Denver County Jail
Denver County Jail
Need information about an inmate? Call the 2000-bed Denver County Jail at 720-913-3600 any time, day or night, or look them up with the inmate search tool.
This jail is where people arrested in the county for misdemeanors and felonies are taken for booking and processing. Some are released after posting bond or on their own recognizance. Others are held until their trial is decided.
If convicted and sentenced to less than a year, an inmate serves the time here. A sentence longer than a year means a transfer to the Colorado State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Use this page to find the visitation schedule and policies, send money to an inmate, write a letter, set up inmate phone calls and voicemail, email or text, rent a tablet, post a bail bond, or buy commissary.
Save the booking number or jail ID once you have it, as it’s required for most correspondence. If the online roster doesn’t show it, call Denver County Jail at 720-913-3600.

Denver County Jail Inmate Search
Think you might have a warrant in Denver County or elsewhere in Colorado? Check Crimewatch. Need information about a court case involving you or someone close to you? We use the official Colorado docket search. Note that Crimewatch only shows warrants that participating agencies choose to post, so it may not list every active warrant.
Most people charged with a non-capital offense in Denver County and across Colorado are eligible for reasonable bail. Monetary bail is typically not required for petty crimes or traffic offenses. Under state law, judges consider several factors:
• Employment status and financial situation.
• Length of residence in the area and local family ties.
• The seriousness of the charge.
• Prior convictions and criminal history.
For the fastest answer on an inmate’s bail, call the Denver County Jail at 720-913-3600. You can also check a sample Colorado bond schedule for typical amounts, since each judicial district has its own schedule. This county accepts cash, surety, and property bonds, or may release an offender on personal recognizance.
While licensed for 2000 inmates, the Denver County Jail is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Colorado turn over at least 35-40% of their population monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder, and because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Denver County facilities much longer.
Denver County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain roughly 83,700 offenders each year.
We’ve also gathered photos of the jail over the years that you can view.

Denver County Jail operates around the clock and is fully staffed at all times, for questions regarding an inmate or a program they can be contacted at 720-913-3600. Throughout the building all staff are well trained, and the focus remains on safety, security, and preparing inmates for their reintegration into the community when they are released.

Within the county jail there is also substance abuse programming, including relapse prevention and yoga.
Using direct supervision in the housing units also provides an opportunity for inmates to witness and engage in positive social interactions, to develop working relationships with those they are surrounded by each day, and it reduces negative incidents and provides a fast reaction time to anything that may arise.
Fresh bread is baked each week, and all meals are healthy and balanced, cooked onsite and provided are three meals each day. Special diets for medical or religious reasons are accommodated.

What should you know about the booking process at Denver County Jail?
Once arrested, the person is taken to Denver County Jail for booking, a process that confirms identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released on their own recognizance, posted for bail, or held until court.
Staying silent is key during this process, as anything spoken can be used as evidence in court. It’s best to wait for legal counsel before responding to questions.
Steps involved in booking at Denver County Jail include:
- Confirming identity.
- Taking mugshots for record.
- Medical, mental health, and substance history questioning.
- DNA collection if applicable.
- Comprehensive physical search.
- Seizing personal property.
- Access to a free phone call.
To check on an offender’s bond amount, contact Denver County Jail at 720-913-3600.
Steps to pay bail in Denver County
After an arrest, individuals are brought to Denver County Jail in Denver for processing. Following this, three possible outcomes exist:
1. The individual may be released without posting bail, with a promise to appear in court.
2. The individual could be held in jail until their court date.
3. Bail or bond can be posted for release; for more information, contact 720-913-3600.
Bail payment can be handled through various means.
- Pay a cash bond in full at the bonding window inside the jail or at the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order; a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor often takes debit and credit cards for an extra fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (the jail can be reached at 720-913-3600).
- Licensed bail bond agents in Denver County are available for assistance.
- Land or a home can often serve as bond collateral: the owner provides a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value showing clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, commonly double, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.
