Crawford County Jail

county-jail · 200 W. Michigan Ave., Grayling, MI 49738

Learning that someone you love is sitting in the Crawford County Jail in Grayling can leave you shaken and unsure where to turn. Please know you are not on your own. Bail My Tail is a family agency that Gene Butler opened in 1982 and runs today with his son Justin, and we have spent more than four decades helping worried Crawford County families bring their people home. The jail at 200 W. Michigan Ave. in Grayling is open around the clock, and our phones never go quiet either, so whatever hour the call comes, we will answer. Rather than trying to confirm posting methods or amounts on your own, let us take that weight off your shoulders. We post a state-regulated Michigan surety bond, so you pay just a 10% premium of the bond the court set instead of the entire cash amount, which is often what makes a release possible at all. Once the bond is posted at the Crawford County Jail, release usually takes about two to eight hours, depending on how busy the jail is that night. We will be honest with you about every step and keep you informed until your loved one walks out the door. There is no need to wait and worry alone. Call us now at 877-869-8245 toll-free, any time of the day or night, and let our family help yours.
