Crowley County Detention Facility Inmate Search
If you’re worried about a warrant in Crowley County or anywhere in Colorado, Crimewatch is a good place to begin your search. For court case information, the official Colorado source has the details. Note that Crimewatch only shows warrants that participating agencies choose to post, so it may not list every active warrant.
Every court in Colorado, including those in Crowley County, treats most defendants charged with non-capital crimes as eligible for reasonable bail. Petty crimes and traffic offenses generally don’t require monetary bail. Judges base the bail amount on several factors:
• 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 easiest way to learn an offender’s bail at the Crowley County Detention Facility is to call 719-267-5555. For a general sense of amounts, you can review a sample Colorado bond schedule, but each judicial district has its own. The county takes cash, surety bonds, and property bonds, and can also release an offender on personal recognizance.
The Crowley County Detention Facility is licensed for 25 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Colorado, 35-40% or more of the inmate population turns over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with about 8-9% staying six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Crowley County facilities much longer.
Crowley County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 900 offenders every year.
