Locate Grand County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility Inmates

Grand County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility Overview

The Grand County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility is a county jail operated by the Grand County Sheriff's Office. It sits in Hot Sulphur Springs, the county seat, and serves as the local detention point for adult prisoners in Grand County. The official Detentions page says the facility is responsible for the care and safekeeping of all prisoners incarcerated there, both sentenced prisoners and people awaiting trial. That means the Grand County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility covers the local jail population after arrest, during court proceedings, and during local jail sentences.

The facility is not a state prison, federal prison, or immigration detention center. People sentenced to Colorado Department of Corrections custody are searched through CDOC after transfer. Federal inmates are searched through the Federal Bureau of Prisons when they are in BOP custody, and immigration detainees are searched through ICE's Online Detainee Locator System. A person may have a Grand County arrest or court case and still move out of the county jail system later.

Grand County Jail Capacity

The official Grand County Detentions page publishes a capacity of 50 adult beds for the Grand County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility. That number is a facility capacity, not a daily inmate count. The official sources reviewed did not publish a live current population, average daily population, annual bookings, or demographic breakdown for the jail. The honest facility record is therefore precise about the 50-bed capacity and cautious about live population details that Grand County did not post online.

Lookup Grand County Jail Inmates

No official online roster was found for the Grand County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility. The lookup path starts with the jail phone when the question is current custody, visitation, or whether staff can explain the proper request channel. For booking records, incident records, photos, audio, body-camera material, or other criminal justice records, use the Sheriff's Records Division. For filed charges after an arrest, use the Colorado Judicial Branch docket and record request tools.

1. Call 970-725-3343 ext. 3 for jail-specific contact or visitation reservations.
2. Use the main Sheriff's Office number, 970-725-3343, for general office routing.
3. Use records@co.grand.co.us, fax 970-725-3227, or in-person records service for criminal justice records.
4. Search Colorado Judicial Branch dockets when a court case has been filed after the arrest.
5. Search CDOC, BOP, or ICE only if the person is no longer in local county jail custody.

The Grand County inmate records page gives more detail on the no-roster fallback chain and the record fields that are not publicly available through a county inmate profile.

Grand County Jail Address

The jail and Sheriff's Office share the same official physical address. Use the facility address for visits, in-person records planning, and directions. Use the inmate mailing address for letters and approved mailed funds. The county site does not publish visitor parking details, an ADA visitor entrance instruction, or a locker policy, so visitors should confirm those points before travel.

Visiting Grand County Jail Inmates

Visitation at the Grand County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility is by reservation. The jail instructs visitors to call 970-725-3343 ext. 3 to make a reservation and speak to a detention deputy. Inmates are allowed one 30-minute visit on each visiting day. All visitors must have picture ID, and visitors are checked for warrants by the detention deputy on duty before the visit. Visitors must be 18 unless they are accompanied by an adult or are visiting a parent.

Note: The county page does not publish video visitation, dress code, or arrival-window rules.

Mail and Money at Grand County Jail

Mail rules for the Grand County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility are specific. Mail must be sent through the U.S. Postal Service, and hand-delivered mail is not accepted. The official mail label is Grand County Jail, even though the facility's formal name is the Sheriff's Office Detention Facility. Incoming envelopes should include the sender's name and return address. Cash should not be sent through the mail.

The county page does not publish an online deposit vendor, kiosk vendor, retailer deposit option, commissary order schedule, tablet program, or remote video vendor. Do not assume a vendor exists just because many other jails use one.

Grand County Jail Phone Cards

Inmates at the Grand County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility have collect-call phones in their cell blocks. The official Detentions page says inmates may buy phone cards from facility commissary in $5, $10, or $20 amounts. Routine incoming calls or messages are not part of the public rule set. Messages are delivered only for verifiable emergencies.

Grand County Booking Records

Grand County does not publish a detailed public booking manual. The Detentions page does state that all inmates receive an inmate handbook when entering the facility, and that the handbook details inmate rights and responsibilities. Standard jail booking may involve identity checks, property inventory, safety screening, photos, fingerprints where required, and housing assignment, but the county did not publish each local step. Current custody questions go to the jail. Booking or incident records go to the Sheriff's Records Division.

The Sheriff's records form can be used for case reports, citations, 911 audio, body-camera footage, photos, and related criminal justice records. A requester should include the subject's name, date of birth if known, date or location of the incident, case number if known, and a clear description of the record sought. Photo ID is required, and requests are generally met within three business days unless more research is needed.

Grand County Court and Bond

A jail booking does not answer every court question. The Grand County Judicial Center handles local court records after a case is filed. The court page lists the courthouse at 307 Moffat Avenue in Hot Sulphur Springs and gives the clerk's contact as 970-725-3357 ext. 7 and grandclerk@judicial.state.co.us. The Colorado Judicial Branch docket search can show hearings and case numbers, while the record/document request form can request complaint or information documents, disposition or sentence orders, protection orders, tickets, and Registers of Action.

The local jail page lists a $30 booking fee and a $10 bond fee. It does not publish accepted bond payment methods, online bond payment, or after-hours bond rules. Bond type and amount are set through the court process. Before traveling to post bond, confirm the person's custody status, bond type, payment method, and any outside hold with the jail or court.

Grand County Detentions Source

The official Grand County Detentions page is the best matching source for the facility because it publishes the capacity, visitation schedule, mail rules, phone-card details, and jail fee items.

The page supports the facility's public-facing operations, but it does not show an online inmate roster or public booking-photo gallery.
