Lookup Gunnison County Detention Center Inmates

Gunnison County Detention Center Overview

The Gunnison County Detention Center is the county detention facility at the Gunnison County Public Safety Center. The official Detention Services page says the jail maintains a county detention facility equal to or exceeding C.R.S. 17-26-101 through 17-26-120. It handles care, custody, safekeeping, confinement, judicial orders, transports, extraditions, court-ordered fingerprinting, roster publication, visitation coordination, inmate money, commissary, bail deposits, property, and alternative-sentence paperwork.

The facility is a county jail, not a Colorado state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center. The current roster can show pretrial status, sentenced status, sentence length or credit, in-county warrants, out-of-county warrants, and holds. Work release and weekender programs apply only where the court authorizes them and the jail approves the participant under local rules.

Gunnison County Detention Center Population

Official sources did not publish a rated capacity for the Gunnison County Detention Center. The current jail population is visible through the roster count printed on the Inmate Status Report. The 05/30/2026 report inspected in the research listed 18 total inmates, while a 05/25/2026 report listed 22 total inmates. Those are daily snapshots, not a fixed bed count or average daily population.

Classification drives housing and privileges inside the jail. The inmate handbook states that a deputy normally makes initial classification, housing, and privilege decisions within 72 hours of arrival. A classification change can move an inmate to a different housing area and can affect privileges.

Look Up Gunnison County Detention Center Inmates

Use the county roster for current Gunnison County Detention Center custody. The roster is a PDF Inmate Status Report from the Gunnison County Sheriff's Office, not an interactive database. It has no public first-name, last-name, date-of-birth, booking-number, or facility-search fields. A missing name on the PDF should be checked through the jail phone line or another custody system before drawing a conclusion.

1. Open the Detention Services page and select the Inmate Daily Roster PDF.
2. Check the roster print date and time to confirm the report is current enough for the need.
3. Use the PDF viewer's find tool for a last name, first name, inmate number, charge, or court label.
4. Read every row grouped under the inmate's name, including total bond and disposition/status.
5. Call detention staff at (970) 641-1108 if the person is not listed or the bond/hold status is unclear.

Gunnison County Detention Roster Fields

The roster gives enough information to identify many current custody issues, but it does not replace a booking file or court record. Charge rows can wrap across PDF lines, and a single person can have several courts, dates, bond amounts, and dispositions. Do not stop at the first row under a name.

Gunnison County Detention Center Contact

The jail and sheriff's office share the Public Safety Center address. Jail voicemail is described by the county as available 24/7, while the sheriff's office counter hours are split between morning and afternoon business windows. Call ahead before visiting for records, fingerprinting, professional visits, property, bond, or accessibility questions.

Gunnison Detention Services Page

The official Gunnison County Detention Services page shows the jail roster link, visitation status, money and bail links, booking-fee note, and jail administrator contact.

This source connects the roster, InmateCanteen services, and jail phone information to the same facility rather than treating them as separate county systems.

Visiting Gunnison County Detention Center

The county's current Detention Services page states that there is no in-person visitation until further notice and directs users to InmateCanteen for online video visitation. The inmate handbook still lists on-site and off-site video windows, so the safer reading is to distinguish in-person visiting from video visiting and confirm current access before scheduling.

Visits are a privilege and can be canceled or denied for safety, security, dress, rule violations, emergencies, or staff discretion. Professional visitors may be restricted while detention staff verify credentials. Inmates are not necessarily told about visits or woken up for visits.

Mail Phone and Money

Personal incoming mail is opened, inspected for contraband, photocopied, and the original is placed in the inmate's property. Legal mail is opened and inspected in front of the inmate. Inmate-to-inmate or correctional-facility mail is not allowed. Outgoing mail must have the inmate's full name in the return address.

Phone calls are limited to 15 minutes. Verified attorney calls are not monitored, while personal calls are monitored and recorded. Calls to bonding companies are not treated as legal calls. Phones may be unavailable during meals, cleanup, lights-out, or security needs.

Booking Bond and Release

Everyone booked into the Gunnison County Detention Center is charged a $30 booking fee. The handbook says a person cannot bond until intake is complete, and release will not occur until a PBT result is .000 where that requirement applies. Bond types named in the handbook include cash, surety or professional bondsman, property bond, PR bond, and no-bond or hold situations.

Work Release and Jail Programs

The jail handbook and alternative-sentence packets provide several local details. AA and church services are named, library access is a weekend privilege, law library resources are available at the facility and on a kiosk, and grievance requests can be submitted through the kiosk or KITE process. Program access depends on classification and conduct.

Work and school release are for nonviolent sentenced inmates who qualify. The packet says the completed materials must be turned in 7-10 days before the sentence starts. The court can authorize work release, but the jail decides whether the person qualifies. Work or school locations must be in Gunnison County and reachable by vehicle and phone. Ineligible jobs include bars, liquor stores, marijuana businesses, work from home, babysitting, door-to-door sales, adult entertainment, and child-care or day-care providers.
