Saraland, Alabama
Saraland is the largest city in north Mobile County with roughly 16,000 residents, sitting about 10 miles north of downtown Mobile where Interstate 65 meets US Highway 43. It borders Satsuma and Creola to the north, Chickasaw and Prichard to the south, and unincorporated Mobile County to the west.
That interstate junction drives the city's arrest profile. DUI, drug interdiction, and warrant arrests during traffic stops along I-65 and US-43 are the most common categories, alongside domestic disputes and retail theft in the commercial corridor near Saraland Boulevard.
The Saraland Police Department operates from 716 Saraland Boulevard South and maintains a short-term city jail. City holds are brief — typically under 24 hours — before defendants are transferred to Mobile County Metro Jail at 450 St. Emanuel Street, where bail is formally set and where every bond is posted.
M&J Bail Bonds is headquartered in Mobile, minutes from Metro Jail, and handles Saraland arrests 24/7. A bail bond in Saraland costs exactly 10% of the bail amount set by the court — fixed by Alabama law under Ala. Code § 12-19-311 — Alabama's bail bond fee law.

Saraland City Jail & Mobile County Metro Jail
Saraland arrests touch two facilities: the Saraland City Jail on Saraland Boulevard South for short-term processing, and Mobile County Metro Jail for full booking, bail, and release. No bond is posted at the city jail.
Official SourcesSaraland Police Department Jail
716 Saraland Boulevard South, Saraland, AL 36571 · (251) 675-5331 / (251) 375-5362 · saraland.org. Operates 24/7 as a short-term holding facility. Holds are typically under 24 hours before transfer to Metro Jail.
Mobile County Metro Jail
450 St. Emanuel Street, Mobile, AL 36603. Inmate info: (251) 574-6412 · MCSO Docket: (251) 574-4702. Booking and bond acceptance 24/7. Operated by the Mobile County Sheriff's Office, 510 South Royal Street, Mobile, AL 36603.
Release Timeline
After M&J posts the bond at Metro Jail, release processing typically takes 2–6 hours. Total time from a Saraland arrest to release is commonly 8–14 hours for a straightforward misdemeanor. Call the moment you learn of the arrest — every hour matters.
Finding A Saraland Inmate
Check mobileso.com for Metro Jail bookings after transfer. For an initial city hold, call Saraland PD at (251) 675-5331 with the full name and date of birth. Or call M&J at (833) MNJ-BAIL — we check both facilities immediately, at no charge.

Where Bail Is Set
Bail is set after booking at Mobile County Metro Jail — not at the Saraland City Jail. Misdemeanor bail follows the Mobile County District Court schedule. Felony bail is set by a Circuit Court judge at arraignment. City ordinance and traffic matters are heard in Saraland Municipal Court at 937 Highway 43 South. If you cannot locate your loved one at Metro Jail right after a Saraland arrest, they may still be in city processing or in transit — call us and we will tell you exactly where they are.

License Suspensions & State Fees
License suspensions are administered by the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) — view official license suspension information →. First and second offenses also carry a $100 Impaired Drivers Trust Fund fee (§ 32-5A-191.2).
Court Dates & Case Records
Mobile County court information is published through the 13th Judicial Circuit at mobile.alacourt.gov, with statewide case and court-date lookups at alacourt.gov. Saraland municipal dates come from the court clerk at (251) 675-5393.
Missing a court date means a bench warrant and bond forfeiture. Call us before a date is missed — it is far easier to fix in advance.
Payment Plans For Saraland Families
Many Saraland families do not have the full 10% premium available upfront — that is completely normal. We offer monthly installment plans, co-signer arrangements, and collateral options on larger bonds, with options as low as 1% down for qualifying cases.
Accepted: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash. Mobile agents come to you if needed. See /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/ and /alabama/no-collateral-bail-bonds/.

What Does A Bail Bond Cost After A Saraland Arrest?
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) fixes the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount — the same rate across all of Mobile County. No exceptions.
Charge Level
Avg Bail Range
Your Cost (10%)
01City ordinance, misdemeanor, petty theft
Bail: $500 – $2,500
Your cost: $50 – $250
02DUI, drug possession
Bail: $2,500 – $10,000
Your cost: $250 – $1,000
03Domestic violence, felony drug charges

Your cost: $1,000 – $2,500

Your cost: $2,500 – $7,500
05Serious violent felony, trafficking
Bail: $75,000+
Your cost: $7,500+
How The Math Works
Bail is $10,000. Alabama's regulated premium is 10%, so your cost is $1,000 plus state administrative fees. M&J posts the full $10,000 with the court. The premium is earned and non-refundable once the bond is posted — that is state law, not our policy.
Read the statute: Ala. Code § 12-19-311
10%State-Set Premium
Premium rate verified by FindLaw →
Alabama state administrative fees are added on top of the 10% premium under Ala. Code § 12-19-311 (verified by FindLaw at codes.findlaw.com). M&J discloses the exact total — premium plus state fees — before you sign anything. Ranges are illustrative only and are not a quote or promise of bail.

