When the phone rings about someone in Alger County, the rest of the world stops mattering. I'm Justin Butler, and with my father Gene I've helped Michigan families through Bail My Tail since 1982. Munising may be a small town on Lake Superior's shore, but no family up there should feel alone when a loved one is behind bars — we treat your emergency like it's our own. Let me explain the path. After arrest, your person is booked into the Alger County Jail on East Varnum Street in Munising. They're then brought before the 93rd District Court for arraignment, where the charges are read, their rights are explained, and the judge sets the amount and conditions of bail. Misdemeanors generally stay in the 93rd District Court. For a felony, the district court sets bond and schedules a preliminary examination; if probable cause is established, your loved one is bound over to the 11th Circuit Court for trial. Michigan judges can order a personal recognizance bond, an unsecured appearance bond, a 10% cash bond, or a full cash or surety bond. When a surety bond is the answer, we post it for you. Our premium is the state-regulated 10% of the bond — the same statewide rate — and we're on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call Bail My Tail: Flint 810-234-5776, Detroit 313-345-9255, or toll-free 877-869-8245.
