Adams County Detention Facility — Brighton, Colorado

Use the Sheriff's custody search with the first few letters of the first and/or last name. Match identifying details, then retain the booked name, booking ID and any housing, case and bond information provided. A custody entry records detention and allegations, not guilt.

1. Try spelling variants and a shorter name entry if there is no match.
2. For a recent arrest, ask the arresting agency whether the person has reached the Adams County jail or remains at another location.
3. Call 303-654-1850 when a record is missing, ambiguous or appears transferred. An empty search does not establish release.

The search page contains a separate warrant disclaimer referring to a 7 AM update. It does not clearly establish the custody roster's update interval; do not treat it as one. For a warrant question, the published number is 720-322-1325, Monday–Friday 8 AM–5 PM. The jail accepts surrender at 150 N. 19th Avenue at any hour; consult counsel about a warrant and any bond conditions before arriving.

The Adams County Detention Facility is the Sheriff's adult county jail in Brighton. Intake, classification and housing are parts of this facility; a person may remain in intake while staff assess placement. The August 2026 rules say new arrivals may remain in intake for 48 hours, not that every booking or placement finishes within that period.

These rules are not for Adams Youth Services Center, Aurora detention or ICE custody, Denver's jail, a Colorado state prison or an Adams County in another state. Work Release has its own admission and movement rules. Confirm the actual custodian and court when a person has multiple holds or is awaiting transfer. A county name or city search result alone does not identify the applicable jail.

The current Sheriff's visiting page says in-person social visits are unavailable. Use HomeWAV from home; do not travel based on older alphabet-based onsite schedules still circulating online. The detained person initiates the video call after the outside account is approved and available.

The current page limits a video session to 30 minutes. It does not publish a complete weekly frequency limit or guarantee access during lockdown, medical placement or a disciplinary restriction. Ask 303-654-1850 about a specific assignment before setting aside time. An unavailable call is not evidence that the person has been released.

Sources: Sheriff: current visiting instructions · Sheriff: inmate rules, revised August 2026

Create a HomeWAV account, choose this facility and the correct person, verify your contact information and submit clear identity photographs. The provider accepts a government photo ID such as a driver's license, state ID or passport. Use an unobstructed face photo and readable ID; the facility decides approval. If denied, check the rejection reason and correct spelling or unreadable images before contacting jail staff.

The jail requires valid picture identification and appropriate clothing during video. Nudity, sexual behavior, driving and other unsafe activity can end access. The reviewed local rules do not settle minor registration ages, parental/guardian documentation, maximum participants, infant exceptions or acceptance of expired/temporary/foreign documents. Ask 303-654-1850 about the actual party before adding a child. Do not treat general provider guidance as local permission.

Because ordinary onsite social visits are unavailable, there is no verified current social-visit bag, locker or infant-supply admission procedure. Ask for an approved special arrangement instead of arriving with supplies. The incarcerated person requests special visits by a written kite to the Records Supervisor.

Use the HomeWAV app or a supported browser, allow camera/microphone access and test a stable connection before the published calling window. Keep the account signed in and ready; the person inside must initiate contact. Approval is controlled by the facility, so adding money alone does not activate a denied account.

For technical or account help, contact HomeWAV, 844-394-6639. Its support page lists staffed hours Monday–Friday 8 AM–6 PM Central and Saturday–Sunday 8 AM–5 PM Central; holidays 9 AM–5 PM Central. Retain the date, time, person/facility, device, error message, receipt and charged duration when requesting review of a failed session. A refund is not automatic merely because a call was short. Jail staff resolve housing or visiting restrictions; provider support resolves account and connection problems.

Sources: HomeWAV: account and connection help · HomeWAV: customer support · Sheriff: current visiting instructions

The current visiting page identifies HomeWAV for calls and video. It publishes $0.12 per minute for phone and $0.19 per minute for video. The Sheriff's FAQ still states $0.20 per minute for video and variable phone pricing. These pages conflict; inspect the actual HomeWAV price before funding or accepting a session and ask support about a discrepancy. The dedicated visiting page is the more specific current instruction, not a guarantee of the final account charge.

