Park County Jail Inmate Search
Need details about a possible warrant in Park County or elsewhere in Colorado, or about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Crimewatch is a good place to start for warrants, and the official Colorado docket search covers court cases. Keep in mind that not every agency posts its warrants on Crimewatch, so no results there doesn’t guarantee there’s no warrant.
Across Colorado, including in Park County, reasonable bail is available to most defendants charged with non-capital offenses, and petty or traffic offenses typically carry no monetary bail. Under state statutes, judges consider several factors when deciding on bail:
• The defendant’s financial situation and whether they are employed.
• Whether they’ve lived in the area for a while or have family nearby.
• The severity of the offense they are charged with.
• Their prior criminal record and past offenses.
Calling the jail at 719-836-4373 is the easiest way to learn an inmate’s bail at the Park County Jail. If you know the charge, a sample Colorado bond schedule gives a sense of typical amounts, though each judicial district sets its own. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond, and can release offenders on personal recognizance.
The Park County Jail is licensed for 150 inmates, but especially on weekends, it is often forced to make room for many more offenders. At most city and county jails in Colorado, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over monthly, and another 25-30% turn over every 90 days. Another 15-20% turn over every six months, and approximately 8-9% remain incarcerated 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 Park County facilities much longer.
Law enforcement agencies in Park County arrest and detain approximately 3,400 offenders each year.

If you have questions regarding an inmate or the programs and services provided, the staff can be reached at 719-836-4373, 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 Park County Jail 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.
