Schoolcraft County Bail Bonds

Getting word that someone you love is locked up in Schoolcraft County can knock the wind right out of you. I'm Justin Butler, and my father Gene and I have made Bail My Tail a family business since 1982. Manistique sits on the shore of Lake Michigan in the Upper Peninsula, and whether you're across the street or across the state, we'll treat your loved one like one of our own. Let me lay out the process. After arrest, your person is booked at the Schoolcraft County Jail on Main Street in Manistique. Arraignment follows in the 93rd Judicial District Court on Walnut Street, where the judge advises the charges and sets bond conditions for both misdemeanor and felony cases. Misdemeanors are usually resolved in that district court. For a felony, the court holds a preliminary examination; if probable cause is found, the case is bound over to the 11th Circuit Court, also on Walnut Street, which handles felony trials. Michigan courts can set a personal recognizance bond, an unsecured appearance bond, a 10% cash bond, or a full cash or surety bond. When the judge orders a surety bond, we post it and get your loved one home. Our premium is the state-regulated 10% of the bond — the same statewide — and we answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
