Obviously, if you are incarcerated, your main thought is about how to get out. After you’ve gone through booking, your bail amount will be determined either through a preset bail schedule or a magistrate. If no bail is set this may mean that you will either be released, or you are kept in jail until your court date.

If you do bail out you must promise to go to your court date, and until that date you are required not to go out of town.

In most cases, inmates are given time off in exchange for good behavior when they follow the rules and conduct themselves properly while incarcerated.

If you do exhibit good behavior and the jail believes you can be trusted, you may be granted work release. You will be required to go back to jail every day when you’re finished at your job, or you may have the chance to move into a halfway house instead of the jail.

Your bail is how much money that you have to pay to the courts to be released from jail until your trial. Your bail amount depends on the crime you’ve been charged with. You will need to pay to the courts ten percent of the total that was determined in order for you to get discharged from jail. If you don’t go to your scheduled court date, whoever paid your bail will lose all of the bail money.

To find out someone’s bail amount you have to call the jail. If you have all the person’s info, such as name, address and date of birth, they will be able to let you know what their bail is set at. Also, you can see the bail amount on the jail website.

Posting bail to get out of jail is never a fun thing, but fortunately, it’s simple to do if you have the money. First of all, find out if their bail is a “Cash Bond Only”. If this is the case, you will not be able to use the services of a bail bondsman. Cash only – they will not take a personal check. Once you have paid the bond, the person will be released to your care. If the conditions of bail are not violated, the bail money you posted will be returned to you.

If the bail amount is too high, or you can’t afford it yourself, you should try to hire a bail bondsman. Bondsmen will usually have a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the total amount of bail set by the magistrate, and in most cases with a minimum fee of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman is non-refundable and has to be paid in cash. If bail is very large, the bondsman will usually ask to use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral in addition to the fee they charge.

The jail intake process takes you through these steps:

• You will be placed in a waiting area or cell. If the jail is really busy, it will take a while to get processed.
• The first thing you will have to is you must answer a bunch of questions, like what is your full name, street address, date of birth and an emergency contact person.
• They’ll also ask about your medical and psychological history.
• You will be issued an inmate ID number.
• You will be fingerprinted.
• You will get your mugshot taken.
• All of your personal property will be taken away from you and stored until you get released from jail.
• They will let you make a phone call to get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or bail bondsman.
• If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you might be able to keep wearing street clothes, if not you will be issued a jail jumpsuit.

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged takes anywhere between 15 minutes to quite a few hours. In other words the quicker bail is posted, the quicker you will get discharged. How quickly you get discharged might depend on whether or not you’ve been given a cash bond or if a magistrate has to figure out the amount of bail to be set. For a minor charge, you will get booked and released on your own recognizance. When you have served your sentence and know the date of your release, you should expect to get discharged at any time that day – but usually in the morning.

If there is a, or if you need to start your sentence, you really should do the right thing and turn yourself in. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go to the jail intake center, and tell them that believe that there could be an outstanding arrest warrant out for you. The officer will verify that you have an outstanding arrest warrant, and if there is one, they will take you into custody. If you have a jail sentence to serve, report on the date and time that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Make sure that you get don’t get there late, or they may decide to arrest you. Only bring necessary items when you go to jail, such as your driver’s license or even state issued ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor’s prescription, as well as an official sentencing order.

Visitation procedures at Multi-County Correctional Center can change, so it would be wise to check the official Multi-County Correctional Center jail site before you go to visitation.

All phone calls from jail are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. These phone calls are much pricier than phone calls made at home. There are certain restrictions about when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but you should keep in mind that you are just one of many people who want to talk to their loved ones. If you break the rules and are disciplined, an inmate’s phone privileges might get reduced or eliminated completely, as part of the punishment.

When you’ve been arrested, you need to be aware that you still have rights, the first of which is the right to request an attorney. You are only allowed to make so many phone calls in jail, so it is a good idea to get a friend or family member to find an attorney when you call. You may be asking yourself ‘but do I really need a lawyer’ You can represent yourself if you really want to, but, a criminal lawyer can advise you of your rights, help protect your best interests and show you the way through the legal system in your county. The quicker you hire a lawyer to represent you and work on your situation, the better.

If you need an attorney, but can’t afford a lawyer, you will get a public defender. Also, the Public Defender Office is staffed by private investigators, forensics experts and case workers. You should be reassured that Public Defenders are bona-fide lawyers that are members of the State Bar and are licensed to handle your case.

Have you or someone you know had to use a court appointed attorney or Public Defender? How did they do?

