Jackson County Bail Bonds

Few phone calls land harder than the one telling you a loved one has been arrested in Jackson County. Take a breath - my family has helped people through this exact moment since 1982. Gene Butler started Bail My Tail, and his son Justin still answers the call, because a scared family deserves a real person, not a runaround. Jackson County operates two jail facilities - the Wesley Street Jail on West Wesley Street and the Chanter Road Jail on Chanter Road - so the first thing we'll do is help you figure out where things stand. After booking, the defendant is brought before the 12th District Court for arraignment, where they're advised of the charges and their rights and a judge or magistrate sets bond. That bond may be personal recognizance, a 10% cash bond, a full cash or surety bond, or a bond with conditions, depending on the charge and the risk. Misdemeanors generally stay in the 12th District Court; for felonies, a preliminary examination follows, and on a finding of probable cause the case is bound over to the 4th Circuit Court of Jackson County. We'll be beside you the whole way. Our premium is the state-regulated 10% - the same across Michigan - and we're reachable 24/7. Call Bail My Tail now: statewide at 877-869-8245 or in Flint at 810-234-5776.