HomeWAV communication funds are not the jail's Access Corrections/ViaPath commissary balance. Match the facility and booked person before paying. Calls are normally monitored/recorded; do not discuss privileged case facts on an ordinary family account. No incoming ordinary messages are passed to the person, and staff office phones are not a substitute for inmate calling. Lockdowns and housing access can interrupt calls; do not assume a funded balance guarantees a call.

Sources: Sheriff: current visiting instructions · Sheriff: frequently asked questions · Sheriff: inmate rules, revised August 2026 · Sheriff: inmate funds

HomeWAV's current policy describes automatic refunds after the person has been released for at least 72 hours, a facility is decommissioned, either party deletes the connection, or 180 days of continuous inactivity. Contact support if more than 72 hours pass without the expected confirmation. Each funding transaction is refunded separately to its original payment method; mailed refunds can take up to 3 weeks.

For the provider's Inmate General Fund, ordinary refunds are not allowed while funds remain available in custody. Remaining release/transfer balances are returned to the most recently used cards first; cash/commissary contributions may require a check to the person. Ask HomeWAV to identify the actual account product. The jail's separate ViaPath tablet refund card and trust-money payout use different procedures; keep each receipt.

Lawyers and other authorized professionals should obtain the correct facility approval before using a professional HomeWAV account. Ordinary family registration does not establish an unrecorded legal channel. Confirm the privileged-contact process and any authorized in-person appointment with the jail at 303-654-1850; the reviewed current page does not establish a complete professional visiting timetable.

The published ADA coordinator is Senior Deputy Sarah Titus, 303-655-3302, stitus@adamssheriffco.gov, at 150 N. 19th Avenue, Brighton, CO 80601. State the communication or access accommodation needed. The rules describe electronic assistance for deaf people in booking and housing; the person should ask staff for it. Special social visits go through a kite to the Records Supervisor. No long-distance, medical or disability exception should be assumed approved without an actual arrangement.

Use this format:

The detailed instructions dated June 26, 2026 require USPS. Personal senders must handwrite the return address; permitted business, government and nonprofit labels are removed before delivery to the person. No mail may be left at the jail desk for delivery or collected there by a sender. USPS Express pickup is on weekdays excluding holidays; tracking does not establish the time of internal delivery.

Ordinary mail is opened and inspected and may be copied, scanned or imaged for delivery. Do not use an assumed commercial scanning address. The reviewed rules do not state a universal original-paper retention period. After release/transfer, incoming mail may be returned; the instructions also allow forwarding when a forwarding address is supplied. Arrange that address before leaving and ask about anything already held.

Sources: Sheriff: mailing instructions, June 26, 2026 · Sheriff: inmate rules, revised August 2026

The detailed rules allow up to 10 photographs, no larger than 5 × 7 inches. No Polaroids, nudity (including partially nude children), sexual content or drug/gang material. The August rules also list 10 pages of computer-printed photos. Keep images within both content and possession limits.

Do not send cash, personal checks, gift/phone cards, stamps, blank stationery/envelopes, food, tobacco, flame-producing items, cardboard, laminated/craft objects, musical cards, adhesive decorations or metal fasteners. Opened greeting cards may not exceed 8 × 11 inches. Avoid perfume, lipstick, stains or unknown substances. Personal identity documents such as birth/death certificates, Social Security cards, licenses and vehicle titles are prohibited through ordinary inmate mail; ask staff about a specific official need instead.

Third-party inmate-to-inmate correspondence is prohibited. Some easily removable staples, stickers or business-reply envelopes may be removed rather than causing rejection of the whole letter; that is not permission to add them. A complete return address matters: undeliverable rejected mail without one may be destroyed.

