• Bond terms for an arrest in Pueblo get decided by a court.
• Prompt hearing: for most arrests, bond gets a judge's review within two days of arrival at the Pueblo jail.
• PR bond: the inmate signs a promise to appear in court, with no funds up front.
• Cash: a friend posts the total bond at the jail or court.
• Agent bonds: Colorado sets a fee cap of 15% of the bond, with $50 as the floor; it isn't refunded.
• Property in the state counts only if its equity is at least 1.5 times the bond.
• Extra rules: release may include phone check-ins, no-contact orders, and more.
• Holds: a hold from another county may keep a Pueblo inmate jailed after bond.
• No-shows: miss a court date and expect a warrant and a lost bond.
• Where to start: ring the jail at 719-583-6135 for the current bond.

A federal charge from Pueblo County doesn't stay in the county courts. Shortly after booking, the one held meets a U.S. magistrate judge for a first hearing.

Federal court has no bail chart. Instead, a federal judge runs a detention review hearing to rule whether your relative stays locked up pending trial and which conditions fit. During the case, lots of federal defendants wait in a local jail by agreement with the Marshals Service. For their location, phone the Marshals on 719-633-2037. After a court orders prison, the federal prison agency, the BOP, selects the prison; its BOP inmate locator lists which prison.

Step one: As part of booking, the fingerprints go to federal databases ICE has access to.

Step two: If ICE decides to act, it lodges an immigration detainer using Form I-247A.

Step three: The form seeks up to 48 more hours once the planned release passes. The clock runs nonstop, with weekends and holidays counted.

Step four: Colorado's law, C.R.S. 24-76.6-102, says jails may not keep a person longer just because ICE sent a detainer. So Pueblo County frees the arrested person on schedule unless a warrant or court order says otherwise.

Step five: ICE agents may arrive when the arrested person is let out to pick the person up. Otherwise, the defendant goes free.

Families can search in ICE custody, use the online locator. It needs an A-number and birth country, or name, birth country and date of birth.

After a DOC sentence, they remain in the county jail for a while until CDOC transfers them. At CDOC reception, new prisoners are tested and given a custody level.

An ICE booking photo is requested only through the ICE FOIA request page, and then ICE must agree.

Booking photos from federal cases are not shared with the general public or the news media. One exception applies: the Marshals Service, the agency that photographs people booked on federal charges, is free to share an image about a wanted fugitive if that helps capture the one held or put people on notice; it can also do that for an immediate risk to public safety.
