How bail works in Ionia County
After an arrest in Ionia County, the person is booked into the Ionia County Correctional Center, 133 Adams Street, Ionia, MI 48846 (jail/inmate info: 616-527-5390), operated by the Ionia County Sheriff's Office. The accused is then arraigned before the 64-A District Court (100 W. Main St., Ionia, MI 48846, criminal division 616-527-5346), where a magistrate or judge sets bond. Under Michigan practice, bond may be set as cash (full amount), a 10% bond (10% of the total), a surety bond posted through a licensed bail bondsman, or personal recognizance (release on signature, no money required). Adult misdemeanors punishable by up to one year are handled entirely in the 64-A District Court, including arraignment, bond, and sentencing. Felony cases begin in the 64-A District Court with arraignment, bond-setting, and a preliminary examination; if the defendant is bound over, the case proceeds to the 8th Circuit Court (100 W. Main St., Courthouse, Ionia, MI 48846) for trial-level felony proceedings.
