Grant Parish County Jail Roster
The current Grant Parish County jail roster is centered on the official Grant Parish Sheriff's Office app. App-store pages identify the app as official, and KALB reported in 2025 that the inmate search section showed a real-time list with arrests, transfers, and status changes. The sheriff homepage also promotes the free app. The research did not find a fully inspectable official desktop roster, and a legacy SheriffAlerts link returned a JavaScript or anti-bot challenge.
That means a careful Grant Parish County inmate records search should use the app first, then confirm by phone when the result is unclear. The jail information line is the Grant Parish Detention Facility at 318-627-3724. For documents that are not in the live roster, GPSO requires a written public-records request by U.S. Mail to the Custodian of Records. The sheriff's published public-records page says a request sent another way is not deemed received.
Search Grant Parish County Roster
Use the official app for a person believed to be newly booked or currently held at the Grant Parish Detention Facility. If the person was sentenced to state custody, moved to BOP custody, released, or transferred to another agency, the app may not be the right system. Keep a full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date if known, and the arresting agency if known.
- Open the Grant Parish Sheriff's Office app from the Apple App Store or Google Play listing promoted by GPSO.
- Use the inmate search or inmate list feature to look for the person in current jail custody.
- If no result appears, call 318-627-3724 and ask whether the person is in booking, housed, released, transferred, or held for another agency.
- If a booking record is needed after release, mail a written request to the GPSO Custodian of Records at P.O. Box 187, Colfax, LA 71417.
- If the person is under state, federal, or immigration custody, use VINELink, DPS&C phone lookup, BOP, or ICE ODLS instead.
The Grant Parish Sheriff's Office homepage shows the official app and main navigation used to reach corrections, public records, mail, bonding, and visitation information.
The app is the live roster channel, while the sheriff site pages supply the rules for mail, bond, visitation, and records requests.
Grant Parish County Search Fields
The app field labels could not be verified because the research environment could not install the app. The table therefore records only what the research confirmed. This is important for accuracy: fields such as booking number, bond amount, mugshot, housing unit, and charges may exist in the app, but they were not visible in the accessible source set.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not viewable in web research | App interface | Unknown | Official app and news sources confirm inmate search, but not field labels. |
| Inmate list | App feature | Not applicable | KALB reported a real-time list with arrests, transfers, and status changes. |
| Legacy SheriffAlerts roster | Web page | Unknown | Blocked by JavaScript or anti-bot challenge; no sample record verified. |
Grant Parish County Inmate Profiles
A profile field inventory could not be confirmed from the official app. For that reason, Grant Parish County inmate records should be read with a verified-field approach. The sheriff pages do verify the facility, service area, visitation categories, bond categories, and public-records process. BOP fields are verified separately through the federal locator, but those are not county jail roster fields.
| Field or status item | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Custody status changes | Reported app information about arrests, transfers, and status changes for current inmates. |
| Facility | Grant Parish Detention Facility is the local jail for qualifying Grant Parish arrests. |
| Arresting agency context | Local, state, wildlife, probation/parole, and federal arrests tied to Grant Parish may route to the jail. |
| Bond category | GPSO recognizes cash, surety, property, ROR, and fines/costs routes when authorized. |
| Visitation category | Parish offenders and DOC offenders have separate visit days. |
Grant Parish County Jail Lookup
Current local jail records are not the same as state prison records or federal prison records. A new arrest in Colfax, Montgomery, Dry Prong, Creola, Georgetown, Pollock, or elsewhere in Grant Parish may go to the detention facility in Colfax. A sentenced state prisoner may be located through LAVNS/VINELink or the DPS&C phone locator. A sentenced federal prisoner at FCI Pollock, USP Pollock, or the camp appears in BOP custody.
| Custody | Where to Look | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or local jail custody | GPSO app or jail phone | Current custody, bond, release, transfer, and visit status. |
| Sentenced state custody | Louisiana VINELink or 225-383-4580 | DPS&C housing, facility phone, and projected release date if applicable. |
| Sentenced federal custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal register number, location, release date, age, race, and sex. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | Immigration detention, separate from jail and prison custody. |
Grant Parish County Jail Facilities
The county jail records page should not merge the local jail with the federal prisons in Pollock. The Grant Parish Detention Facility is operated by GPSO and is the local booking and jail-information point. The Pollock facilities are BOP institutions and require the federal locator.