Sources: Sheriff: mailing instructions, June 26, 2026 · Sheriff: inmate rules, revised August 2026

Privileged/legal mail is inspected in the recipient's presence under the detailed mail instructions. Use the complete booked-name and booking-ID address and have the sender identify the legal correspondence appropriately. A personal letter marked legal does not establish privilege. Counsel should confirm any special document-delivery need with Records before sending an original that ordinary-mail rules prohibit.

People in custody can request law-library kiosk/tablet access through floor staff and ask for a notary. For people who qualify for indigent status, the rules describe free copies for 1983 civil-rights actions and related follow-up documents, and a copy of a criminal motion notarized in the law library. These are specific allowances, not a promise of free copying for every civil matter. A request for the Public Defender can be sent on a regular kite addressed to that office.

The June 2026 mailing form and August 2026 rules allow 4 books per shipment and 4 in possession, including legal/religious books. They must be paperbacks sent by a charity, or new and unused paperbacks sent directly by a bookseller/distributor, no larger than 8.5 × 11 inches and no heavier than 5 pounds. Coordinate with the person before ordering so an existing possession limit does not cause rejection.

The shorter mail webpage still says 2 books. We retain this conflict rather than quietly merging the rules: the two newer dated detailed documents agree on 4, but confirm an order with 303-654-1850 if staff give a different instruction. The detailed mailing form prohibits magazine subscriptions. Nonlocal newspapers must come directly from the agency and identify the recipient; retained newspapers are limited to 48 hours under the detailed rule. Do not send a general merchandise or food package.

Keep the rejection notice and mailing date. The dated June instructions distinguish two processes:

Submit the appeal to ACSOMailAppeal@adamssheriffco.gov with the recipient's booked name/ID, notice and disputed reason. The short website describes a broader 21-day appeal period, but the dated detailed form gives ordinary mail only 7 days. Do not wait for the longer period when contesting a letter; ask the mail unit to resolve the conflict. A delivery-tracking date is not necessarily the notice-mailing date that starts the appeal.

For commissary money, use the visitor-entrance cash kiosk at 150 N. 19th Avenue, Access Corrections, or 866-345-1884. Verify the booked person and retain the transaction number. The funds page allows money orders payable to ACDF or Adams County Detention Facility at the main office/visitor entrance; these are credited the next business day.

The August rules also describe a drop box left of the front desk for approved money orders, cashier/certified and government/other-jail checks. A check payable personally to the inmate can require an endorsement waiver; do not bring an unapproved personal check. The rules describe a 10-business-day hold for accepted payroll checks. Confirm the instrument before buying it because the shorter funding page lists fewer options.

A $30 booking fee is deducted from deposits. Posted provider fees, limits and kiosk opening hours were not established by the reviewed county pages; inspect the checkout total and ask the jail before travel. A bond-account contribution cannot be moved to commissary. HomeWAV phone/video funds are separate. For a missing jail credit, the person can send a kite to Accounting; give them the deposit receipt details.

Sources: Sheriff: inmate funds · Sheriff: inmate rules, revised August 2026

The August rules describe weekly kiosk/tablet commissary orders with a $90 weekly limit plus clothing. Tax applies except to stamps. Keep unaltered receipts; report order problems by kite to Accounting within 10 days. The reviewed current sources do not verify a separate public gift-package ordering program. Funding the verified trust account does not guarantee a particular item is available.

A person with less than $1 for 7 consecutive days meets the published indigent definition. Allowances include 2 ordinary envelopes per week, 1 legal manila envelope per week on request, and weekly hygiene supplies. Ask staff how to request the kit rather than buying a third-party package. The rules also allow a haircut after 60 consecutive indigent days, or for an Adams County jury trial within 2 weeks.

For an urgent family report about someone in this jail, call 303-654-1850 and identify the concern as medical or mental-health related. Give the booked name, booking ID if known, current symptoms or risk, relevant medication/provider details and a callback number. Ask staff to route the information promptly to the clinical team. The FAQ distinguishes urgent health information from an ordinary request to pass a message.

