How bail works after a Kalamazoo arrest

When the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety (KDPS) makes an arrest inside the City of Kalamazoo, the person is typically transported to the Kalamazoo County Jail, the county's central booking and detention facility. After booking, the arrestee is arraigned in the 8th District Court at 330 Eleanor Street, where a judge or magistrate sets the bond amount and conditions of release. Michigan courts generally use one of three bond types: a personal recognizance (PR) bond that requires no money down, a cash or 10% bond paid to the court, or a surety bond posted through a licensed Michigan bail bondsman who charges a non-refundable premium (typically up to 10% of the face amount). Misdemeanor cases stay in the 8th District Court. For felony charges, the 8th District Court handles the arraignment and preliminary examination, then binds the case over to the 9th Circuit Court in Kalamazoo County for trial. A surety bond lets families avoid posting the full cash amount and secures release more quickly while the case proceeds.
