• Judge's call: for someone held in Burlington, a judge chooses the bond type and how much.
• Fast review: in most cases, the court reviews bond no later than 48 hours past the defendant is booked into jail.
• PR bond: sometimes the court lets that person go with just a signed promise to return at the Burlington courthouse.
• Cash bond: you pay the full sum.
• A bail bond: expect a nonrefundable fee of up to 15% ($50 minimum).
• Pledging a home: a court wants the owner to hold equity of 1.5 times the bond on Colorado land.
• Extra rules: getting out may include pretrial supervision, no-contact orders, and more.
• Holds: a hold from another agency may keep the defendant in jail after bond is paid.
• Show up for each date — a missed date can trigger new arrest orders and the loss of the money.
• Exact figures: the Burlington jail at 719-346-7006 can give the bond amount and how to pay.

Any federal case from Kit Carson County won't go through the county court system. Hearings are held inside the Alfred A. Arraj U.S. Courthouse in Denver, 901 19th Street, Denver, CO 80294 — the court clerk can be reached at 303-844-3433. Soon after being arrested, the arrested person appears before a U.S. magistrate judge for a first hearing.

Federal court has no bail chart. So the court runs a detention hearing and then decides if the detained person is released until trial and under what rules. Meanwhile, most federal detainees sit in a county lockup under contract with the U.S. Marshals. For their location, phone the Marshals on 303-728-7800. Once a judge imposes prison time, the federal BOP selects a prison. Later, its BOP inmate locator lists which prison.

1. ICE can see the fingerprints sent at booking.

2. If ICE wants the one held, it lodges a hold request with Form I-247A.

3. The request seeks 48 more hours at most after the normal release time. Those hours run without a break; Saturdays, Sundays and holidays still count.

4. State law, C.R.S. 24-76.6-102, says county jails cannot keep anyone beyond release just because ICE asked. That means Kit Carson County must release the defendant on schedule except if a court order says otherwise.

5. Officers from ICE can arrive at the moment of release to take the person into custody. If they don't, the defendant goes free.

The online ICE locator finds people ICE holds, entering their A-number and birth country.

ICE's website displays the Denver Contract Detention Facility at 3130 North Oakland Street, Aurora, CO 80010, phone 303-361-6612.

After a DOC sentence, that person remains in the jail for a while until the state transfers them. First comes a CDOC intake center for classification. There, staff look at security level, health, mental health and programs.

Then, the person moves to a prison that matches that rating. Use the CDOC lookup by name or DOC number, and the prison directory gives addresses and phones.

No. Kit Carson posts no inmate list online, so no Kit Carson mugshots are posted. VINELink tells you custody status only. Reporters looking for a booking photo that is not online may check with the Kit Carson County sheriff's office on 719-346-8934.

To get an ICE photo, file on the ICE FOIA request page; then ICE has to approve the request.

Federal booking photos stay private from the public and the media. There is one exception: the Marshals Service, the agency that takes booking photos in federal cases, is allowed to share one for a fugitive if that helps catch them or put the public on notice, and also for an immediate threat to public safety.