Inside, a person with an emergency must tell the nearest staff member immediately. Routine medical, dental and behavioral-health requests use a Medical Kite obtained from nursing and returned only to medical staff. The August rules describe intake screening, daily sick call and care available around the clock. A routine kite is not an appropriate reason to wait when someone reports immediate danger, severe symptoms or self-harm risk.

No copayment is charged for emergency care under the rules. Other visit, prescription and service charges are posted in housing and can change; no current dollar schedule was found online. Ask the medical team about a disputed charge and the grievance procedure. A relative can provide information without staff being authorized to disclose confidential clinical details back.

Sources: Sheriff: frequently asked questions · Sheriff: inmate rules, revised August 2026

Tell the clinical team about prescriptions, allergies, last doses, treating clinicians and the dispensing pharmacy. The reviewed general-jail sources do not establish a family medication drop-off procedure, direct clinical fax or standard discharge supply. Ask 303-654-1850 for the approved clinical routing before bringing medication. Work Release's separate medication rules must not be applied to ordinary housing.

The rules permit prescription glasses/case and one pair of contact lenses with a case/cleaner in personal possession. This does not by itself authorize an outside delivery. Ask staff how to arrange a needed replacement and identify any urgent vision/access issue.

For existing medical or custody records, the Sheriff's release form asks for the person's name, birth date, incarceration dates, record type and delivery method. It lists a $5 deposit with possible additional charges. A third-party authorization requires the person's notarized signature; in-custody requests go by kite. That records process is separate from urgent treatment communication, and family relationship alone does not authorize disclosure.

The August rules direct ordinary grievances through the electronic system when available; otherwise use a paper kite marked grievance. State one issue clearly, with dates, people involved and the requested resolution. General grievances must be filed within 10 days of the incident or first knowledge. Keep a copy or submission details.

The published sequence is deputy, supervisor, then commander/manager. Each level has a stated 10-day response period; the final level is final. The document does not clearly supply a separate deadline for escalating every unanswered step, so ask staff rather than treating a response period as an appeal filing deadline. Ordinary clinical requests use a Medical Kite; ask staff how a medical grievance is formally logged and escalated under the grievance procedure. Do not let an ordinary grievance delay immediate safety or clinical reporting.

A formal disciplinary appeal has a different clock: 24 hours after the decision is served, using the appeal form, with a response in 5 working days. Classification questions go to Classification through a kite and its review process. For an outside complaint or unresolved routing, call 303-654-1850 and request the responsible supervisor; no separate current public complaint/PREA coordinator contact was verified.

Sources: Sheriff: inmate rules, revised August 2026 · Sheriff: inmate services and ADA contact

The inmate rules instruct people to report sexual assault or harassment immediately to any uniformed or civilian staff member and prohibit retaliation. A family member with information should call the jail at 303-654-1850, identify the sexual-safety concern and request the supervisor responsible for immediate protection and reporting. Give the booked name, current danger, known facts and a safe callback method; do not wait to collect every detail before reporting an urgent risk.

The August rules identify The Blue Bench, 303-322-7273, as the external 24/7 sexual-assault crisis contact, with mail at P.O. Box 18951, Denver, CO 80218. Ask staff how to access the confidential advocate route. Ordinary recorded family calls are not a confidential advocacy channel. The reviewed sources did not establish the current separate PREA coordinator contact or a full sexual-abuse grievance exception/deadline policy; do not apply the ordinary 10-day grievance rule as a reason to withhold a sexual-abuse report.

Ask jail staff at 303-654-1850 to confirm each case's bond, holds, accepted payment and payee. The bond page lists in-person payment at 150 N. 19th Avenue using cash, money order or cashier's check, with instruments payable to Clerk of the Court. The posted bond-rights sheet instead says payment to the holding county, never the detained person's name. Confirm the exact payee at the counter before purchasing a nonrefundable instrument.

