Ingham County Jail

county-jail · 630 N. Cedar Street, Mason, MI 48854

When a family member is being held at the Ingham County Jail, the not-knowing is often the worst part, and that's where we step in. We're Bail My Tail, the Butler family's bail agency, started by Gene Butler in 1982 and still run by Gene and his son Justin. The Ingham County Jail is located at 630 N. Cedar Street in Mason and is open 24 hours a day. Here's how we help: once a bond is set at the arraignment, you call us, we verify the amount, and we post a surety bond to secure your loved one's release. You pay the state-regulated 10% premium, and we accept cash, all major credit cards, debit, bank transfer, and payment plans for qualifying clients, so a tight budget doesn't have to slow things down. At this facility, most people are released within 2 to 8 hours of the bond being posted, depending on how busy the jail is. We handle the paperwork and stay with your family the whole way through. Mason is well within our service area, since we post surety bonds statewide across Michigan. Call our 24/7 toll-free line at 877-869-8245 any time, and we'll start the work of bringing your loved one home.
