How bail works in Alcona County
A person arrested in Alcona County is booked into the Alcona County Jail, operated by the Alcona County Sheriff's Office at 214 W. Main St., Harrisville, MI 48740 (989-724-6271). After booking, the defendant is brought before the 81st District Court (located in the Alcona County Building, 106 Fifth Street, Harrisville, MI 48740; 989-724-9500), where the judge or magistrate conducts the initial arraignment, informs the defendant of the charges, and sets bond. Misdemeanor cases generally remain in the 81st District Court through disposition. For felonies, the 81st District Court handles the arraignment and preliminary examination; if probable cause is found, the case is bound over to the 23rd Circuit Court (106 Fifth Street, Harrisville; 989-724-9400) for trial. Under Michigan law (MCR 6.106), a judge may release a defendant on a personal recognizance bond, an unsecured appearance bond, a 10% (cash) bond, a cash or surety bond, or set conditions of release. Bond amounts reflect the offense severity, flight risk, and public safety. Verify all amounts and posting procedures directly with the court or jail.
