Colorado Jails & Prisons
Every jail, prison and detention facility in Colorado — addresses, phone numbers, visiting rules, and the official inmate search for each one.
Colorado has 19 state prisons operated by Colorado Department of Corrections, plus 56 county and local jails. This directory lists 27 because it still carries institutions the agency is closing. How we count.
- ArrestedTaken to the county jail for the county where the arrest happened — not where they live.
- County jailHeld here while the case runs. 56 local jail facilities in Colorado. Bail is set and posted here.
- Court and sentencingMost people leave from here. Only a sentence to state time moves someone into the prison system.
- Released, fined, or a county sentence — the path ends here for most people
- Reception centreWeeks, not days. They are scored, assessed and assigned. Expect little contact during this stage — this is the part families are least warned about.
- InstitutionPlaced at one of 19 institutions, at a security level set by their score — not by the worst thing the prison is allowed to hold.
- Release and supervisionThey report to a parole or probation office, which is rarely the city they were held in.
Browse Colorado records by system.
Jails, state prisons, federal facilities, and ICE detention are run by different agencies under different rules. These groups are how we file the records — not official counts of what the state operates.
What do you need to do in Colorado?
Each link goes to the agency that actually handles it. Individual facilities can still add their own rules, so confirm with the one holding the person.

Where in Colorado?
Most people know the county or the city, not the name of the facility. Start there. Bail is set and posted at the county jail, so the county page is also where the sheriff, the custody search and the court contacts live.

7 closed facilities in Colorado
These have shut. Nobody is held at any of them. They are listed because the names stay in people’s records, letters and memories long after the doors close, and because a directory that simply omits them looks broken to the person searching.
