The sheriff's headquarters is at 204 Burt Boulevard, Benton, LA 71006, phone 318-965-2203.

1. Which jail is the person in?
Most adults booked by the sheriff go to the maximum security building. Its neighbor across the road, the Medium Security Facility at 2984 Old Plain Dealing Road, answers at 318-326-5927. Arrests by Bossier City police may first go to the city jail on Benton Road, which the police department runs.
↑ Back to the question list2. How can I find the bail?
The sheriff posts an online custody list, and staff at 318-326-4405 can confirm the amount. A judge's later ruling can change it, so double-check on the day you pay. The sheriff's site also offers an E-Bonds option.
↑ Back to the question list3. How soon is the first court hearing?
Louisiana law, Article 230.1, sets a 72-hour limit for a jailed person's first court hearing; Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are not counted. A lawyer is named for anyone who cannot pay. Without that hearing on time, the person is let out on a promise to return.
↑ Back to the question list4. What bond types can a judge set?
Article 321 names a commercial surety bond, a bond tied to real estate, a personal surety who puts up nothing, release on recognizance, and cash for the full amount. The two with no security may not be used for violent crimes or gun felonies.
↑ Back to the question list5. Which payments are accepted as cash?
Under Article 326, cash means bills, money orders, certified checks, cashier's checks or government bonds. Ask jail staff which of them they will take before you make the drive to Plain Dealing.
↑ Back to the question list6. How much do bail companies charge?
Their premium tops out at 12 percent of the bond or $120, whichever is more, under R.S. 22:1443. It is the company's fee and stays with it.
↑ Back to the question list7. Where is the Clerk of Court?
The Bossier Parish Clerk of Court is on the 3rd floor of the courthouse at 204 Burt Boulevard, Benton, LA 71006. You can call it at 318-965-2336, and its mailing address is P.O. Box 430, Benton, LA 71006.
↑ Back to the question list8. How is a cash bond refunded?
After the last ruling, if the accused came to every hearing, the court lets the clerk return it. Court costs and any fine can be kept back from it. For jail account deposits, see our money guide.
↑ Back to the question list9. What does missing court mean for the bond?
The judge may sign a warrant, and forfeiture can begin. If a company wrote the bond, it may pursue the person who cosigned. Article 312 lets courts deny bail later to some who did not show.
↑ Back to the question list10. Does bail end an immigration hold?
No. Detainers from ICE, federal agencies or other parishes stay in force after parish bail is posted. At ICE's request, a jail may hold someone up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released. Transfers show up on the ICE locator.
↑ Back to the question list11. What if the sheriff's office can't help?
Call the sheriff at 318-965-2203. The person might also be held in a neighboring parish, such as Bienville Parish at 318-263-2215.
↑ Back to the question list12. Can a 17-year-old post bail?
They can, for crimes on or after April 19, 2024. Children under 17 go through juvenile court.
