El Paso County Jail
El Paso County Jail
You can call the 1500-bed El Paso County Jail 24 hours a day for inmate information at 719-390-2000.
This facility processes offenders arrested for misdemeanors and felonies within the county. They are brought here for booking and processing. Depending on their charges, they may remain incarcerated until they are either bonded out, released on their own recognizance, or ordered to stay in custody until their trial is resolved.
You can use the inmate search tool to view the jail's roster and see who is currently in custody.
Inmates sentenced to less than one year will serve their time in this facility. Those with sentences longer than one year will be transferred to either the Colorado State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
On this page, you'll find information on inmate services, including the visitation schedule, funding an inmate's account, sending mail, receiving phone calls, voicemail, emailing and texting, tablet rentals, bail bond instructions, and commissary purchases.
It's useful to note and save the inmate's jail ID or booking number, which is often needed for sending mail or other communications. If you can't find it online, you can call El Paso County Jail at 719-390-2000 for assistance.

The El Paso County Jail posts its current inmates on the Official Jail Inmate Roster, where you can check an inmate’s charges, bond amount, when they can receive visits, and often their mugshot.

El Paso County Jail Inmate Search
Need to know if there’s a warrant for you in El Paso County or elsewhere in Colorado? Start your search at Crimewatch. For court case details involving you or someone you know, we rely on the official Colorado docket search. Since not all agencies post their warrants on Crimewatch, it’s possible for a warrant to exist even if it doesn’t appear there.
In El Paso County and throughout Colorado, most defendants charged with non-capital crimes are eligible for reasonable bail, and petty or traffic offenses usually don’t require monetary bail. When setting bail, judges consider factors such as:
• 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.
To check an inmate’s bail at the El Paso County Jail, call 719-390-2000. You can also review a sample Colorado bond schedule for typical amounts; judicial districts each publish their own. The county accepts payment in cash, by surety bond, or by property bond, and personal recognizance release is also possible.
The El Paso County Jail is licensed for 1500 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for more, especially on weekends. Of the inmates at most city and county jails in Colorado, at least 35-40% turn over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay incarcerated six to 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 El Paso County facilities much longer.
El Paso County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 30,800 offenders every year.
We also provide photos of the jail that we have collected over the years.
⇓ Learn more ⇓ Show lessEl Paso County provides the jail and detention services through the Sheriff’s Office, and they operate with three divisions within the department.
There is an Intake and Inmate Services that provide the intake and booking process and gather the information that provides the classification of the inmates as they arrive, while Inmate Services completes the classification and assigns housing units, and the Court Services who are located within the courthouse and provide all transportation to and from court dates.
Classification not only determines the security level of each inmate, but what housing unit will be the most effective for them and the safest for all inmates, as well as operating the housing program for those who are being released and a reintegration program.
All questions about inmates or classification, visitation or other topics can be directed to the facility at 719-390-2000.
Each of these units and departments will also manage the same activities throughout the work release program as well, operating as separate but joint locations.
Many programs to offer support and education to the inmates are in place including AA, NA, VA Assistance, a law library and book cart, a book club and meditation programs, as well as religious programs and other educational opportunities.
Along with these opportunities, it has been shown that there are lower rates of recidivism and better safety and mental health when inmates are in contact with their loved ones outside of the detention center, so El Paso County Jail provides mail services, phone calls, and visits for all inmates.
Mail is accepted only through the postal service with a full return address as well and should be addressed to the inmate mail program at:
Inmate's Full Name & Admit/Booking Number
El Paso County Sheriff’s Office
P.O. Box 247
Phoenix, MD 21131
... and inmates phone accounts can be funded online to allow inmates to make outgoing calls.
Visitation is through video currently, allowing those who can’t get to the jail to still visit with inmates, and they last for 30 minutes each visit.

What is the booking process for the El Paso County Jail?
After being arrested, the offender is brought to the El Paso County Jail for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
These are the steps of booking someone into the El Paso County Jail:
- Personal identification.
- Mugshot(s).
- Questions about medical history, mental health, drug and alcohol use, and gang affiliations.
- Possible DNA.
- Full body search.
- Property forfeiture.
- Free phone call.
If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 719-390-2000.
How do you pay bail for someone who has been arrested in El Paso County?
When an offender is arrested and brought to the El Paso County Jail in Colorado Springs 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 El Paso 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 719-390-2000 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 719-390-2000.
- It can be paid using a bail company, licensed to do business in El Paso 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.
