Phillips County Jail Inmate Search
Is there a warrant out for your arrest in Phillips County or somewhere else in Colorado? Crimewatch is a good place to start looking. For information on a court case involving you or a loved one, use the official Colorado docket search. Because not all agencies post warrants on Crimewatch, an empty search doesn’t rule out a warrant.
Most defendants in Phillips County charged with a non-capital offense are eligible for reasonable bail under Colorado law, and petty crimes or traffic offenses typically have no monetary bail. Judges look at several factors when setting the amount:
• 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.
The simplest way to find an offender’s bail is to call the Phillips County Jail at 970-522-2578 option 2. If you know the charge, a sample Colorado bond schedule can show typical amounts; each judicial district publishes its own. Bail can be paid with cash, a surety bond, or a property bond, and personal recognizance release is also an option.
The Phillips County Jail is licensed for 25 inmates, but weekends in particular often bring in more offenders than that. At most city and county jails in Colorado, at least 35-40% of the population turns over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with about 8-9% remaining six to twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than a year are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder, and because it takes time to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Phillips County facilities much longer.
Phillips County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 4,360 offenders each year.
