Grant County Corrections, OR

Visitation at Grant County Corrections is by appointment—plan to schedule in advance. Before booking, you'll need to be on the approved visitor list and cleared through the facility's screening process. Expect your visit to be monitored, and be ready for standard security screening. Visits can be canceled or ended early for safety, staffing, or rule violations. Procedures vary depending on housing—some units use non-contact visits behind glass, especially for disciplinary situations. Some visits may be handled through lobby tablets or a third-party video service for onsite or remote visits, so follow the facility's instructions closely and complete all visitor paperwork.

Staying in touch with someone at Grant County Corrections usually starts with phone service. Adults in custody can place collect calls or use prepaid phone cards purchased at the Sheriff's office. Depending on what the facility has enabled, communication may also include video visits, tablet messaging, or other electronic options. Most services run through third-party vendors, and they aren't private—calls and electronic communications may be monitored or screened. To receive calls or set up video visits, you'll typically need to create an account with the approved vendor and validate your phone number first. The person in custody initiates calls, while the vendor handles billing (collect or debit) and lets family or friends add funds through vendor channels or prepaid products.

Grant County Corrections maintains a commissary where adults in custody can buy items at prices with a nominal markup. Since recreation services aren't taxpayer-funded, the facility allows you to mail money or bring it in to deposit to an inmate's account for commissary and recreation. For bail, the jail accepts PayPal, cash, cashier's checks, and money orders—bail can be posted by the arrestee or a third party. PayPal payments, cashier's checks, and money orders are verified through the issuing entity when possible before release, which can affect timing. To add funds: confirm which account you're funding, use an accepted method (mail, lobby/vendor options, or in person where allowed), include the inmate's name and ID, and bring valid photo ID if depositing in person or at a kiosk.
