After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Madison Parish Detention Center for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
These are the steps of booking someone into the Madison Parish Detention Center:
Booking can take as little as an hour, or up to 48 hours on a busy weekend or holiday evening, or if the offender is violent, wasted or generally uncooperative. If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 318-574-0584.
When an offender is arrested and brought to the Madison Parish Detention Center in Tallulah for booking, there are several outcomes after being processed.
1. The offender will be released with no bail, promising to return on a specific date to appear before a judge in either Municipal or Madison Parish Court.
2. The offender is ordered to remain in jail until their court date.
3. The offender is allowed to be released after paying a specified bond or bail. Call 318-574-0584 to get the exact amount.
The payment of an offender's bail or bond can take many shapes.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Madison Parish Detention Center?
Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a self-serve kiosk for Correct Solutions Group in the lobby that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Madison Parish Detention Center uses a private company called Correct Solutions Group 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.
Option 3 - Make an Inmate Deposit over the Phone
Correct Solutions Group will accept deposits over the phone with a debit or credit card. Call 877-618-3516.
To do this you will need the inmate's offender # (inmate ID #) and full legal name.
