A federal case out of Chaffee County won't remain in the county courts. Court dates take place at Colorado Springs' federal court building, 212 North Wahsatch Avenue, Suite 300, Colorado Springs, CO 80903; the court clerk answers at 719-471-3387. Right after arrest, the person has a first hearing with a U.S. magistrate judge.

There is no fixed bail list. Instead, a federal judge schedules a short detention hearing to decide if the arrested person charged goes home until trial and on what terms. Meanwhile, most federal defendants stay in a jail in the area by agreement with the Marshals Service. For which jail, contact the Marshals Service at 719-633-2037. If federal prison time is given, the Bureau of Prisons, or BOP, chooses where they serve, and its BOP inmate locator says which prison.

1. As part of booking, the fingerprints get run through federal databases that ICE can see.

2. When ICE seeks custody, it lodges a detainer on Form I-247A.

3. The form calls for 48 added hours at most past the planned release. The 48 hours run nonstop, counting weekends and holidays.

4. Colorado's statute, C.R.S. 24-76.6-102, bars a jail from keeping someone past release just because ICE asked. So Chaffee County frees the one held on schedule except when a warrant or court order is in place.

5. ICE officers can arrive as the defendant leaves and take the defendant. If they do not, the detained person simply leaves.

Chaffee doesn't put a jail roster on the web, so you won't find Chaffee mugshots there. VINELink (Chaffee County) lists status without photos. News media asking for a mugshot that isn't online may contact the Chaffee County sheriff's office at 719-539-2596.

An ICE booking photo must be sought on ICE's FOIA request site, and ICE decides whether to approve it.

Federal mugshots are not handed to ordinary people and the media. One exception applies: the U.S. Marshals Service, holder of federal mugshots, can make public one for a wanted fugitive, if it helps capture the person or alert individuals, or for an urgent risk to public safety.
