For calls, video visits, or electronic messaging, you'll generally need to create a vendor account, add funds to a prepaid or friends-and-family balance, and use a compatible device with the required browser or app. Expect phone calls and electronic communications to be monitored, and keep in mind that incoming calls are commonly restricted.

At Grant Parish Detention Center, a cash bond means someone pays the full bond amount in cash. A surety bond is arranged through a bail bonding agency, which charges a fee for the service. Property bonds use land as collateral and require valuation steps with the parish Assessor and Clerk of Court. The assessed value multiplied by 10 must meet or exceed the bond amount. For adding money to an inmate account, deposit options commonly used across Louisiana facilities include online or app-based vendor portals, phone deposits, lobby kiosks, and mailed money orders. The exact methods and procedures vary by facility, so follow the facility or vendor instructions closely. Only mail money orders, never cash.
