Every court in Colorado, including those in Saguache County, treats most defendants charged with non-capital crimes as eligible for reasonable bail. Petty crimes and traffic offenses generally don’t require monetary bail. Judges base the bail amount on several factors:

• Whether the defendant is employed and what they can afford.
• Ties to the community, including family and how long they’ve lived there.
• The severity of the current charge.
• Past offenses and criminal record.

The easiest way to learn an offender’s bail at the Saguache County Jail is to call 719-657-4000. For a general sense of amounts, you can review a sample Colorado bond schedule, but each judicial district has its own. The county takes cash, surety bonds, and property bonds, and can also release an offender on personal recognizance.

Even though the Saguache County Jail is licensed for inmates, it is often forced to accommodate many more, especially on weekends. In most city and county jails in Colorado, at least 35-40% of the population turns over each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. About 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Offenders who stay longer than a year are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder, and because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, anyone arrested in this county on such charges remains in one of the Saguache County facilities much longer.
