Grant Parish Sheriff Steven McCain recently realized his year-long project with the opening of the Grant Parish Detention Center's new chapel. The chapel provides inmates with a dedicated space for worship.
To address camera failures and improve surveillance quality, the Grant Parish Sheriff's Office implemented Axis fixed cameras with 360-degree views. This solution allows for better monitoring and enhanced security within the facility. The cameras have quickly identified issues and provided the sheriff, warden, and guards with a safe and secure environment. PTZ capabilities enable zooming in on specific activities when necessary.

What happens during booking at Grant Parish Detention Facility?
After arrest, individuals are processed at Grant Parish Detention Facility, where they undergo a series of steps that determine their charges and whether they’ll be released on their own recognizance, allowed to post bail, or held until their court date.
The first rule for anyone arrested is to remain silent. Anything they say can be used in court, so it’s best to speak only to an attorney about the incident.
Here are the typical stages of the booking process at Grant Parish Detention Facility:
- Verifying the person’s identity.
- Taking mugshots.
- Questions regarding medical and mental health history, along with drug and gang affiliations.
- Collecting DNA if necessary.
- Conducting a physical search.
- Confiscating personal belongings.
- Providing a phone call.
If you need details about an offender’s bail or bond, contact the facility at 318-627-3224.
How do you post bail in Grant Parish?
If someone is taken to Grant Parish Detention Facility in Colfax for booking, the next steps depend on their case:
1. The individual may be released without bail, under a promise to appear at a court hearing.
2. They could be held in custody until their trial.
3. They may post a bail or bond for release. To find out the exact bail amount, call 318-627-3224.
Bail payments can be handled in various ways.
- Cash bonds are paid in full, normally at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order, and card payments are often possible through a kiosk in the lobby or an online vendor for a convenience fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number ready, and reach the jail at 318-627-3224.
- Licensed bail bond agents in Grant Parish can facilitate payment.
- Property bonds are available in many courts: an owner may pledge land or a home after proving clear title and equity of at least the bond amount (often double) with the deed and a recent tax or appraisal figure, and the court that set bail decides whether to accept it.

There are two options for putting money on an inmate's books:
Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Grant Parish Detention Facility uses CommissaryDeposit.com to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.
Choice 2 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
**Call 318-627-3224 first to ask Grant Parish Detention Facility if this option is still available.
