Bail is a set amount of money or bond set by the court to ensure the defendant returns for future hearings. It allows the arrested person to be released from jail while awaiting trial.
⚖️ How Bail Works in Michigan
- Arrest & Booking
After an arrest, the individual is taken to a local jail (such as Macomb County Jail or Oakland County Jail) and processed. - Bail Amount Set by Judge
A judge sets the bail based on:- Severity of charges
- Criminal history
- Flight risk
- Community ties
- Paying the Bail
You can either:- Pay the full cash amount to the court, or
- Hire a licensed bail bondsman (like AAA Liberty) to post bail for you for just 10% of the total amount.
