Barry County Jail

There is no good time to hear that a family member has been arrested and taken to the Barry County Jail in Hastings. Whatever time it is, we are awake and ready to help. Bail My Tail is a family-owned Michigan agency, run since 1982 by Gene Butler and his son Justin, and we answer every call ourselves with patience instead of a script. The Barry County Jail sits at 1212 W. State St., Hastings, MI 49058, and it is staffed 24 hours a day, so you never have to wait for morning to get started. For a Barry County arrest, we post a state-regulated surety bond at Michigan's 10% premium, which means you pay ten percent of the bail and we pledge the rest to the court on your behalf. Bond amounts in Barry County are set through the court, and we will help you understand exactly what is needed and handle the posting so you are not guessing. Once the bond is posted, most people are released within two to eight hours, depending on how busy the jail is. If you want to confirm the bond amount or details first, you can reach the jail directly at 269-948-4804. When you are ready to bring your loved one home, call Bail My Tail any time at 877-869-8245, our Flint office at 810-234-5776, or our Detroit office at 313-345-9255.

BOND POSTING LOCATION
The Barry County Sheriff's official "Depositing Money" page covers commissary/inmate-account deposits only (lobby kiosk, JailATM, InmateSales, money orders/cashier checks payable to "Barry County Jail") and does NOT describe posting bail; those kiosks are not bail-posting methods. Bond procedures and amounts are handled through the court (56-B District Court, 269-945-1404) and the jail. Contact the jail at 269-948-4804 to confirm where and how to post bond, accepted payment, and hours before going in person.
VISITATION
Per the Barry County Sheriff's Office, all inmate visitations are conducted via video visits through InmateSales. A phone in the Sheriff's Office lobby connects visitors to help desk personnel to assist in setting up a visit for those without internet access. Specific visiting days and hours are not published online; confirm scheduling with the jail at 269-948-4804.
