Douglas County Detention Center

Want the details on an inmate at the Douglas County Detention Center? The Official Jail Inmate Roster lists their charges, bond, when they can have visitors, and their mugshot.

Douglas County Detention Center Inmate Search

Warrant searches for Douglas County and the rest of Colorado can start with Crimewatch. If you need details about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, use the official Colorado court dockets. Because not all agencies post warrants on Crimewatch, an empty search doesn’t rule out a warrant.

In Douglas County and statewide, most criminal defendants charged with non-capital offenses can get reasonable bail, while petty and traffic offenses usually require no monetary bail. Colorado statutes allow judges to set bail after considering factors like:

• The defendant’s employment and financial resources.
• How long they’ve lived in the area and whether they have family there.
• How serious the charged offense is.
• Any prior criminal record or past offenses.

To learn an inmate’s bail amount, call the Douglas County Detention Center at 303-660-7550. Each Colorado judicial district sets its own bond schedule, and you can see a sample bond schedule to get a sense of typical amounts for a given charge. Bail can be posted in cash, with a surety bond, or with a property bond, and some offenders are released on personal recognizance.

The Douglas County Detention Center is licensed for 600 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. 35-40% or more of the inmate population at most city and county jails in Colorado 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 Douglas County facilities much longer.

Douglas County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 16,940 offenders every year.

You can also see photos of the jail from our collection, gathered over the years.

How do you pay bail for someone who has been arrested in Douglas County?

When an offender is arrested and brought to the Douglas County Detention Center in Castle Rock for booking, there are several outcomes after being processed.

1. The offender will be released with no bail, promising to return on a specific date to appear before a judge in either Municipal or Douglas County Court.
2. The offender is ordered to remain in jail until their court date.
3. The offender is allowed to be released after paying a specified bond or bail.  Call 303-660-7550 to get the exact amount.

The payment of an offender's bail or bond can take many shapes.

• A cash bond is paid in full at the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court, usually by cash, cashier's check or money order, and many jails also take debit or credit cards through a lobby kiosk or an online bond vendor for an added fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and the jail's number is 303-660-7550.
• It can be paid using a bail company, licensed to do business in Douglas County.
• Many courts accept land or a home as bond collateral; the owner shows clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, often double, using a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves the property.
