If a phone call just told you that someone you love is being held at the Jackson County Jail, your heart is probably pounding and your thoughts are scattered. You don't have to figure this out alone, and that's why we're here. Bail My Tail has stood beside Michigan families since 1982, and we're still a family ourselves: Gene Butler built this business and his son Justin runs it with him today. The Jackson County Jail, known as the Wesley Street Jail, is located at 212 W Wesley Street in Jackson and is open 24 hours. Instead of guessing at the bond amount or the process, let us take charge. We'll confirm the bond, explain how a surety bond works in plain terms, and post it so your loved one can come home. Michigan regulates our premium at 10% of the bond, a single, upfront rate with no quiet extras, and we offer payment plans for qualifying clients when you need them. Once we post the bond at the Wesley Street Jail, release usually takes about 2 to 8 hours, depending on how busy the jail is. We answer the phone day and night, all year round. Call Bail My Tail right now at 877-869-8245, and let our family help bring yours home to Jackson.