Payment Plans
For Real Families
Most families don't have the full 10% premium sitting in a checking account — and that is completely normal. M&J Bail Bonds offers flexible payment arrangements tailored to your financial situation so cost is never the reason your loved one stays in jail longer than necessary.
Payment Plans
We work with you on a payment schedule for the premium. Ask our agents about monthly payment arrangements when you call. No two situations are the same — we will find something that works for your family.
Collateral Options
Depending on the bond amount, collateral may or may not be required. Many DUI bonds — especially first and second offenses — do not require collateral at all. Ask us about your specific situation.
Multiple Payment Methods
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH / bank transfer, Zelle, and cash. Ask about which methods work best for your payment plan arrangement.
Important
The 10% premium is non-refundable under Alabama law — it is earned the moment the bond is posted, regardless of how the case resolves, even if charges are dropped. This is not M&J policy — it is Alabama state law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311). Our agents will explain this fully before you sign anything.

Start Bail ApplicationBail Eligibility
Who Qualifies For Bail After A Saraland Arrest?
Most people arrested in Saraland are bailable. Alabama's constitution guarantees bail in most cases — but Aniah's Law created an exception for certain violent offenses, and federal cases follow a different process.
Misdemeanor Arrests — Almost Always Bailable
The Mobile County bail schedule applies, so no judge is required. DUI, simple assault, petty theft, and misdemeanor possession all fall here, and release is often same-day once bail is set at Metro Jail.
- County schedule — no court appearance needed
- Bond can be posted 24 hours a day at Metro Jail
- See /alabama/misdemeanor-bail-bonds/
Authority
Mobile County District Court bail schedule
Felony Arrests — Usually Bailable
A 13th Circuit judge sets bail at arraignment, typically within 72 hours of booking. Drug distribution and domestic violence are among the most common felony bond requests from Saraland.
- Bail set by a Circuit Court judge
- Preliminary hearing in District Court confirms probable cause
- See /alabama/felony-bail-bonds/
Authority
13th Judicial Circuit — Mobile County
Aniah's Law Charges — Bail May Be Denied
For murder, robbery 1st, kidnapping 1st, burglary 1st, drug trafficking, DV 1st, arson 1st, and human trafficking, a judge CAN deny bail after a hearing. Call M&J immediately — we check Aniah status in real time.
- Applies only to enumerated serious felonies
- Requires a hearing; denial is not automatic
- We post the moment a judge grants bail
Authority
Ala. Const. Art. I § 16, am. 2022 (Aniah's Law)
Federal Charges — Different Process
I-65 interdiction cases sometimes become federal. A U.S. Magistrate at 155 Saint Joseph Street sets release conditions, and federal bonds carry a 15% premium.
- U.S. Magistrate sets conditions of release
- 15% premium on federal bonds

Who Usually Qualifies
Usually released same day: misdemeanors, first-offense DUI, petty theft, and simple possession booked into Metro Jail after Saraland processing.
Who Doesn't Qualify Automatically
Not automatic: Aniah's Law felonies, outstanding bench warrants, probation holds, and federal or immigration detainers. Call us and we will monitor the docket.

Saraland Arrest & Booking
What Happens First
When someone is arrested by the Saraland Police Department inside city limits, this is the exact sequence.
1
Step 1 — The Arrest
Saraland Police Department officers make the arrest within city limits — most often on I-65, US Highway 43, or Saraland Boulevard. SPD operates from 716 Saraland Boulevard South, Saraland, AL 36571 · (251) 675-5331 / (251) 375-5362, 24 hours a day.
2
Step 2 — Short Hold At The Saraland City Jail
Defendants are processed at the city jail — fingerprints, photographs, warrant checks. This is a short-term holding facility only. It is not where bail is posted, and holds are typically under 24 hours.
3
Step 3 — Transfer To Mobile County Metro Jail
Anyone not released on a municipal citation is transferred to Mobile County Metro Jail at 450 St. Emanuel Street, Mobile, AL 36603. This is where bail is formally set and where M&J Bail Bonds posts the bond at the MCSO Docket, 24/7.

Step 4 — Call M&J Bail Bonds Immediately
Call us the moment you know about the arrest — even before transfer. We track the defendant through both facilities using the Mobile County inmate search — mobileso.com and have the bond ready on arrival. (833) MNJ-BAIL — 24/7.
