How bail works in Monroe County
A person arrested in Monroe County is booked into the Monroe County Main Jail, operated by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office at 100 East Second Street, Monroe, MI 48161 (jail 734-240-7401; corrections 734-240-7430). After booking, the accused is arraigned in the 1st District Court (106 E First Street, Monroe, MI 48161; 734-240-7075), which has jurisdiction over misdemeanors and the initial stages of felony cases. At arraignment the judge or magistrate advises the defendant of the charges and sets bond. Under Michigan court rule (MCR 6.106), a judge may release a defendant on personal recognizance, an unsecured appearance bond, or a secured bond requiring cash, surety (a licensed bail bond agent), or a 10% deposit. Misdemeanors are typically resolved entirely in the District Court. For felonies, the District Court holds a probable-cause conference and preliminary examination; if probable cause is found, the case is bound over to the 38th Circuit Court of Monroe County (125 East Second Street, Monroe, MI 48161; 734-240-7000) for trial. Bond conditions can be reviewed at later hearings. Always confirm current bond amount and payment procedures directly with the jail or court.
