How to Send Money to Grant Parish Detention Center, LA (LA)

You can complete bonding transactions at the Grant Parish Detention Facility. The facility accepts two common bond types: cash bonds (you pay the full bond amount in cash) and surety bonds (a bail bonding agency posts the bond through an insurance power). If you go through a bonding company, expect to pay a fee for their services. The detention facility does not recommend specific bonding companies and has no involvement in the financial arrangement between you and the agency.

Need to send an official or transactional document that requires the offender's signature (like checks or titles)? Mail it to the facility's Business Office. A staff member or designee will coordinate a time for the offender to review and sign. Originals are held on file afterward.

Regular offender mail doesn't go directly to the detention center. Instead, it's routed through a central processing service (JailATM.com), where it's opened, scanned, and emailed to the offender. For Grant Parish Detention Center, address mail exactly like this: JailATM.com, Grant Parish Detention Center, Offender Name / Number, 2252 Tower Drive Suite 108-251, Monroe, LA 71201.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Decide whether you are posting a cash bond (full bond amount in cash) or using a surety bond through a bail bonding agency.
• ✓ If you use a bonding agency, plan for their fee. The detention facility does not recommend companies and does not handle the financial arrangement between you and the bonding company.
• ✓ If you are completing the bond transaction at the Grant Parish Detention Facility, confirm what you need to bring and how the facility is currently handling bond payments before you go.

• ✓ Mail signature-required documents (checks, titles, and similar transactional items) to: ATTN: Business Office - Offender Name / Offender Number, Grant Parish Detention Facility, 485 Richardson Drive, Colfax, LA 71417. The Business Office coordinates review/signing and keeps originals on file.

• ✓ Send regular offender mail to the central processor (not the jail). Use: JailATM.com, Grant Parish Detention Center, Offender Name / Number, 2252 Tower Drive Suite 108-251, Monroe, LA 71201.

Before you try to post bond, confirm the facility's current process for the type of bond you're using. Ask whether they're accepting cash bonds in person and how surety bonds work when a bail bonding agency is involved. If you're using a bonding company, keep in mind that the company's fee is separate from the bond itself. The detention facility doesn't facilitate that financial arrangement, so get clear instructions from both the facility and the bonding agency on what paperwork or identification you'll need.

For transactional documents, call the Business Office before mailing anything time-sensitive or hard to replace. Ask whether they need specific labeling, whether you should include any forms, and whether they want originals right away (since originals sent for signature are kept on file).

Mail processing systems and address formats can change. Confirm the current mail processor and exact addressing requirements before you send anything. For Grant Parish Detention Center, offender mail is routed through JailATM.com, where it's opened, scanned, and emailed to the offender. Double-check that you're using the correct address and following any current restrictions on what can be sent.
