Sending Legal, Official, or Transactional Documents to Grant Parish Detention Center — Which Address to Use

Legal mail must go directly to Grant Parish Detention Facility - not the JailATM.com processing address. It also has to come from a licensed attorney of record. Otherwise, it won't be treated as legal mail.

Note: Never send legal mail through JailATM.com. It must go directly to the detention facility from a licensed attorney of record.

Official or business documents should go straight to the facility's Business Office in Colfax. Format the address like this so staff can match it to the right person: ATTN: Business Office - Offender Name / Offender Number Grant Parish Detention Facility 485 Richardson Drive Colfax, LA 71417

Official documents aren't handed to the offender like regular mail. They go to the Business Office and are held on file. Here's the important part: if you include a personal note in the same envelope, that correspondence gets destroyed. Keep official paperwork and personal messages completely separate.

Heads up: Any personal letter included with official documents will be destroyed. Send official paperwork by itself.

Sending Legal, Official, or Transactional Documents to Grant Parish Detention Center — Which Address to Use

Need an offender to sign an original document - like endorsing a check or signing over a vehicle title? Send it to the Business Office at 485 Richardson Drive in Colfax using the same ATTN: Business Office format. Staff will arrange a time for the offender to review and sign. The offender won't keep the original documents afterward.

  • Address originals to: ATTN: Business Office - Offender Name / Offender Number, Grant Parish Detention Facility, 485 Richardson Drive, Colfax, LA 71417
  • Expect the Business Office/designee to coordinate a time for the offender to review and sign the originals
  • Plan for the original paperwork to be handled through the Business Office process (offenders won’t be permitted to keep original documentation sent this way)
  • Don’t include personal letters or general correspondence in the same envelope - those will be destroyed

Regular mail goes through JailATM.com, not directly to the detention center. At their central facility, mail is opened, scanned, and emailed to the offender. For general correspondence, use this address: JailATM.com Grant Parish Detention Center Offender Name / Number 2252 Tower Drive Suite 108-251 Monroe, LA 71201

The Monroe address (JailATM.com) is only for general correspondence. Official paperwork - checks, passports, birth certificates, Social Security cards - goes to the Business Office in Colfax. Legal mail must go directly to the detention facility from a licensed attorney of record.

Quick rule: JailATM.com in Monroe = general mail. Colfax Business Office = official or transactional originals. Legal mail = directly to the detention facility from a licensed attorney of record.
