Conejos County Jail Inmate Search
Do you have an outstanding warrant in Conejos County or anywhere in Colorado? Need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Crimewatch is a good place to start for warrants, and the official Colorado docket search covers court cases. Because not all agencies post warrants on Crimewatch, an empty search doesn’t rule out a warrant.
Most criminal defendants charged with non-capital offenses in Conejos County and throughout Colorado are eligible for reasonable bail. If the charge is a petty crime or traffic offense, monetary bail typically isn’t required. Colorado statutes direct judges to consider:
• The defendant’s finances and job.
• Family ties and length of time living in the area.
• The nature and severity of the offense.
• Prior criminal record.
Need an inmate’s bail amount? Call the Conejos County Jail at 719-376-6778. A sample Colorado bond schedule shows typical amounts by charge, though schedules vary by judicial district. The county accepts cash, surety, or property bonds, or may release the offender on personal recognizance.
The Conejos County Jail is licensed for 100 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, at least 35-40% of the inmate population turns over monthly, 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 twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Conejos County facilities much longer.
Each year, Conejos County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 2,000 offenders.
