If you are planning to spend some time in Spokane County Jail, you might be wondering what to expect. Going to jail can be intimidating, especially if this is your first time.

Good Time
Due to problems with overcrowding, many jails allow inmates to be released early based on good behavior. Spokane County gives inmates this time off their sentence if they stay out of trouble and stick to the rules during their incarceration.

To be eligible to get out early, you need to avoid fights, and stick to all the rules. Former inmates have reported being able to get out fifty percent early, so it is really worth it to be on your best behavior to get this time off.

Passing the Time
One of the most challenging parts of serving time is boredom, and figuring out what to do while you are locked up. Spokane County provides facilities to help the inmates pass their time. These include TV, basketball, chess and other games and books. The jail also has regular church services, which former inmates have described as being very positive and helpful.


Food
Spokane County serves inmates three meals per day. The food is not rated very highly, and the portions are reportedly small. Breakfast and lunch are the same everyday, with dinner varying from day to day. Inmates can order extra snacks off commissary if they have money available in their jail account.

If you have the option, it is recommended that you arrange to have money in your account so you will have more options as far as food goes.