Booking Process in Grant Parish County
GPSO does not publish a detailed booking timeline, but the local custody path is clear. A person may be arrested by GPSO, municipal police, state police, probation/parole, wildlife agents, or federal law enforcement for an offense in Grant Parish. Unless released by citation or routed elsewhere, the person may be transported to the Grant Parish Detention Facility for intake.
Standard booking may include identity checks, property handling, medical or security screening, fingerprints, and a booking photo, but those exact steps were not itemized on GPSO pages. After intake, custody status is checked through the app or by calling the jail. Bond or release depends on the court, bond type, holds, and any state or federal detainer. Video arraignment may reduce transport for early court appearances.
For court charges after booking, use Grant Parish County court records after a jail arrest. The jail record and the formal court case are related, but they are not the same record.
Grant Parish County Visitation Rules
Grant Parish visitation is video-based and must be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead by calling 318-627-3724 or using the JailFunds scheduling link from GPSO. The sheriff's visitation page separates parish offenders from DOC offenders, which is a useful custody clue when reading a jail record. CorrectPay/Tyler's Grant Parish page says on-site visits are restricted to two visitors at a time.
| Custody group | Days | Hours | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parish offenders | Wednesday and Thursday | 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.; 11:00 excluded for lunch | Video visit, schedule at least 24 hours ahead. |
| DOC offenders | Saturday and Sunday | 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.; 11:00 excluded for lunch | Video visit, schedule at least 24 hours ahead. |
All visits are subject to monitoring or recording. GPSO rules bar cell phones, food, drinks, electronic devices, smart watches, tobacco, and vaping devices in the visitation room. Dress rules apply to all visitors.
Grant Parish County Mail and Funds
Grant Parish separates ordinary scanned mail from legal and business documents. Ordinary offender mail goes to JailATM in Monroe, not directly to the jail. Legal mail and business documents go to the jail at Richardson Drive, with the correct attention line and offender name or number when known. This distinction helps avoid delays or returned mail.
| Service | Provider or address | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary mail | JailATM.com Grant Parish Detention Center, 2252 Tower Drive, Suite 108-251, Monroe, LA 71201 | Use offender name and number if known; bulk mailings are denied. |
| Legal/business mail | Grant Parish Detention Facility, 485 Richardson Drive, Colfax, LA 71417 | Legal mail must come from approved legal entities or attorney of record. |
| Phone calling time | NCIC account link from GPSO | Confirm custody before adding funds. |
| Commissary funds | CommissaryDeposit / Forecomm link from GPSO | GPSO links this as the commissary-funds route. |
| Visit scheduling | JailFunds / CorrectPay video visitation | Schedule at least 24 hours ahead. |
Note: Confirm custody and facility status before sending money, scheduling a visit, or mailing documents.
Grant Parish County Records Requests
For older booking records, incident reports, or records not visible in the current app roster, use the GPSO public-records process. Written requests go by U.S. Mail to Grant Parish Sheriff's Office, Custodian of Records, P.O. Box 187, Colfax, Louisiana 71417. The requester should describe the record with as much detail as possible, such as name, date of arrest, booking date, arresting agency, and requested item.
GPSO says requesters must be at least 18 to inspect, copy, or reproduce public records. Inspection occurs at a place and time set by the custodian during normal working hours. Reasonable fees may apply, and the sheriff is not required to create a custom form or data format if it does not already exist. Medical records require a HIPAA form with the inmate's original signature.
Crash reports and initial incident reports may also be obtained in person at the Records Division in the Criminal Building at 220 Cedar Street, Colfax, LA 71417, or by calling 318-627-3261 for that records channel.