The page mentions AllPaid for online cash-bond payments but the reviewed page did not expose an unambiguous current family payment link/code. Its prominent Genesis eBONDS notice is for surety bonds beginning September 9, 2026. Do not confuse a commercial surety workflow with a family cash-bond deposit. Obtain verified instructions directly from jail staff rather than paying a caller or an unrelated search advertisement.

A contribution to a bond account is not necessarily a complete posted bond; it cannot be shifted into commissary. Ask for a receipt and the signed bond terms/next court date. Direct cash security, a commercial premium and collateral are different. For return of court-held bond money, retain the receipt and contact the court Clerk at 303-659-1161; a universal refund timetable was not verified.

The posted bond-rights sheet says booking debts and bond fees are not prerequisites to release; only the bond itself must be paid. It describes a $10 bond fee as a chargeable debt and a card-processing ceiling of 3.5%, with no extra bank/kiosk fee for cash, check or money-order payment. A person posting for someone else cannot be required to apply the bond to debts; a person posting their own may do so voluntarily.

The sheet describes release within 6 hours after a personal-recognizance bond is set and the person is back at jail, or after a cash bond is set, the person is back and staff are told the money is ready, unless extraordinary circumstances apply. Electronic-monitoring fitting can create an exception of up to 24 hours. Other cases, holds or conditions still matter. This is not a guarantee that every payment creates release within 6 hours.

If release is delayed beyond the applicable period, ask staff for the reason and retain payment/notification times. The sheet gives Duty Records Supervisor, 303-655-3490, for concerns about these rights; the person inside may kite Records. Ask counsel about a case-specific unresolved restriction.

The Sheriff's services page and August rules publish property-release hours of Saturday and Sunday, 7–11 AM. For an emergency, contact the duty sergeant. Ask 303-654-1850 what inmate authorization, recipient ID and item restrictions apply before traveling; a family relationship alone does not authorize collection.

When someone transfers to the Department of Corrections, property the receiving institution will not accept must be collected within 15 days; the rules warn it may then be destroyed. The services page allows collection at any time during that period. Confirm the exact deadline and release paperwork before arranging a pickup.

Trial clothing is accepted through Court Security for an actual trial, with the rules referring to delivery within 7 days of trial. Confirm the appointment and permitted clothing directly; do not interpret that phrase as permission to drop clothing at the jail for any hearing. On final release, check the returned inventory before signing. If something is missing, request Form 4302 before leaving.

The August rules say normal completed-sentence releases occur at 4:30 AM. This is not a prediction for a bond, transfer or court-ordered discharge. Confirm custody status and pickup instructions at 303-654-1850, arrange a reachable driver and plan for a safe destination. A daytime bus schedule does not establish an early-morning ride.

The rules do not promise general transportation, but say some people may qualify for help reaching an operating bus terminal depending on the hour and circumstances. A person without enough money for bus fare may ask the front desk for an RTD ticket. Ask before leaving; assistance is not automatic and no taxi or accessible vehicle is guaranteed.

Remaining trust money is paid in cash below $20.01, by debit card at $20.01 or more, and by check for transfers to another jurisdiction under the rules. ViaPath tablet funds require the separate refund-card process; HomeWAV has its own return policy. Check property, account receipts, identification, medication instructions and court/supervision paperwork before departure. Ask staff about any missing document or essential support rather than leaving an unclear deadline unresolved.

The jail rules describe GED/education, parenting, substance-use education and support, life-skills, religious and recreation programs. Sign-up is generally weekly; access depends on classification, conduct and available space. Request Programs or the chaplain through a kite. A program listing is not guaranteed enrollment, sentence reduction or release eligibility.

Request a religious diet or religious item through Programs; a medical diet goes through Medical. Inmate Worker eligibility is distinct: the rules require an Adams County sentence and exclude maximum-security classification. Court Services handles the application. Ask early about identification, a place to stay, medication follow-up, transportation and any reporting order; the reviewed sources do not establish a universal release kit or a guaranteed housing placement.

