When you hear that a family member is being held at the Kalkaska County Sheriff's Office Jail, panic and confusion can hit all at once. Slow down and let us help. We are Bail My Tail, a family agency Gene Butler founded in 1982 and now runs with his son Justin, and walking Kalkaska County families through moments exactly like this is what we have done for over forty years. The jail at 605 N. Birch Street in Kalkaska is open 24 hours, and our phones are answered around the clock too, so it never matters when the call comes in. Rather than trying to work out cash requirements or which office handles what, lean on us. We post a state-regulated Michigan surety bond on your behalf, so you pay only a 10% premium of the bond the court set instead of the full amount, which for most families is what makes a release possible. Once we post the bond at the Kalkaska County Jail, release usually takes about two to eight hours, depending on how busy the jail is that day. We will explain every step plainly and keep you in the loop until your loved one is back home. You do not have to face this alone or in the dark. Call us now at 877-869-8245 toll-free, any hour of any day, and let our family stand with yours.
