Reasonable bail is available for most non-capital offenses in Teller County and every other Colorado court, while petty crimes and traffic offenses generally carry no monetary bail. Judges look at the following factors:
• 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.

The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond, and can also release offenders on personal recognizance.
The Teller County Detention Center is licensed to hold 126 inmates, though it frequently has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Colorado see a monthly turnover of at least 35-40% of inmates, 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 remain longer than a year are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Since those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Teller County facilities much longer.
Teller County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 3,320 offenders per year.
We also have a collection of photos of the Teller County Detention Center, gathered over the years.

Most of the cells are double occupancy as the Teller County Detention Center is a medium security facility, which also has a library, commissary, gym, barber, chapel, and visitation spaces.
Recreation options are limited due to the short amount of time that is generally spent incarcerated at this location, however cards, games, reading, television, and other activities are available.
Mail is also able to be sent and received, with the US Postal Service delivering and picking up on weekdays, and mail being provided to inmates shortly after they are checked for both a full return address and any contraband that places the facility at risk.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Teller County Detention Center?
Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail

Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits.

Call the Teller County Detention Center first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the payee the jail names (check with the jail first) and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Never mail cash or a personal check.
