Inmate worker programs let inmates gain work experience while in custody. Workers help with kitchen duties, cleaning, and other tasks around the jail.

Bond Information for Boulder County

Bond amounts are set by a judge or according to a bond schedule. The bond schedule lists standard amounts for common charges. Judges can raise or lower bond based on factors like criminal history, flight risk, and the seriousness of the crime. You can find bond information for a specific inmate using the online lookup tool in Boulder County.

Several types of bonds are available. Cash bonds require paying the full amount upfront. You get the money back after the case ends, minus any fines or fees the court imposes. Property bonds use real estate as collateral. The property value must equal or exceed the bond amount. Bondsmen charge a fee, usually 10 to 15 percent of the total bond, to post bail on your behalf. That fee is not refundable.

Visit the bond information page at bouldercounty.gov/safety/jail/booking-and-bond-definitions to learn more about bond types and procedures. You can also call the jail at 303-441-4650 to ask about a specific inmate's bond. Staff can tell you how much is owed and how to pay it in Boulder County.

Requesting Mugshots and Records

Mugshots are not available through the online jail listing. Requests for mugshots require submitting a records request to the Sheriff's Office. The request must state what records you need and why you need them. Some requests are granted quickly, while others take time to process. Fees may apply for copies of photos and documents in Boulder County.

Colorado Jail Records Law

Colorado law requires sheriffs to keep detailed jail records. C.R.S. § 17-26-118 sets the standards for what must be recorded and who can access it. Sheriffs must log all inmates, including names, booking dates, charges, and release dates. These records are public, which means anyone can request access to them in Boulder County.

You do not need a reason to request jail records. Submit a request through the county's website or visit the Sheriff's Office in person. Some records may be withheld if releasing them would harm an ongoing investigation or violate privacy rights. But most booking information is open to the public. Fees may apply for copies, especially if the request covers many pages.

Inmates have rights under Colorado law as well. They must be given access to medical care, legal counsel, and a process to challenge their detention. Colorado Revised Statutes protect these rights, and inmates can file complaints if the jail violates them. Advocacy groups monitor conditions in Boulder County jails to make sure rules are followed.
