Lookout Mountain Youth Services Center
Lookout Mountain Youth Services Center
Lookout Mountain has a group of youth centers that are focused on housing and rehabilitating male young offenders in the area. This campus includes Aspire Youth Services Center, Golden Peak Youth Services Center, and Summit Youth Services Center. Located in Golden, Colorado, there are beds for 96 male juvenile offenders at any time. Programming at these three facilities is focused on cognitive behavioral treatments and social learning, encouraging youth to grow their interpersonal skills and to find their place in their community. A focus is held on building healthy relationships, academic programming to keep up with those in the public school systems and to earn a GED, and all medical and mental health needs are cared for. Substance abuse issues are treated, along with any emergency or ongoing medical issues, and dental care. Through a multidisciplinary approach the facility engages several professionals who treat youth in different ways and meet different needs, to ensure that the whole youth is provided for rather than focusing on one aspect of them or their behavior. Mail: Mail is permitted but will be opened in the presence of the youth and it will be censored or returned if there is contraband, inappropriate content, or conversations of illegal activity. Phones: At least twice each month students will be provided with access to telephones to contact their immediate family, parents, guardians, or other approved numbers. Incoming calls are also accepted during this time. Visitation: Each of the three campuses offer daily visiting hours from 3pm to 8pm during the week and 9am to 5pm on the weekends. Immediate family, parents, foster parents, and guardians are permitted to visit but should call the facility in advance and schedule their visit.Inmate Services

Lookout Mountain Youth Services Center Inmate Search
Checking for a warrant in Jefferson County or anywhere else in Colorado? Start with Crimewatch. For information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, turn to the official Colorado court dockets. Not every law enforcement agency posts warrants on Crimewatch, so a search with no results doesn’t mean a warrant doesn’t exist.
In Jefferson County and every court in Colorado, reasonable bail is generally available for non-capital offenses, while petty crimes and traffic offenses typically require no monetary bail. Judges decide the amount based on 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 find an inmate’s bail, start by calling the Lookout Mountain Youth Services Center at 303-273-2600. You can also review a sample Colorado bond schedule for typical amounts by charge, though judicial districts set their own. Cash, surety bonds, and property bonds are accepted in this county, as is release on personal recognizance.
The Lookout Mountain Youth Services Center is licensed for 200 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Colorado turn over at least 35-40% of their population monthly, 25-30% more every 90 days, and 15-20% more every six months. Around 8-9% stay incarcerated for six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Jefferson County facilities much longer.
Every year, Jefferson County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 34,000 offenders.
