if your in jail and you go to court when your suppose to and didn't get in is that bad?

Answer 1

I'm trying to understand your question completely, and what I am thinking is this: You are in county jail. You are waiting to appear before the judge. They call your name in the early morning and you get loaded onto the Sheriff's bus and transported to the courthouse. You are kept in a holding cell with other in-custody persons and your name is never called throughout the day. They put you back onto the bus and you are returned to jail. You want to know if that's a bad sign.
OK, if the situation I just wrote is exactly what happened, then no, it's not that bad. What happened is what's known as "a dry run." You see, for every inmate that the sheriff's put onto that bus or in their patrol car, they receive money for. They aren't just transporting inmates in the name of justice, the sheriff department receives money for every single inmate's transportation from taxpayers money. If they overload prisoners that really can't see the judge that day due to time constraints, it's no bother for them--they still get paid. I'm not saying it's done purposely like a scam, it's just something the public isn't generally aware of and not something anyone really checks into or cares about. I know of several people who have gone on a "dry run" from jail to court about 5 times before seeing the judge. It won't affect the charges, since it's not the inmates fault, they were present but not called. The sheriff department packed every seat on their bus that day so it's not their fault if there isn't enough hours in the court's schedule to see them all, and they got paid. County jails and state prisons are major economic systems that employ vast amounts of people on every level and a lead industry in the United States. Anyway, that's my answer if what I explained was the circumstance that your question described.

Answer 2

I was a court clerk for 9 years...not unusual for people to not articulate what they mean. For various reasons that I wont go into right now. I believe this person is saying they were in jail and released and was suppose to come back to court on a certain day and time. The excuse from what I gather is they missed their name on the docket, probably from being late. You should have stayed at the end of court and told the Judge you missed your name. But since you didn't more than likely a warrant is going to be issued for your arrest. Call the clerks office see if it is possible to get another court hearing date, if not ask how much is owed on the warrant go post the money and they will then give you a date for the warrant.

Answer 3

Do you mean they ran out of time before they called your case? Your question makes no sense whatsoever. If you were there when you were supposed to be there - AND - you checked in when you got there, it's their problem. You have proof you were there. Make sure you're on the jail's transport sheet and ask your lawyer when your next date is. They can't hold you forever.
