Jackson Parish Jail Inmate Bail & Bonds

Check our Jackson Parish inmate search first. The sheriff's list shows the booking date and often the bond type and amount. Then call the jail at 318-395-6400 to confirm the total and ask about any hold.

LaSalle Corrections, a private company, owns and operates it under a contract with the sheriff's office. It is a separate place from the sheriff's jail, at 327 Industrial Drive, Jonesboro, LA 71251, phone 318-259-8799. Under an agreement between the parish and ICE, it holds people in immigration custody along with some other detainees. Parish arrests go to the Gansville Road jail, and the sheriff still handles arrests, warrants and court papers.

No later than 72 hours after booking, skipping Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, under Article 230.1. Should that clock run out, release on a signature is owed.

• A commercial bond written by a licensed bail agent
• A property bond backed by real estate
• An unsecured bond signed by someone else
• A personal bond, based only on the person's word
• A cash deposit for the full amount

The list comes from Article 321. Judges cannot use the unsecured options for crimes of violence.

Bills, money orders, cashier's checks and certified checks all work, and so do U.S. or state bonds, per Article 326. Plan on a personal check being turned down.

No more than 12 percent of the bond, with $120 as the lowest fee (R.S. 22:1443). That money pays for the agent's work, so it does not come back.

The Jackson Parish Clerk of Court gets mail at P.O. Box 730, Jonesboro, LA 71251, and its phone is 318-259-2424. The clerk can confirm bond paperwork and court dates.

Once the case wraps up with no skipped dates, the deposit is mailed back by the clerk, after any court-ordered fines or costs come out. For adding funds to a jail account, read our money guide.

Missing court is serious, because a bench warrant can be signed and the bond forfeited. Co-signers may then owe the bail agent. Under Article 312, a history of skipped dates can raise later bail.

Yes. Under Act 314 of 2024, Louisiana agencies must honor ICE detainers. With a detainer, ICE may hold someone for up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released. Check the ICE locator after that. Federal cases from Jackson Parish go to Monroe.