Court records are public and available to anyone who requests them. They contain a file with a docket sheet and each of the documents that have been filed in the case. You are able to access court records with the website, or at the Clerk of Court where the case was filed.

A Clerk of Court is a member of the court who manages access to court records. The Clerk of Court also administer the oath for anyone testifying in court, and also read the verdict when the jury makes their final decision. All records related to your court case are kept at the office of the Clerk of Court.

Court fees and costs are the costs associated with your court case, such as for example filing charges, motion and claim fees, and court appearance fees. If you can’t afford to pay these fees and have been assigned a Public Defender, you will not be responsible for these fees.

A Magistrate is the judge that rules on your court case. Magistrates do a number of things, like setting bail, issuing arrest warrants, and presiding over preliminary court hearings and detention proceedings.

A pre-sentencing report is completed with the defendant’s background information and details of the defendant’s life history, which the magistrate judge will review and take into account when determining your sentence. Information and personal details will be gathered from the defendant, the defendant’s family, and if necessary the victim in the crime. Keep in mind you are allowed to ask to have a copy of your pre-sentencing report prior to sentencing, and correct any mistakes that it contains.

When you are convicted of a crime, you will be sentenced. There are a number of different options, including community service and probation, to incarceration in jail or prison. Depending on the particulars of your trial, the severity of your crime, and any sentencing guidelines that they judge will use, you might get taken into custody immediately, or you might be given a date that you are supposed to report to jail to serve your jail term according to your sentence.

Life In Jail / What Its Like

Daily Life

Just the thought of spending time in Multi-County Correctional Center is quite unpleasant, you will soon get accustomed to the daily routine there. You should expect a wake-up alarm each morning at six in the morning, and then roll call. You will then get breakfast. When you finish eating breakfast you will be required to work in the work program or other activity that you are assigned. This could be working in the kitchen, laundry, or some sort of manufacturing job. While this may seem tedious, it may help you when you leave jail, as you are gaining experience in a certain field of work. Other inmates go to school, while some take part in mandated treatment programs. After lunch, there will be another roll call, then back to work. Your evening will be spent either in your cell or a common room. During this time dinner is served and you will be expected to take a shower. After another roll call, it’s lights out. Even though you will be confined to your cell, there may be enough light to read or write letters. Then again, most inmates welcome lights out, and try to get as much sleep as they can.

Most people are frightened at the idea of jail because they don’t know what to expect. If you have spent any time in Multi-County Correctional Center, your experiences would be welcomed, if it can help another person to deal with it.

Dress Code

When incarcerated, all inmates are expected to wear the Multi-County Correctional Center uniform. This is normally a jumpsuit or scrubs. Of note to anyone visiting an inmate – you must be properly dressed. Any clothing considered inappropriate will not be permitted.

How To Send Money to an Inmate

You will have your own ‘bank account’ while in jail. This money is used to purchase items from the Commissary. Family and friends can deposit money into this account for you, and any money you earn while in prison will also be deposited into your account. Outside money can be paid in to your account via a money order, cash or check. If someone sends a check or money order, make sure that they write your inmate ID on it. The maximum amount you are allowed in your account is $290 per month.

The process for sending money to inmates is likely to change, so review the the Multi-County Correctional Center website when send funds to someone in jail there.


Commissary

The commissary is the jail store. You can purchase a number of things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will probably want to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.

Inmate Medications

If you are on any type of prescription medication, you will be allowed to continue taking it while in jail. When you are first processed, you will be asked what medication you take. You will then be referred to the jail nurse or doctor who will be in charge of monitoring your health and prescribing your medication.

Meals

You will get three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. As expected, they are very basic, but healthy. A typical breakfast might be cereal, toast, coffee and fruit. Lunch might be spaghetti, salad, bread and milk. Dinner could be chicken casserole, rice, vegetables, dessert and milk. Contrary to popular belief, prison food has greatly improved over the years, and you might find that it’s not much different from what you would eat at home.

Pods / The Yard

The jail is designed in a ‘pod’ layout, with self-contained housing arranged around an outdoor yard. Each pod has a central control station and a common room, and the inmates take turns in using the yard. The jail is designed this way to keep certain inmates together, and others away from the general population.

Gangs

As with life in general, gangs are a part of prison life. Obviously it is best to avoid becoming a part of this environment as it will only lead to trouble. When you first enter prison, you might find yourself being ‘primed’ to join a gang, or worse, you might get their attention in a negative way. The best thing to do is keep your head down and don’t get involved.
