Ogemaw County Correctional Facility

county-jail · 912 W. Houghton Ave., West Branch, MI 48661

When someone you care about is locked inside the Ogemaw County Correctional Facility in West Branch, every minute feels like an hour. Take a deep breath, because you do not have to handle this by yourself. Bail My Tail is a family business Gene Butler started back in 1982 and runs today with his son Justin, and we have guided countless Ogemaw County families through this very moment. The correctional facility at 912 W. Houghton Ave. in West Branch stays open 24 hours, and our line is always open too, so it does not matter whether it is a Tuesday afternoon or three in the morning. Rather than trying to figure out posting procedures or accepted payment forms on your own, let a real person who does this daily walk you through it. We post a state-regulated Michigan surety bond, so you pay only a 10% premium of the bond the court set instead of the entire cash amount, which for most families makes all the difference. Once we post the bond at the Ogemaw County Correctional Facility, release usually takes about two to eight hours, depending on how busy the jail is. We will keep you posted and never leave you guessing. There is no reason to sit up worrying alone. Call us now, any hour, at 877-869-8245 toll-free, and let our family help bring yours home.
