Fremont County Detention Center Inmate Search
To look for an arrest warrant in Fremont County or anywhere in Colorado, Crimewatch is a good starting point. For court case information involving you, a friend, or a relative, we use the official Colorado source. Note that Crimewatch only shows warrants that participating agencies choose to post, so it may not list every active warrant.
Courts in Fremont County and throughout Colorado generally allow reasonable bail for defendants charged with non-capital offenses, and petty crimes or traffic offenses usually have no monetary bail. To set the amount, 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.
Calling the Fremont County Detention Center at 719-276-5555 is the quickest way to find out an inmate’s bail. For a general idea of amounts by charge, see this sample Colorado bond schedule; each judicial district publishes its own. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds, and may also release an offender on personal recognizance.
The Fremont County Detention Center has a licensed capacity of 240 inmates, yet it is often forced to house many more, especially over the weekend. Most city and county jails in Colorado see at least 35-40% of their inmates turn over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, another 15-20% every six months, and about 8-9% remain between six and twelve months. Stays of more than a year usually involve serious charges such as rape or murder, and because preparing those cases for trial takes time, offenders arrested in this county can remain in one of the Fremont County facilities far longer.
Approximately 5,200 offenders are arrested and detained by Fremont County law enforcement agencies every year.
