What if someone in Archuleta County faces federal charges?

A federal arrest that starts in Archuleta County does not go through the local courts. Hearings happen inside Durango's La Plata County Courthouse (federal courtroom), 1060 East 2nd Avenue, Suite 150, Durango, CO 81301, and the clerk's office answers at 970-385-9564. Shortly past the arrest, the arrested person stands before a U.S. magistrate judge for a first appearance.

Federal cases don't use a bail grid. Instead, the court calls a detention hearing to figure out if the defendant stays locked up while waiting for trial and under what limits. In the meantime, lots of federal prisoners sit in a county jail partnered with the U.S. Marshals. To find out their location, contact the Marshals Service at 970-317-6117. Once a court imposes prison time, the BOP (Bureau of Prisons) picks the prison, and its BOP inmate locator lists which prison.

What should families know about a Archuleta County ICE hold?

First: When someone is booked, fingerprints go to national databases ICE has access to.

Next: When ICE is interested, the agency sends an immigration detainer with Form I-247A.

Then: The I-247A requests 48 added hours at most beyond when the detained person would go free. The clock runs nonstop, counting weekends and holidays.

But: Colorado's statute, C.R.S. 24-76.6-102, states plainly that jails may not hold anyone beyond release just because ICE made a request. So Archuleta County lets the detained person go at the normal time unless a court order calls for more time.

Finally: ICE agents may arrive as the person leaves to take custody. When they don't, the person walks out.

Search for people in ICE custody through the online locator; enter the A-number with their home country.

One center on ice.gov is the Aurora detention center in Aurora: 3130 North Oakland Street, Aurora, CO 80010. Its listed info line is 303-361-6612, weekdays 8 to 4; no one inside can get incoming calls.

The Denver field office is at 12445 East Caley Avenue, Centennial, CO 80111. Call 720-873-2899.

When is someone moved from Archuleta County to state prison?

A prison sentence begins after a wait at the local jail until CDOC takes over. Reception at CDOC sets the custody level; it can take weeks.

After that, they move to a facility that fits that rating. Try the CDOC lookup, and the prison directory shows each prison's address.

Archuleta County mugshots: can I view them online?

See the Archuleta jail search for the defendant; Archuleta may not post mugshots there. Reporters seeking a mugshot not shown publicly can request it from the Archuleta County sheriff's office (via the facility line) on 970-264-8474.

For a photo ICE took, ask through ICE's FOIA site, after which ICE must give its approval.

Federal mugshots are not handed to the public and the press. One exception applies: the Marshals Service, which takes federal booking photos, is allowed to release a photo for someone on the run, if it would help bring them in or caution the public, or for an immediate public safety threat.
