Missaukee County Jail

When someone you love is booked into the Missaukee County Jail at 111 S. Canal Street in Lake City, the worry hits fast and that building can feel like a wall between you and them. We're Bail My Tail, a family bail-bonds agency Gene Butler started back in 1982 and now runs with his son Justin, and we've walked Missaukee County families through this exact moment more times than we can count. The first thing we do is take a breath with you and explain plainly how a surety bond works. In Michigan your premium is a state-regulated 10 percent of the bond amount, so you'll know your cost up front with no surprises. From there we handle the paperwork and post the bond at the jail so you aren't left figuring it out alone. Lake City sits at the heart of Missaukee County, and the jail runs around the clock, which is exactly why we do too. Whether it's the middle of a workday or two in the morning, someone from our family answers. Once the bond is posted, release usually takes about 2 to 8 hours, depending on how busy the jail is that night, and we'll keep you in the loop the whole way. Call us anytime on our 24/7 line at 877-869-8245, or reach our Flint office at 810-234-5776, and let's bring your person home.