Work Release is a separate approved program, not permission for any jailed person to leave for a job. The current page requires full-time employment of at least 32 hours per week, limits shifts to 10 hours and time away to 6 days per week, and normally requires work within 50 miles. The commander must approve an exception. Listed restrictions include pending new charges, a charge or conviction for a Class 1 felony or sexual offense, and disciplinary removal from Inmate Worker during the current incarceration. Jobs at Sheriff/facility projects, door-to-door sales, daycare and an establishment whose main commodity contributed to the charge (such as liquor or weapons) are excluded. Applicants must have resources to pay program costs. Staff review the actual history and job; do not infer eligibility from a court order alone.

Complete the linked application with the employer supervisor's ink signature and bring it to mandatory orientation. The published session is Tuesday at 3 PM; check in at 2:30 PM. Arrival after 2:59 PM requires rescheduling. Ask 303-655-3480 / ACSOwr@adamssheriffco.gov about the court order, current application, admission date, fees and job suitability. Program medication and departure rules are separate from ordinary housing.

Published orientation times are Monday and Friday 8:30 AM, Tuesday and Wednesday 3 PM, and Thursday 3 PM for Spanish only. Confirm the appointment location and documents with the program; do not arrive at the jail or a testing site simply because its address appears elsewhere on the page.

For approved jail business, the destination is 150 N. 19th Avenue, Brighton. Ordinary family visits are remote, so a visit alone is not a reason to drive to the jail. The reviewed sources identify the visitor entrance for deposits but do not establish a public visitor-lot price, overnight policy, general lobby hours or an accessible route from every parking space. Ask 303-654-1850 about your transaction and access needs.

The linked August 2025 Work Release orientation instructions are specific: participants and drivers use the red-painted Work Release area, not the white spaces; do not park at a curb or block circulation. The participant waits at the uncovered picnic tables. These instructions do not designate all red spaces for ordinary bond/property visitors.

For a transit connection, RTD identifies US 85 & Bridge Street Park-n-Ride, 77 E. Bridge Street, Brighton, CO 80601. The current RTD facility page lists 234 spaces, bike racks and no bike lockers. RTD's parking rules list this site as free for in-district and out-of-district customers for the first 24 hours. It is for transit users, not an overflow jail lot. Read posted longer-stay conditions; no garage, reserved space or overnight safety guarantee is implied. The courthouse at 1100 Judicial Center Drive is another destination; its visitor parking charges/access arrangements were not verified from a current primary source.

RTD Route 520, Brighton, connects US 85 & Bridge Street Park-n-Ride, central Bridge Street, 50th–Bridge, Platte Valley Medical Center and Prairie Center Mall. RTD’s current feed covers September 27, 2026–January 2, 2027. For the jail area, use the exact direction-specific stops: 20034, Bridge St & S 18th Ave, eastbound toward Prairie Center Mall; and 20038, Bridge St & N 19th Ave, westbound toward US 85 & Bridge Street Park-n-Ride. These correspond to the published Bridge–18th eastbound and Bridge–19th westbound timepoints.

All seven dates September 28–October 4, 2026 were checked against current stop-level scheduled data, weekday calendars and service exceptions. Times below are local America/Denver, not live arrivals. Each weekday has 14 departures per direction; Saturday has 15.

Sunday, October 4, 2026: the current calendar schedules no Route 520 departures at either of these two stops. This result comes from successfully validated service data, not a failed lookup. No date-specific exception changes the checked week. Check the actual date again for later trips or holidays; the table does not certify every future service date.

Both monitored stops allow regular boarding and alighting in the feed and are marked wheelchair-boardable. That stop flag does not verify a continuous accessible sidewalk, crossing, jail entrance or final walk to 150 N. 19th Avenue. Confirm those access details with the jail at 303-654-1850. Do not substitute the differently named nearby Bridge St & N 18th Ave stop for the eastbound timepoint.
