• Bond terms after a Cheyenne Wells arrest come from a court, not the deputies.
• Bond hearing timing: in most cases, Colorado law wants bond set about 48 hours after a person arrives at the jail.
• PR bond: no money is paid now; the person just promises to come to court.
• Cash: someone posts the total amount, and court costs may come out of the refund.
• Agent fees max out at 15% of the total ($50 minimum) — nonrefundable.
• Pledging a home: the court requires owner equity worth 1.5 times the bond; only Colorado property counts.
• Conditions: the judge can add rules like pretrial supervision or no contact with a victim.
• Still held? A hold from elsewhere may delay release.
• If they miss court: missing a court date may bring a warrant, and the bond can be kept by the court.
• Current bond: the jail at 719-767-5633 can give the bond amount.

A judge meets the person in custody first at an advisement hearing. State cases start at the Cheyenne County court, 51 South 1st Street, Cheyenne Wells, CO 80810. Court staff answers at 719-767-5649.

A federal case that starts in Cheyenne County moves out of the county court system. Court dates happen at the Alfred A. Arraj U.S. Courthouse in Denver, 901 19th Street, Denver, CO 80294 — its clerk answers at 303-844-3433. An initial hearing with a U.S. magistrate judge follows quickly.

There is no preset bail figure. Instead, the court sets a detention hearing to decide whether the charged person may go free before trial and with what rules. Meanwhile, most federal defendants sit in a nearby jail in a deal with the Marshals Service. For which jail, call the Marshals at 303-728-7800. After a court orders prison, the federal BOP decides which prison; the BOP inmate locator shows where they ended up.

Step 1: During booking, prints go to federal systems ICE has access to.

2. When ICE wants the detained person, the agency delivers an immigration hold through Form I-247A to the Cheyenne jail.

Step three: That form requests 48 extra hours at most past the set release. That time counts without a break, with holidays and weekends counted.

Step four: State law in Colorado, C.R.S. 24-76.6-102, makes clear county jails cannot hold anyone longer solely because ICE asked. That means Cheyenne County must free them on schedule except when a separate lawful hold says otherwise.

Step five: ICE agents can come when the one held leaves and take custody. If they do not, your relative is released.

Search for people in ICE custody with the ICE locator, entering the A-number and their home country.

A Colorado prison term starts after a wait in county jail for state pickup. At CDOC reception, people are screened and given a custody level.

The last step is a move to a prison matched to their level and needs. CDOC's offender search shows their prison; our Colorado state prisons page lists addresses.

Cheyenne mugshots show online only if Cheyenne posts a roster. Cheyenne on VINELink shows custody but not photos. News media seeking a mugshot not shown publicly can reach the Cheyenne County sheriff's office on 719-767-5633.

A mugshot from ICE must be requested through ICE's records request page; then ICE needs to approve it.

Federal jail photos are not given to outsiders or reporters. The single exception: the U.S. Marshals Service, the agency behind federal booking photos, can release one for a fugitive when it would help make the arrest or warn the community; it can also do so when there is an immediate threat to others.
