Grant County Jail (Canyon City): Quick Facts, Contacts, and What to Expect
Trying to visit, send mail, or set up phone contact at Grant County Jail? A few basics will save you time. Here's a quick snapshot of what to expect and where to confirm current rules.
Grant County Jail sits in Canyon City, Oregon - the county seat. Need to confirm procedures or get paperwork sorted before making plans? Contact the Grant County Sheriff's Office at 201 S Humbolt Street Suite 280, Canyon City, OR 97820.
This is a smaller, newer facility by county-jail standards. Built in 1997, it holds up to 41 beds, plus 7 temporary beds when needed.
Day to day, the population stays well below capacity - the jail reports an average of around twenty adults in custody. That smaller scale can affect the pace of services and overall availability compared to larger facilities.
Visiting is by appointment only. Call the Sheriff's Office first to confirm the scheduling process and find out when you can be seen.
Mail is another way to stay connected. Adults in custody can send and receive letters through U.S. Mail - a reliable option when phone time is limited.
- ✓ Collect phone calls are available for adults in custody
- ✓ Prepaid phone cards can be purchased at the Sheriff’s Office (confirm the current process before you buy)
The jail runs a commissary where you can purchase items at a small markup. That commissary revenue helps fund programs and recreation for adults in custody.
Recreation is part of daily life here, with options that include basketball, library access, ping pong, television, and weights.
Note: Grant County Jail does not provide a work release program, so don’t assume work-release placement will be available through this facility.
- Contact the Sheriff’s Office - Use 201 S Humbolt Street Suite 280, Canyon City, OR 97820 to request forms or confirm current procedures.
- Confirm how to schedule an appointment visit - Visits are by appointment, so verify the steps before you travel.
- Ask how phone cards are handled right now - Prepaid phone cards are purchased at the Sheriff’s Office; confirm what you need to do (and any current requirements) before you buy.
Before sending anything, check the jail's mail rules and how to address the envelope. Adults in custody can use U.S. Mail, but small details - formatting, allowed contents - can mean the difference between delivery and a returned letter.
