To find out whether you have a warrant in Alamosa County or anywhere in Colorado, begin with Crimewatch. For court case details involving you, a friend, or a relative, the official Colorado source is the most reliable option. Crimewatch only lists warrants from agencies that post there, so it isn’t a complete record of every active warrant.

In Colorado, including Alamosa County, the law makes reasonable bail available to most defendants facing non-capital charges, and those charged with petty or traffic offenses usually have no monetary bail. Judges set bail after reviewing factors like:

• The defendant’s financial situation and whether they are employed.
• Whether they’ve lived in the area for a while or have family nearby.
• The severity of the offense they are charged with.
• Their prior criminal record and past offenses.

To get an inmate’s bail, call the Alamosa County Jail at 719-589-6608. If you know what they were arrested for, a sample Colorado bond schedule can help you estimate the amount, since each judicial district publishes its own. Cash, surety bonds, and property bonds are accepted, and personal recognizance release is an option.

The Alamosa County Jail is licensed to hold 125 inmates at a time, but it often has to make room for more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Colorado, at least 35-40% of the inmate population turns over each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than a year are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take so long to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county on such charges remain in custody at one of the Alamosa County facilities much longer.

Each year, Alamosa County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 2,500 offenders.

We also have a collection of photos of the Alamosa County Jail, gathered over the years.
