Kit Carson County Jail Inmate Search

Do you need to know whether there’s a warrant for your arrest in Kit Carson County or anywhere in Colorado? Search Crimewatch. For court case details, we use the official Colorado source. Keep in mind that not every agency posts its warrants on Crimewatch, so no results there doesn’t guarantee there’s no warrant.

Colorado law makes most criminal defendants in Kit Carson County charged with non-capital offenses eligible for reasonable bail, and petty or traffic offenses typically come with no monetary bail. When setting bail, judges weigh:

• The defendant’s employment and financial resources.
• How long they’ve lived in the area and whether they have family there.
• How serious the charged offense is.
• Any prior criminal record or past offenses.

You can find out an inmate’s bail by calling the Kit Carson County Jail at 719-346-7006. Each judicial district in Colorado sets its own bond schedule; this sample bond schedule shows what typical amounts look like. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, or property bonds, and may release some offenders on personal recognizance.

The Kit Carson County Jail is licensed for 50 inmates, 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 the population turns over within a month, another 25-30% within 90 days, and another 15-20% within six months. About 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than that 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 Kit Carson County facilities much longer.

Kit Carson County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 2,340 offenders each year.
