How bail works in Mason County
A person arrested in Mason County is booked into the Mason County Jail/Corrections facility at 306 North Delia Street, Ludington, MI 49431 (Sheriff's Office main line 231-843-3475). After booking, the accused is brought before the 79th District Court (304 East Ludington Avenue, Ludington), which conducts the initial arraignment, reads the charges, and sets bond for both misdemeanor and felony cases. Misdemeanors generally remain in the 79th District Court for resolution. For felonies, the district court holds a probable-cause conference and a preliminary examination; if probable cause is found, the case is bound over to the 51st Circuit Court of Mason County (304 E. Ludington Avenue, Suite 104), which handles all felony trials and sentencing. Michigan courts may set release on personal recognizance (PR bond), an unsecured appearance bond, a 10% (cash/surety percentage) bond, or a full cash/surety bond, sometimes with conditions. Bond amounts and conditions are at the judge's discretion based on flight risk and public safety. Bond can be posted at the jail or, for circuit matters, through the court; confirm current procedures and accepted payment methods by phone before posting.
