• Setting the bond: a judge sets the bond type and amount.
• Time limit: Colorado gives judges up to 48 hours after booking to set bail.
• Release on a promise: nothing is paid up front when a PR bond is granted; your loved one signs and must come back on time.
• Posting cash: pay every dollar in an accepted form and it can come back after the case.
• A bail bond: plan on a fee of no more than 15% ($50 minimum); the agent posts the full bond.
• Using land: a Colorado property can back the bond if its equity is 1.5 times that amount.
• The court may add terms: curfews, testing or no-contact orders.
• Other holds: a hold from another case may still keep someone at the Black Hawk jail after bond is posted.
• Keep every court date: missing one can lead to a warrant plus bond forfeiture.
• Where to start: call the jail at 303-582-3576 for the current bond amount.

A federal charge from Gilpin County doesn't go through the state courts. Court dates happen inside the Alfred A. Arraj U.S. Courthouse in Denver, 901 19th Street, Denver, CO 80294; its clerk is at 303-844-3433. Within about a day of the arrest, your loved one is brought before a U.S. magistrate judge at a first appearance.

Federal judges skip the bail chart. So a federal judge schedules a formal detention hearing and then decides if the one held goes home until trial and which conditions fit. Until then, most federal detainees are held in a local county jail working with the U.S. Marshals. For which jail, ring the Marshals on 303-728-7800. If prison is ordered, the BOP (federal prison agency) takes charge; its BOP inmate locator lists the location.

First: As part of booking, the fingerprints are sent to federal systems ICE has access to.

Next: Once ICE shows interest, it submits a detainer using Form I-247A.

Then: That form requests as many as 48 more hours after the normal release time. The clock keeps running, with weekends and holidays counted.

But: Colorado law, C.R.S. 24-76.6-102, says a jail may not keep a person longer only because ICE sent a detainer. So Gilpin County must free them on time unless a court order applies.

Finally: ICE agents may come right at release and take the detained person. Otherwise, your relative simply leaves.

Following a DOC sentence, transfer isn't instant; they usually wait in the detention center first. At a CDOC intake center, new prisoners are tested and classified.

Then, they move to a prison that matches their level. The CDOC search displays the prison; see Colorado prisons for addresses.

Search the Gilpin jail roster. The Gilpin list shows booking photos (mugshots) next to names. News media looking for a mugshot that isn't public can ask the Gilpin County sheriff's office on 303-582-1060.

An ICE booking photo may only be sought on ICE's FOIA request site, following which ICE decides whether to approve it.

Federal mugshots aren't released to members of the public and journalists. One exception applies: the U.S. Marshals Service, which takes U.S. booking photos, can release an image for a fugitive to help capture the person or alert individuals, or whenever there is an immediate danger to people.
