Baca County Jail
Information about inmates at the 25-bed Baca County Jail is available by calling 719-523-4511 at any hour.
People arrested in the county for misdemeanors and felonies are brought here and go through booking and processing. If their charges require it, they remain in custody until they bond out, are released on their own recognizance, or are held until the conclusion of their trial.
Look up the facility’s current roster with the inmate search tool.
Inmates sentenced to less than one year serve their time at this jail. Longer sentences are served in the Colorado State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
This page provides guidance on the visitation schedule, funding an inmate’s account, mailing an inmate, phone calls, voicemail, email and text messaging, tablet rentals, bail bonds, and commissary.

Baca County Jail Inmate Search
Could you have a warrant in Baca County or somewhere else in Colorado? Crimewatch is a good place to start. If you need information about a court case, the official Colorado docket search is the source we use. Since not all agencies post their warrants on Crimewatch, it’s possible for a warrant to exist even if it doesn’t appear there.
Most defendants in Colorado, including in Baca County, who are charged with non-capital offenses are eligible for reasonable bail. Petty crimes and traffic offenses usually require no monetary bail at all. Judges consider several factors when setting bail:
• 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.
The quickest way to find out what an inmate’s bail is set at is to call the Baca County Jail at 719-523-4511. A sample Colorado bond schedule also lists typical amounts, although each judicial district sets its own. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds, or may release an offender on personal recognizance.
The Baca County Jail is licensed for 25 inmates at any given time, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Colorado, the inmate population turns over like this:
- At least 35-40% turn over monthly
- Another 25-30% turn over every 90 days
- Another 15-20% turn over every six months
- About 8-9% stay between six and twelve months
Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take time to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Baca County facilities much longer.
Every year, Baca County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 900 offenders.
