When a loved one is held at the Marquette County Jail, way up here in the U.P., it can feel like you are facing it alone. You are not. Bail My Tail has been a family-run Michigan bail agency since 1982, and Gene Butler and his son Justin treat every caller like a neighbor. The jail is located at 236 W. Baraga Avenue in Marquette and operates 24 hours a day, so we stay reachable around the clock to match it. For a Marquette County arrest, we post a surety bond statewide at Michigan's state-regulated 10% premium, meaning you pay just ten percent of the full bail and we stand behind the rest with the court. We will gather the details, explain each step in plain language, and handle the posting so you are not navigating it cold. Even though Marquette is hours from our downstate offices, we post bonds across all of Michigan and stay with you by phone the whole way. Once the bond is in, release usually happens within two to eight hours, depending on how busy the jail is. If you would like to confirm the booking or bond amount directly, you can call the jail at 906-225-8435. When you are ready for help getting your family member home, call Bail My Tail at our 24/7 line 877-869-8245, our Flint office at 810-234-5776, or our Detroit office at 313-345-9255.
