For warrants in Lincoln County or anywhere in Colorado, Crimewatch is a useful starting point. For details on a court case involving you, a friend, or a family member, check the official Colorado court dockets. Since not all agencies post their warrants on Crimewatch, it’s possible for a warrant to exist even if it doesn’t appear there.
Most people charged with a non-capital crime in Lincoln County, as elsewhere in Colorado, are eligible for reasonable bail. For petty crimes and traffic offenses, monetary bail is typically not required. Judges setting bail weigh several factors under Colorado law:
• Employment status and financial situation.
• Length of residence in the area and local family ties.
• The seriousness of the charge.
• Prior convictions and criminal history.
An inmate’s bail can be confirmed by calling the Lincoln County Jail at 719-743-2426. A sample Colorado bond schedule shows typical amounts, but each judicial district sets its own schedule. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds, or can release an offender on personal recognizance.
The Lincoln County Jail is licensed for 40 inmates, but it often must make room for many more, 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, and about 8-9% remain 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 Lincoln County facilities much longer.
Every year, approximately 1,540 offenders are arrested and detained by Lincoln County law enforcement agencies.

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.

The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
