San Juan County Jail Inmate Search

To find out whether you have a warrant in San Juan County or anywhere in Colorado, begin with Crimewatch. For court case details involving you, a friend, or a relative, the official Colorado source is the most reliable option. Because not all agencies post warrants on Crimewatch, an empty search doesn’t rule out a warrant.

In Colorado, including San Juan County, the law makes reasonable bail available to most defendants facing non-capital charges, and those charged with petty or traffic offenses usually have no monetary bail. Judges set bail after reviewing factors like:

• 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.

To get an inmate’s bail, call the San Juan County Jail at 970-387-5531. If you know what they were arrested for, a sample Colorado bond schedule can help you estimate the amount, since each judicial district publishes its own. Cash, surety bonds, and property bonds are accepted, and personal recognizance release is an option.

The San Juan County Jail is licensed for 0 inmates, though it is often forced to accept many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Colorado turn over at least 35-40% of inmates monthly, 25-30% more every 90 days, and 15-20% more every six months, with roughly 8-9% remaining six to twelve months. Stays of more than a year are usually tied to serious charges like rape or murder. Those cases take longer to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county remain at one of the San Juan County facilities much longer.

Every year, law enforcement agencies in San Juan County arrest and detain approximately 7,341 offenders.
