• Whether the defendant is employed and what they can afford.
• Ties to the community, including family and how long they’ve lived there.
• The severity of the current charge.
• Past offenses and criminal record.

Although the Aurora City Detention Center has a license for 210 inmates, it frequently has to accommodate many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Colorado have a monthly turnover of at least 35-40%, another 25-30% every 90 days, another 15-20% every six months, and about 8-9% of inmates who stay between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than a year usually face serious charges like rape or murder. Those cases take time to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Adams County facilities much longer.
Approximately 38,140 offenders are arrested and detained by Adams County law enforcement agencies every year.
