St. Joseph County Jail

A late-night call from the St. Joseph County Jail can leave a whole family rattled. We are here to help you think clearly and act fast. Bail My Tail has been family-owned since 1982. Gene Butler started it, and his son Justin runs it with him today, which means when you call you get patient, straight answers instead of a runaround. The St. Joseph County Jail is at 650 E. Main St., Centreville, MI 49032, and the Sheriff's Office number is 269-467-9045. The jail's corrections operation runs 24 hours a day, and our phones are answered around the clock too. As a statewide Michigan surety agency, we post the bond for you so you pay just the 10% premium the state sets, not the full amount the court ordered at arraignment. We also keep payment flexible: cash, all major credit cards, debit, bank transfer, and payment plans for qualifying clients. After the bond is posted in Centreville, most loved ones are released in roughly two to eight hours, depending on how busy the jail is. There is no need to stand at the counter guessing what to do next. Call our 24/7 toll-free line at 877-869-8245, our Flint office at 810-234-5776, or our Detroit office at 313-345-9255, and we will start right away. Call Bail My Tail today.
