Offenders arrested for misdemeanors and felonies in this county are brought here for booking and processing, and if their crime requires it, are incarcerated until they are either bonded out, are released from custody on their own recognizance, or are ordered to remain in custody until the disposition of their trial.

Those who are found guilty and sentenced to a term of less than one year, will do their time in this county. Those sentenced to longer terms will be sent to either the Colorado State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

This page provides information on how to search for an inmate in the official jail roster, or by calling the facility at 970-725-3343, directions to the facility, and inmate services such as the visitation schedule and policies, funding an inmate's account, mailing them a letter, receiving phone calls from an inmate, voicemail, emailing and texting, tablet rentals, bail bond instructions, and commissary purchases.

It's always a good idea to find out and save the inmate's jail ID number or booking number as you may need this for sending mail or other communication needs. If you can't locate it online, you can call the Grand County Detention Facility at 970-725-3343 to get it.

How Do You Find Someone in the Grand County Detention Facility?

The Grand County Detention Facility posts its current inmates on the Official Jail Inmate Roster, where you can check an inmate’s charges, bond amount, when they can receive visits, and often their mugshot.

Grand County Detention Facility Inmate Search

Need to know if there’s a warrant for you in Grand County or elsewhere in Colorado? Start your search at Crimewatch. For court case details involving you or someone you know, we rely on the official Colorado docket search. Since not all agencies post their warrants on Crimewatch, it’s possible for a warrant to exist even if it doesn’t appear there.

In Grand County and throughout Colorado, most defendants charged with non-capital crimes are eligible for reasonable bail, and petty or traffic offenses usually don’t require monetary bail. When setting bail, judges consider factors such as:

• The defendant’s finances and job.
• Family ties and length of time living in the area.
• The nature and severity of the offense.
• Prior criminal record.

To check an inmate’s bail at the Grand County Detention Facility, call 970-725-3343. You can also review a sample Colorado bond schedule for typical amounts; judicial districts each publish their own. The county accepts payment in cash, by surety bond, or by property bond, and personal recognizance release is also possible.

The Grand County Detention Facility is licensed for 50 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for more, especially on weekends. Of the inmates at most city and county jails in Colorado, at least 35-40% turn over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay incarcerated six to 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 remain in one of the Grand County facilities much longer.

Grand County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 2,400 offenders every year.

We also provide photos of the jail that we have collected over the years.

It serves many law enforcement organizations including the Sheriff’s Department, local police, Immigration, and other surrounding counties as needed.

If you have questions regarding an inmate or the programs and services provided, the staff can be reached at 970-725-3343, and an online listing of all the detainees is published for your own investigation.

Upon intake, the booking process is completed, which includes a medical screening, fingerprinting and mugshots, DNA sample, along with an assessment to determine security needs, medical needs, mental health requirements, and housing assignment. 

Staff is available to transport all inmates to court dates and any medical appointments or emergency needs, as well as inspecting all mail for contraband, receiving commissary funds and other money for inmates, maintaining the safety of the community and the security of the facility, and other tasks. 

The Grand County Detention Facility also provides several other services to inmates including basic needs in meals, laundry, and hygiene items, and programs including AA, counseling, religious programs, education, recreation, and opportunities to grow social and life skills. 

Along with the efforts made by the staff, reduced recidivism is seen when inmates are able to stay in contact and supported by their family or friends who are not incarcerated so mail, phones, and visits are provided. 

Visits are in person, and are via video and an account is created online to book and complete visits, allowing both visitors and inmates to schedule a visit. 

Phone accounts are also registered online, and allow for inmates to make outgoing calls during the daytime and evening hours when they are not participating in a task or program.
