Garfield County Detention Facility Inmate Search

Do you have a warrant for your arrest in Garfield County or anywhere else in Colorado? Need details about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Crimewatch is a good place to start a warrant search, and for court case information, we use the official Colorado docket search. Note that Crimewatch only shows warrants that participating agencies choose to post, so it may not list every active warrant.

In Garfield County and every other court in Colorado, most criminal defendants charged with a non-capital offense are eligible for reasonable bail, while people charged with a petty crime or traffic offense typically have no monetary bail required. Under Colorado statutes, judges set bail by looking at several factors:

• The defendant’s financial situation and whether they are employed.
• Whether they’ve lived in the area for a while or have family nearby.
• The severity of the offense they are charged with.
• Their prior criminal record and past offenses.

The easiest way to find out an inmate’s bail at the Garfield County Detention Facility is to call the jail at 970-945-1377. If you know the charge, you can also review a sample Colorado bond schedule to get an idea of typical amounts, since each judicial district sets its own. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond, or can release an offender on personal recognizance.

The Garfield County Detention Facility is licensed for 199 inmates at any given time, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Colorado, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, another 15-20% every six months, and approximately 8-9% remain in custody between six and 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 stay at one of the Garfield County facilities much longer.

Approximately 5,380 offenders are arrested and detained each year by Garfield County law enforcement agencies.

Steps to pay bail in Garfield County

After an arrest, individuals are brought to Garfield County Detention Facility in Glenwood Springs for processing. Following this, three possible outcomes exist:

1. The individual may be released without posting bail, with a promise to appear in court.
2. The individual could be held in jail until their court date.
3. Bail or bond can be posted for release; for more information, contact 970-945-1377.

Bail payment can be handled through various means.

• Pay a cash bond in full at the bonding window inside the jail or at the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order; a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor often takes debit and credit cards for an extra fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (the jail can be reached at 970-945-1377).
• Licensed bail bond agents in Garfield County are available for assistance.
• Land or a home can often serve as bond collateral: the owner provides a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value showing clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, commonly double, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.
