How bail works in Jackson County
When someone is arrested in Jackson County, they are booked into the Jackson County Jail, operated by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. The county runs two facilities: the Wesley Street Jail at 212 W Wesley Street, Jackson, MI 49201 (517-768-7900) and the Chanter Road Jail at 1995 Chanter Road, Jackson, MI 49201 (517-768-1609). After booking, the defendant is brought before the 12th District Court for arraignment, where they are advised of the charges and their constitutional rights, and a judge or magistrate sets bond. Bond may be a personal recognizance (PR) bond, a 10% cash bond, a full cash or surety bond, or a bond with conditions, depending on the charge and risk. Misdemeanor cases generally remain in the 12th District Court. For felony charges, the defendant is entitled to a preliminary examination in the 12th District Court; if probable cause is found, the case is bound over to the 4th Circuit Court of Jackson County, which handles felony trials. Each case is unique, so an attorney should be consulted.
