Yuma County Jail

Looking for inmate information? The 54-bed Yuma County Jail is available 24 hours a day at 970-332-4805.

People arrested for misdemeanors and felonies in the county are taken here for booking and processing. Those held stay in custody until they are bonded out, released on their own recognizance, or ordered to remain until the disposition of their trial.

The facility’s roster is available through the inmate search tool.

Inmates with sentences of less than one year serve them here. Inmates with longer sentences are transferred to the Colorado State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

This page includes information on the visitation schedule, putting money on an inmate’s account, mail, phone calls, voicemail, email and texting, tablet rentals, bail bonds, and commissary.

It’s smart to save the inmate’s booking number or jail ID for mail and messages. If it’s not online, call Yuma County Jail at 970-332-4805.

How Do You Find Someone in the Yuma County Jail?

The easiest way to find an inmate in the Yuma County Jail is to search the Official Jail Inmate Roster, which shows charges, bond amounts, visiting eligibility, and mugshots. You can also get this information by calling 970-332-4805. In addition, you can search Colorado court dockets to find upcoming criminal cases in Yuma County and every other county.

Yuma County Jail Inmate Search

Do you have an outstanding warrant in Yuma County or anywhere in Colorado? Need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Crimewatch is a good place to start for warrants, and the official Colorado docket search covers court cases. Note that Crimewatch only shows warrants that participating agencies choose to post, so it may not list every active warrant.

Most criminal defendants charged with non-capital offenses in Yuma County and throughout Colorado are eligible for reasonable bail. If the charge is a petty crime or traffic offense, monetary bail typically isn’t required. Colorado statutes direct judges to consider:

• The defendant’s finances and job.
• Family ties and length of time living in the area.
• The nature and severity of the offense.
• Prior criminal record.

Need an inmate’s bail amount? Call the Yuma County Jail at 970-332-4805. A sample Colorado bond schedule shows typical amounts by charge, though schedules vary by judicial district. The county accepts cash, surety, or property bonds, or may release the offender on personal recognizance.

The Yuma County Jail holds a license for 54 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Colorado, at least 35-40% of the population turns over every month. Every 90 days, another 25-30% turns over, and every six months, another 15-20%. About 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are typically facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Yuma County facilities much longer.

Every year, Yuma County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 13,860 offenders.

We also have a collection of photos of the Yuma County Jail, gathered over the years.

About the Yuma County Jail

The 54-bed Yuma County Jail is responsible for the housing and care of those who are accused or convicted of committing a misdemeanor or felony in Yuma County as they wait for their trial or as they serve their sentence, usually less than one year. 

It serves many law enforcement organizations including the Sheriff’s Department, local police, Immigration, and other surrounding counties as needed.

If you have questions regarding an inmate or the programs and services provided, the staff can be reached at 970-332-4805, and an online listing of all the detainees is published for your own investigation.

Upon intake, the booking process is completed, which includes a medical screening, fingerprinting and mugshots, DNA sample, along with an assessment to determine security needs, medical needs, mental health requirements, and housing assignment. 

Staff is available to transport all inmates to court dates and any medical appointments or emergency needs, as well as inspecting all mail for contraband, receiving commissary funds and other money for inmates, maintaining the safety of the community and the security of the facility, and other tasks. 

The Yuma County Jail also provides several other services to inmates including basic needs in meals, laundry, and hygiene items, and programs including AA, counseling, religious programs, education, recreation, and opportunities to grow social and life skills. 

Along with the efforts made by the staff, reduced recidivism is seen when inmates are able to stay in contact and supported by their family or friends who are not incarcerated so mail, phones, and visits are provided. 

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. 

Phone accounts are also registered online, and allow for inmates to make outgoing calls during the daytime and evening hours when they are not participating in a task or program. 

Information for money for an inmate’s commissary can be found on our Inmate Money page. 

All personal mail is sent to: 

310 Ash St.
Wray, CO 80758

Staff will open each piece and look for contraband, which is removed before it is given to the inmate.

Legal mail, money orders, books and newspaper and magazine subscriptions are mailed to:

Recent Bookings & Arrests

What happens during booking at Yuma County Jail?

After arrest, individuals are processed at Yuma County Jail, where they undergo a series of steps that determine their charges and whether they’ll be released on their own recognizance, allowed to post bail, or held until their court date.

The first rule for anyone arrested is to remain silent. Anything they say can be used in court, so it’s best to speak only to an attorney about the incident.

Here are the typical stages of the booking process at Yuma County Jail:

  • Verifying the person’s identity.
  • Taking mugshots.
  • Questions regarding medical and mental health history, along with drug and gang affiliations.
  • Collecting DNA if necessary.
  • Conducting a physical search.
  • Confiscating personal belongings.
  • Providing a phone call.

If you need details about an offender’s bail or bond, contact the facility at 970-332-4805.

Inmate Bail and Bonding

How do you post bail in Yuma County?

If someone is taken to Yuma County Jail in Wray for booking, the next steps depend on their case:

1. The individual may be released without bail, under a promise to appear at a court hearing.
2. They could be held in custody until their trial.
3. They may post a bail or bond for release. To find out the exact bail amount, call 970-332-4805.

Bail payments can be handled in various ways.

  • Cash bonds are paid in full, normally at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order, and card payments are often possible through a kiosk in the lobby or an online vendor for a convenience fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number ready, and reach the jail at 970-332-4805.
  • Licensed bail bond agents in Yuma County can facilitate payment.
  • Property bonds are available in many courts: an owner may pledge land or a home after proving clear title and equity of at least the bond amount (often double) with the deed and a recent tax or appraisal figure, and the court that set bail decides whether to accept it.

Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Yuma County Jail?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Yuma County Jail uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to 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. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Yuma County Jail 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.
310 Ash St.
Wray, CO 80758


Option 4 - Make an Inmate Deposit with Jail ATM over the Phone by calling 877-810-0914
