Mackinac County Jail
county-jail · 100 South Marley Street, St. Ignace, MI 49781
Few things rattle a family like learning a loved one has been arrested up in Mackinac County, far from home and behind a locked door. We're Bail My Tail, and steadying families in moments like this is what the Butler family has done since Gene opened our doors in 1982, with his son Justin at his side today. When your person is held at the Mackinac County Jail at 100 South Marley Street in St. Ignace, we get to work right away. We'll explain how a surety bond works in plain, honest terms, gather what we need, and post the bond at the jail so you're not navigating the system on your own from a distance. We write bonds across Michigan, and the premium is set by the state at 10 percent of the bond amount, so your cost is clear and fair from the start, no surprises tacked on. St. Ignace and Mackinac County may sit at the top of the mitten, but no corner of Michigan is too far for us. The jail operates 24 hours a day, and our line is open just as long, because an arrest never keeps banker's hours. After the bond is posted, most people are released within about 2 to 8 hours, depending on jail volume. We'll keep you informed the whole way. Call us 24/7 at 877-869-8245, or reach our Detroit office at 313-345-9255, and let's bring your loved one home.
