Allegan County Sheriff's Office & Corrections Center

county-jail · 640 River St., Allegan, MI 49010

When the phone rings and you learn a loved one has been booked into the Allegan County Sheriff's Office and Corrections Center at 640 River St. in Allegan, your heart drops. Take a breath, because you don't have to figure this out alone. We're Bail My Tail, a family bail-bonds agency run by Gene Butler and his son Justin, and we've helped scared Michigan families since 1982. Allegan County is one of the places we serve every single day. The corrections center is staffed around the clock, and once a bond is posted, folks are typically released within two to eight hours, depending on how busy the jail is that night. Here's how we help: you call us, we explain the charge and the bond in plain English, and we post a state-regulated surety bond so you don't have to come up with the full amount in cash. Under Michigan law, our premium is 10 percent, and we'll walk you through it with no surprises. We answer the phone any hour, any day, including nights, weekends, and holidays, because arrests don't keep business hours. If a payment plan would help your family, we'll talk it through. Call us now at our 24/7 line, 877-869-8245, or reach our Flint office at 810-234-5776. We'll help get your person home.

BOND POSTING LOCATION

According to the county's official "Pay Bond or Bail" page, bond/bail is posted at the Bond Lobby on the south side of the Allegan County Sheriff's Office, 640 River St., Allegan, MI 49010. A kiosk in the Bond Lobby accepts cash, debit, and credit cards for posting bond (this is a legitimate bail-posting kiosk, not a commissary/money-deposit kiosk). A phone payment option is also listed at 866-516-0115. Bond Lobby hours are not published online; call 269-673-0500 to confirm hours and accepted payment forms before going.

VISITATION

Visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance so the inmate has time to confirm. Visitation hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and each inmate may have up to a one-hour visit per week. For help scheduling a visit, call the Sheriff's Office at 269-673-0500 (the county also lists a visitation scheduling line, 866-516-0115). Confirm current rules on the official Visiting Inmates page before traveling.

WHAT TO BRING

The county's published materials do not list specific items to bring or a dress code for in-person bond posting or visitation. Call the Corrections Center at 269-673-0500 to confirm acceptable identification, payment forms, and visitation requirements before arriving.
