How to Contact an Inmate at Grant Parish Detention Center, LA (LA)
Trying to stay in touch with someone at Grant Parish Detention Center? Your two main options are scheduled video visitation and mail. Here's how each works and the fastest way to get set up.
Parish offender visitation runs Wednesday and Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The facility breaks at 11:00 for lunch, so don't try to schedule a visit during that window.
DOC offender visitation is Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Same rule applies: 11:00 is blocked off for lunch.
All visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Call 318-627-3724 to book yours.
Note: All visits are conducted through a video monitoring system and may be monitored or recorded.
- ✓ No cell phones are allowed in the visitation room.
- ✓ Each monitor is limited to two (2) visitors.
- ✓ No food or drinks are allowed in the visitation room.
Personal mail doesn't go directly to the jail. Instead, Grant Parish offender mail routes through a central mail facility (JailATM.com), where it's opened, scanned, and emailed to the offender.
Legal mail works differently. It must be sent directly to the detention facility and has to come from a legally approved entity, such as a licensed attorney of record.
If you need to handle release-related paperwork, bonding transactions are completed at the Grant Parish Detention Facility. The facility accepts cash bonds, surety bonds, and property bonds.
- Figure out whether they are a parish offender or a DOC offender. If you are not sure, ask when you call to schedule.
- Pick a visitation day and time that matches their status. Parish offender visitation is Wednesday and Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (11:00 excluded for lunch). DOC offender visitation is Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (11:00 excluded for lunch).
- Call to pre-schedule at least 24 hours ahead. Use 318-627-3724 and set the visit before you travel.
- ✓ Expect the visit to be conducted under video monitoring, and understand it may be monitored and/or recorded.
- ✓ Leave cell phones out of the visitation room.
- ✓ Plan for no more than two (2) visitors per monitor.
- ✓ Do not bring food or drinks into the visitation room.
- ✓ For regular mail, address it to JailATM.com at the Monroe address so it goes through the central processing system (opened, scanned, then emailed to the offender).
- ✓ For legal mail, send it directly to the detention facility.
- ✓ Make sure legal mail is sent by a legally approved entity (for example, a licensed attorney of record).
You can post bond directly at the Grant Parish Detention Facility. Cash, surety, and property bonds are all handled there.
