Learning that a family member has been booked into the Monroe County Main Jail is the kind of news that stops you cold. Take a breath, because we're here, and we know exactly how to help. Bail My Tail has served Michigan families since 1982, and we've never stopped being a family ourselves: Gene Butler started this business, and his son Justin runs it with him to this day. The Monroe County Main Jail is located at 100 East Second Street in Monroe and is open 24 hours a day. Instead of standing in a lobby unsure of what to do, let us take the reins. We'll confirm the bond amount, explain the surety bond process in plain language, and post the bond so your loved one can come home. Under Michigan's state-regulated rules, our premium is 10% of the bond, a fixed, honest rate with nothing slipped in, and we offer payment plans for qualifying clients. After the bond is posted at the Monroe County Main Jail, release generally takes about 2 to 8 hours, depending on how busy booking is that day. Day or night, weekday or holiday, we answer. Call Bail My Tail right now at 877-869-8245, and let our family do all we can to bring yours home to Monroe.
