The Douglas County Sheriff's Office updates its records regularly. New bookings show up within hours of processing.

Booking and Release in Parker
When someone is arrested in Parker, they get taken to a Douglas County detention facility for booking. This may be in Castle Rock or Highlands Ranch depending on where space is available. Booking includes fingerprints, photos, a health check, and a criminal history search. This process takes two to six hours depending on how busy the jail is. Staff enter the person's name and charges into the system, which creates the Parker jail roster entry. Once the booking is complete, family and friends can call the Detentions division to confirm the person is in custody and find out the charges and bond amount.
Bond is set by a judge or magistrate, usually within 24 hours of arrest. For some common charges, there is a set bond schedule, so the person knows the bond amount right away. For serious crimes, the person has to wait for a bond hearing. Call the Detentions division at 303-660-7505 to ask about bond amounts for someone on the Parker jail roster. To post bond, you can pay cash at the jail, use a bondsman, or arrange a property bond. Cash bonds get returned after the case ends if the person shows up for court. Bondsmen charge a fee, usually 10 to 15 percent, and you do not get that fee back.
Release can happen a few hours after bond is posted, or it can take longer if the jail is busy. Once released, the person still has court dates to attend. If they miss a court date, the bond gets forfeited and a warrant goes out. You can call the Detentions division again to see if the person got re-arrested on a warrant. The new booking will show up as "Failure to Appear" or "Warrant Arrest" on the Parker jail roster. Staff can tell you the new charges and bond amount if there is a re-arrest.
Inmate Services in Parker
The Douglas County detention facilities offer several services for inmates and families. Visitation, phone calls, and mail are the main ways to stay in touch with someone on the Parker jail roster. All of these services have rules you must follow. Break the rules and you may lose access to the inmate for a while. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office posts rules on their website, so check dcsheriff.net before you visit or send anything to an inmate.
Visitation may be in person or by video depending on the housing unit and current jail policies. You must be on the inmate's approved visitor list before you show up. To get approved, the inmate submits a request to jail staff with your name and info. Staff check your background and either approve or deny the request. This can take a few days. Once approved, you can schedule a visit by calling 303-660-7505 and asking for the Detentions division. Visits last 20 to 30 minutes in most cases. Bring a photo ID when you visit someone at a Douglas County facility from the Parker jail roster.
Inmates can make phone calls but cannot receive them. They use the jail phone system to call out. All calls are collect or pre-paid through an inmate phone account. Family members set up the account online and add money to it. Then the inmate calls out using the account balance. All calls are recorded except calls to lawyers. Do not talk about the case or anything that could hurt the defense during these calls. Prosecutors sometimes use recorded calls as evidence in Parker and across Colorado.
You can send mail to an inmate at Douglas County. Use the Castle Rock address unless told otherwise:
- Inmate Name, Booking Number
- Douglas County Detention Facility
- 4000 Justice Way
- Castle Rock, CO 80109
Do not send cash or gifts in the mail. Send money orders only if the jail allows it, or use the inmate account services to deposit funds electronically. Mail gets screened before inmates see it. Staff remove anything that breaks jail rules. Letters usually arrive in one to three days if sent from Colorado. Out-of-state mail may take longer to reach an inmate on the Parker jail roster.
Colorado Laws on Jail Records
Colorado law requires all jails to keep daily records and make them public. This is in C.R.S. § 17-26-118. The law says the keeper of each jail must maintain a daily record with the inmate's name, date of entrance, date of birth, race, ethnicity, gender, charges, bond amount, and release date. The record must be available to the public at all reasonable hours. This is why you can call and ask about someone on the Parker jail roster any time. The law also defines "confined inmate" to include anyone under jail supervision, even if they are in court, in transit, or at a hospital but would otherwise be in the jail.
Colorado also has the Criminal Justice Records Act at C.R.S. § 24-72-301 et seq.. This law says "records of official action" are open unless sealed by a court. Records of arrest, charging, and disposition fall under this rule. Most arrest info is public, but some details can be withheld if the agency does a balancing test and decides the public interest is outweighed by privacy or safety concerns. In practice, basic booking info like what you get when you call about the Parker jail roster is almost always public. You can request more detailed records from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office under Colorado's Open Records Act.
Juvenile records are not public. If someone under 18 is in a Douglas County detention facility (which is rare), you will not be able to get information about them. Colorado law at C.R.S. § 19-1-304 keeps juvenile records sealed except in limited situations. Most juveniles go to a separate juvenile detention center, not the adult jail. If you cannot find a young person on the Parker jail roster, they may be in the juvenile system instead.
