Satsuma, Alabama
Satsuma, Alabama is a residential city of approximately 6,900 residents in north Mobile County — bordered by Saraland to the south, Creola to the east, and unincorporated Mobile County to the north. The city sits on the US Highway 43 corridor, roughly 13 miles north of downtown Mobile, and covers 7.4 square miles.
Satsuma is one of the most affluent communities in Mobile County, with a median household income exceeding $101,000. Its crime rate is 2.32 times below the Alabama state average and 2.56 times below the national average — ranking it safer than 72% of Alabama cities.
Despite this, arrests do occur, primarily related to DUI on US-43, domestic disputes, and property crime in the residential neighborhoods. The Satsuma Police Department operates from 5668 Second Street and maintains its own 24/7 jail facility for initial processing before defendants are transferred to Mobile County Metro Jail.
M&J Bail Bonds is headquartered in Mobile, minutes from Metro Jail, and handles Satsuma arrests 24/7. A bail bond in Satsuma 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.

Satsuma PD Jail & Mobile County Metro Jail
Satsuma arrests touch two facilities: the Satsuma Police Department jail on Second Street for initial processing and short-term detention, and Mobile County Metro Jail for full booking, bail, and release. Longer-term sentences are served at Metro Jail or state prison — not the city facility.
Official SourcesSatsuma Police Department Jail
5668 Second Street, Satsuma, AL 36572. Main: (251) 675-0151 · Fax: (251) 675-1485. Operates 24/7 with approximately 16 officers and civilian staff (11 sworn officers, 2024). Maintains its own jail facility for initial processing.
Mobile County Metro Jail
450 St. Emanuel Street, Mobile, AL 36603. Inmate info: (251) 574-6412 · Sheriff's Office: (251) 574-8622. Booking 24/7. Average daily population about 1,500 with roughly 18,000 bookings a year. 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 Satsuma arrest to release is commonly 8–14 hours for a straightforward misdemeanor. Call M&J immediately after arrest — every hour matters.
Finding A Satsuma Inmate
Check mobileso.com for Metro Jail bookings after transfer. For initial Satsuma holds, call SPD at (251) 675-0151 with the detainee's full name and date of birth. Or call M&J Bail Bonds at (833) MNJ-BAIL — we check both facilities for you immediately.
Mobile County Sheriff's Office — mobileso.com inmate search →
Where Bail Is Set
Bail is set at Mobile County Metro Jail after booking is complete — not at the Satsuma Police Department facility. Misdemeanor bail follows the county schedule. Felony bail is set by a Circuit Court judge at arraignment. If you cannot locate your loved one at Metro Jail right after a Satsuma arrest, they may still be in initial 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, and statewide case and court-date lookups run through alacourt.gov.
Missing a court date in the 13th Circuit 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 Satsuma Families
Many Satsuma 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 Satsuma 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%)
01Misdemeanor, petty theft, simple assault
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
Bail: $10,000 – $25,000
Your cost: $1,000 – $2,500
04Felony assault, trafficking
Bail: $25,000 – $75,000
Your cost: $2,500 – $7,500
05Serious violent felony
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 Satsuma Arrest?
Most people arrested in Satsuma 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 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 bail schedule
Felony Arrests — Usually Bailable
A Circuit Court judge sets bail at arraignment. Domestic violence and drug charges are among the most common felony bond requests M&J handles from Satsuma.
- Bail set by a 13th Circuit 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, burglary 1st, and drug trafficking, a judge CAN deny bail after an Aniah hearing. Call M&J immediately — we check Aniah status in real time.
- Applies only to enumerated violent 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
Federal jurisdiction cases arising in the area carry a 15% premium and a U.S. Magistrate sets bail rather than a county judge.
- U.S. Magistrate sets conditions of release
- 15% premium on federal bonds
- See /alabama/federal-bail-bonds/
Authority
U.S. District Court — Southern District of Alabama
Who Usually Qualifies
Usually released same day: misdemeanors, first-offense DUI, petty theft, and simple possession booked into Metro Jail after Satsuma 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.
