How do I post bond in Fremont County?

  • Who sets bail: jail staff in Cañon City can't pick the figure; a judge does.
  • Prompt hearing: in most cases, the court reviews bond within 48 hours after the inmate is booked into the Cañon City jail.
  • Personal recognizance: sometimes the judge lets your loved one go with just a signed promise to show up.
  • Full payment: someone covers the entire amount directly.
  • Fees for bonding agents top out near 15% ($50 minimum).
  • Using land: property in Colorado can secure the bond when the equity equals 1.5 times that amount.
  • Release rules: a judge may order scheduled reporting or no contact with any victim.
  • Still held? An outside warrant may block the release.
  • Not showing up: an arrest warrant can follow; the bond is lost.
  • Exact figures: jail staff at 719-276-5555 can read you the bond amount.

Full steps for paying a bond are on the Fremont County bail page.

Where do federal cases from Fremont County go?

A federal arrest out of Fremont County moves out of the state court system. Federal court for this case meets in Colorado Springs, 212 North Wahsatch Avenue, Suite 300, Colorado Springs, CO 80903, and its clerk is at 719-471-3387. Shortly after booking, the defendant you know meets a U.S. magistrate judge for a first court hearing.

No set bail list exists. So the magistrate judge calls a detention hearing to decide if your family member walks out pending trial and under what limits. Meanwhile, lots of federal defendants are housed in a jail in the area that rents beds to the Marshals Service. To learn which jail, ring the Marshals on 719-633-2037. If prison time is ordered, the BOP, the federal prison system, takes charge, and its BOP inmate locator displays where the person was sent.

How does an ICE detainer work in Fremont County?

1. During booking, prints go to federal databases that ICE checks.

2. If ICE is interested, the agency files a hold through Form I-247A to the Fremont jail.

3. The detainer asks for up to another 48 hours past the time they'd be freed. The clock runs hour by hour; holidays and weekends aren't skipped.

4. Colorado's law, C.R.S. 24-76.6-102, states plainly that jails can't hold a person beyond release just because ICE asked. So Fremont County frees the arrested person on time unless a warrant or court order applies.

5. ICE officers may arrive when release happens and take custody. If not, the arrested person simply leaves.

The ICE locator checks ICE custody. Search by registration number, or by name, birthday and home country.

ICE's website shows the Aurora contract facility at 3130 North Oakland Street, Aurora, CO 80010, phone 303-361-6612.

Questions for ICE? Try the Centennial field office at 12445 East Caley Avenue, Centennial, CO 80111 or 720-873-2899.

What happens after a Fremont County state prison sentence?

A prison sentence starts after some time at county jail until CDOC takes over. During reception, the state screens each new prisoner on risk level, health and other needs.

From there, CDOC assigns your relative to a prison matching the rating. The DOC offender search displays their prison; our state prison page has contact details.

Back to questions ↑

Will Fremont County mugshots show up online?

There are no Fremont mugshots online because Fremont has no public roster. Use Fremont on VINELink to check custody; it has no photos. News media asking for a mugshot that is not posted can contact the Fremont County sheriff's office on 719-276-5555.

Any ICE mugshot may only be sought through ICE's records request page, after which ICE needs to approve it.

Federal mugshots are not shared with the public and journalists. The single exception: the U.S. Marshals Service, which handles federal booking photos, might share one when someone is an escapee, if it helps track them down or put the public on notice, as well as for an immediate public threat.
