How bail works after a Jackson arrest

Jackson is the county seat of Jackson County in south-central Michigan. If you are arrested by the Jackson Police Department within the city, you are typically booked into the Jackson County Jail, which the Sheriff's Office operates for the entire county. After booking, your first court appearance is an arraignment before a judge or magistrate of the 12th District Court, housed in the Jackson County Tower Building at 120 W. Michigan Ave. downtown. At arraignment the court informs you of the charges and sets bond. The 12th District Court handles misdemeanors and conducts felony arraignments and preliminary exams; felony cases are then bound over to the 4th Circuit Court for Jackson County, which sits in the same building. In-custody defendants are often arraigned by video link from the jail. Michigan courts may set a personal recognizance (PR) bond requiring no money, a cash or surety bond, or a 10 percent bond. A licensed bail bond agent can post a surety bond for a non-refundable premium, securing release while the case proceeds. Bond amounts depend on the charge, criminal history, and flight risk.
