Saguache County Jail Records

Releases from Saguache County Jail

A Saguache County Jail release means local sheriff custody ended. The next record depends on why custody ended: bond or a recognizance order should match Saguache Combined Court, probation should match the court and 12th Judicial District probation, a transfer should name another agency where releasable, and a CDOC sentence should move the search into the state offender-search lane. The jail release line is the custody endpoint; the court record usually explains the order behind it.

No official Saguache County recent-release dashboard, booking-photo feed, or sheriff jail app was found during the research pass. Treat that as a local access fact, not as proof that no release occurred. For the full county workflow, use the Saguache County released inmate search path with the sheriff, court, VINE, and CDOC separated by custody type.

Confirm a Jail Release

Call the Saguache County Sheriff's Office at 719-655-2544 for immediate status. Provide the person's full name, date of birth if known, approximate booking date, booking number if known, and court case number if known. Ask whether the person was booked, whether they have been released, the release date and time, the release type, the release authority, and whether the person was released to the community or transferred to another agency.

1. Use sheriff or jail records first for a local Saguache booking.
2. Check Saguache Combined Court for bond, dismissal, sentence, probation, warrant recall, or mittimus entries.
3. Use Colorado VINE for a custody-status alert when the agency feed is available.
4. Use CDOC Offender Search only after a state-prison sentence, parole release, or discharge is involved.

Saguache County Jail Records and Contact

Directory sources identify the Saguache County Sheriff's Office detention function at 530 5th Street, P.O. Box 265, Saguache, CO 81149. County Sheriffs of Colorado lists Sheriff Dan Warwick, phone 719-655-2544, and fax 719-655-2240. MySLVConnect describes the office as covering law enforcement, detentions, support, and victim services.

For a written release record, ask narrowly for records of official action and the jail release or discharge entry. Include the booking date, release date and time, release type, release authority, case number, charges, bond information, transfer destination if any, and booking photograph if releasable.

About Saguache County Jail

Saguache County Jail is the primary local jail source for a Saguache County booking and release. CPR News reported in 2018 that the jail was the old sheriff's house from 1957 and described the building as one of Colorado's older jail facilities, with operational limits that are useful context for a small rural detention operation. That history should not be read as a current release-record finding; its practical value is that direct sheriff contact may matter more here than a large automated public roster.

Match the Court Event

The Saguache Combined Court record may show the event that caused release: bond, recognizance, dismissal, time served, sentence completion, probation, mittimus, warrant recall, revocation, or case closure. The court may not show the exact jail release timestamp, but it is often the durable explanation after the person has dropped out of any current-custody view.

Saguache Jail No-Feed Workflow

Saguache County is not documented in the research as a county with a public same-day release dashboard. That changes the release search. In a larger county, a user might check a rolling table first and then ask for a record only if the name is missing. For Saguache County Jail, the better order is direct confirmation first, then written records if a durable document is needed. A live phone check can answer whether a person is still held, recently released, or transferred. A written request can preserve the release date, release time, release type, and authority.

This workflow also protects against a common mistake. A person who is not on a jail roster may have been released, moved to another agency, entered CDOC, or never been booked under the searched name. Ask the sheriff for the booking and release line, then compare the answer with Saguache Combined Court. If the court file shows a bond event or sentence, the jail release should make more sense. If the court file shows a mittimus or transfer, CDOC or another agency may be the next source.

Request a Jail Release Record

A narrow request is the strongest request. Ask for records of official action and the jail release or discharge entry for the named person. Include the full name, date of birth if known, booking date, case number, and booking number if available. The requested fields should be specific: booking date, release date and time, release type or reason, release authority, charges, bond information, receiving agency if transferred, and booking photograph if releasable.

Colorado criminal-justice records law treats official action differently from broad investigative files. The research notes that official action includes release from custody, while other criminal-justice records may be subject to custodian review, statutory limits, redaction, or fees. Medical details, juvenile material, sealed records, victim or witness information, and security-sensitive material can be restricted. A release entry is a strong public-record target, but it is still handled by the custodian that holds the jail file.

Where Releases Go Next

After Saguache County Jail, the next source depends on the release path. Bond, dismissal, time served, probation, or sentence completion should be reconciled with the court. State prison, parole, or discharge should be checked through CDOC. Colorado VINE can help around the time of a custody change if the data feed is available. Federal custody should be separated from state custody, and immigration custody should be checked through ICE only when a transfer or hold is actually involved.
