Court dates appear on the state court dockets. A lawyer can help plan turning yourself in — call first.

• Setting the bond: a judge chooses the bond type and amount.
• Deadline: state law gives judges up to 48 hours from booking to review bail in most cases.
• Signature bond: the person signs a pledge to appear to court.
• Posting cash: bring every dollar in an accepted form, which can be refunded later.
• Fees for bonding agents max out near 15 percent with a $50 floor — nonrefundable.
• Using land: a Colorado property may back the bond if the owner's equity tops 150 percent of that amount.
• Conditions: the judge may add rules like reporting visits or no contact with a victim.
• Holds: a hold from another case can still block release, even after bond is paid.
• If they miss court: skipping a court date often brings a new warrant, and the bond may be forfeited.
• Before paying: call 970-945-1377 and ask about the posted bond.

Payment steps for posting bond are on the Garfield bond guide.

Any federal arrest from Garfield County doesn't go through the state courts. Hearings are held at Grand Junction's Wayne Aspinall Federal Building, 400 Rood Avenue, Suite 309, Grand Junction, CO 81501, and the clerk's office answers at 970-245-5396. A hearing soon after arrest is held before a U.S. magistrate judge for the first court date.

You won't find a bail chart. Instead, a judge holds a detention hearing to rule on whether the accused may go home until trial and with which conditions. Before trial, many federal detainees are held in nearby jails where the Marshals rent beds. For which jail, call the Marshals on 970-243-5210. When a Garfield defendant gets federal prison time, the Bureau of Prisons (the BOP) chooses the prison; its BOP inmate locator displays the location.

Step one: During booking, fingerprint scans go to federal databases shared with ICE.

Step two: If ICE wants the person, the agency submits a hold request by way of Form I-247A.

Step three: The request seeks up to another 48 hours beyond the release time. Those hours run without pause, counting weekends and holidays.

Step four: State law, C.R.S. 24-76.6-102, states jails cannot hold anyone longer only because ICE asked. So Garfield County sets the defendant free at the normal time except if some other legal hold says otherwise.

Step five: ICE officers may arrive at the moment of release and take custody. If they do not, the person simply leaves.

Look up someone ICE holds with the locator; enter the A-number with birth country.

An ICE booking photo can only be requested on ICE's records request page, and ICE then rules on it.

Federal booking photos aren't given to members of the public and reporters.
