Prowers County Jail Inmate Search
Do you need to know whether there’s a warrant for your arrest in Prowers County or anywhere in Colorado? Search Crimewatch. For court case details, we use the official Colorado source. Be aware that Crimewatch doesn’t include warrants from every agency, so no results is not proof that no warrant exists.
Colorado law makes most criminal defendants in Prowers 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 Prowers County Jail at 719-336-8054. 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.
Licensed for 57 inmates, the Prowers County Jail often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. A typical city or county jail turns over at least 35-40% of its population every month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with approximately 8-9% staying between six and twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than a year are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because it takes longer to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Prowers County facilities much longer.
Prowers County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 1,540 offenders each year.

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.
