Denver Downtown Detention Center

Start your search for an inmate in the Denver Downtown Detention Center at the Official Jail Inmate Roster, which shows charges, bond, visitation eligibility, and mugshots.

Denver Downtown Detention Center Inmate Search

Do you suspect there’s a warrant for you in Denver County or anywhere else in Colorado? Try a search on Crimewatch. For details about a court case, the official Colorado court dockets are the place to look. Because not all agencies post warrants on Crimewatch, an empty search doesn’t rule out a warrant.

Most criminal defendants in Denver County who face non-capital charges are eligible for reasonable bail, as they are throughout Colorado. Petty crimes and traffic offenses typically require no monetary bail. Colorado statutes let judges set bail based on:

• 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.

Want to know an inmate’s bail? Call the Denver Downtown Detention Center at 720-913-3600. If you know the charge, a sample Colorado bond schedule can show typical amounts, though each judicial district sets its own. Cash, surety bonds, and property bonds are accepted, and offenders may also be released on personal recognizance.

The Denver Downtown Detention Center is licensed for 2000 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, the inmate population turns over like this:

• At least 35-40% turn over monthly
• Another 25-30% turn over every 90 days
• Another 15-20% turn over every six months
• About 8-9% stay between six and twelve months

Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take time to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Denver County facilities much longer.

Every year, Denver County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 83,700 offenders.

We’ve also gathered photos of the jail over the years that you can view.

Paying bail for someone in Denver County

After being arrested and booked into Denver Downtown Detention Center in Denver, the arrestee's situation will proceed in one of three ways:

1. They may be released without bail and required to attend a court hearing.
2. They may be held in custody until their court date.
3. Bail can be posted for their release; call 720-913-3600 for the exact bail amount.

There are multiple ways to pay bail.

• Cash bonds are paid in full at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, accepted as cash, cashier's check or money order, and many jails let you pay by card at a lobby kiosk or with an online bond vendor for a fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number when you go, and the jail is at 720-913-3600.
• Licensed bail bond agents in Denver County can facilitate the process.
• Many courts accept a home or land as collateral for bond, as long as the owner proves clear title and equity at least equal to the bond amount (often twice it) with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.
