Conejos County Jail Overview
Conejos County Jail is the only detention facility identified in the Conejos County facility map. The official Conejos County Sheriff's Office page lists the jail as part of the sheriff's office contact block and gives a separate jail phone from the main sheriff office line. Sheriff Garth Crowther and Undersheriff Blake Crowther are named on the county page, and the sheriff's office is the jail operator for local adult detention.
The jail holds adults arrested or detained under Conejos County authority. That includes people booked after local arrests, people awaiting a first appearance or bond action, people held on warrants, people serving short county sentences, and people waiting for transport to court or another agency. A county job posting for detention deputy work describes core jail duties such as safekeeping prisoners, overseeing transport, testifying in court, and processing arrest and booking paperwork for detention and courts. That helps explain why a Conejos County Jail record can connect to both custody status and later court-file information.
Official county sources reviewed did not locate a separate jail website, public housing-unit chart, public mugshot profile, inmate mail policy, commissary vendor, phone vendor, or current county-rated capacity. Those gaps matter. The right way to use the Conejos County Jail custody search is to start with official county contacts and then move to court, CDOC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink only when the custody level points there.
Conejos County Jail Capacity
Conejos County does not publish a current rated jail capacity in the official searchable material reviewed. The county sheriff pages include a weekly statistics heading, but current jail population rows, average daily population, annual bookings, and a current bed rating were not located in indexed official text. The population figure should not be estimated from unofficial jail directories.
A federal source gives one narrow historical facility figure. The U.S. DOJ/BJA VOI/TIS Colorado facility dataset lists Conejos County Jail with adult beds added through construction. That dataset is useful as a construction and bed-addition record, but it is not the same as a current county-rated capacity statement. A reader trying to confirm available beds, current population, or whether the jail is full should call the jail or sheriff office.
Conejos County's broader population context comes from U.S. Census QuickFacts for Conejos County, but Census data is not a jail count. It describes the county population, not the number of people in custody at Conejos County Jail.
Conejos County Jail Lookup
No official searchable Conejos County jail roster was located on the county site or in official search results. The county publishes the jail phone, sheriff office phone, visitation rules, bonding materials, and a record-request policy attachment through the Conejos County Sheriff's Office information page, but it does not expose a public name-search roster with public inmate profiles. Current custody questions should begin with the jail.
- Call Conejos County Jail at (719) 376-6778 for a current custody check. Have the person's full legal name ready.
- Give date of birth, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, or town if known. These details help staff distinguish similar names.
- If custody is confirmed but a record is needed, use the sheriff information page's Record Request Policy channel, the main sheriff office phone, mail, fax, or counter service.
- For court dates and filed charges, search the Colorado Judicial Branch docket search and select Conejos County or Conejos Combined Court where appropriate.
- If the person has been sentenced to state prison, use the CDOC Offender Search System instead of the county jail.
- For federal sentenced custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator. For immigration custody, use ICE ODLS.
A jail phone lookup is not the same as a complete booking record. If the question involves a mugshot, booking sheet, incident report, or older jail record, the records-request process is the better path. Colorado CBI guidance on criminal-justice records also points requesters back to the agency that holds the arrest or jail record.
Conejos County Jail Contact
The jail and sheriff office share the same physical facility address on the county sheriff page, while the mailing address is listed separately. Public lobby and sheriff office hours are posted as weekday business hours except holidays. Call ahead before traveling for custody, records, bond, or visitation because jail operations can change when court transport, staffing, emergencies, or holds are involved.

Conejos County Jail Visits
Visitation is the most detailed jail service published in the official county sources reviewed. The sheriff information page says visits are by appointment only and visitors must call ahead to reserve a time slot. It also limits each visitor to a short visit window and limits the number of visitors per inmate. The posted guideline includes one-person lobby limits and directs visitors to wait outside when not visiting.
The official sheriff information page displays the county visitation, bonding, weekly statistics, and record request sections.
The screenshot is useful because Conejos County Jail visitation rules are posted on the sheriff information page rather than on a separate jail roster portal.

Conejos County Jail Mail
Conejos County does not publish detailed inmate mail rules, phone vendor rules, video-visit vendor information, commissary provider information, online deposit links, kiosk rules, or deposit fee schedules in the official online sources reviewed. Do not assume that a third-party jail-commerce site has current local rules. Call the jail before sending mail, money, property, photos, or packages.
| Service | Official Status | Practical Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate mail policy | Not located in official searchable sources | Call (719) 376-6778 before mailing letters, photos, or packages |
| Phone provider | Not located in official searchable sources | Ask the jail how inmates can place calls |
| Video visitation provider | Not located in official searchable sources | Use the published in-person appointment rules unless jail staff gives a current video option |
| Commissary vendor | Not located in official searchable sources | Ask the jail whether commissary is available and how funds are accepted |
| Online deposit URL | Not located in official searchable sources | Do not send funds through an unverified vendor |
| Deposit fees | Not located in official searchable sources | Confirm any fee, limit, or receipt rule with jail staff |
For people transferred from Conejos County Jail to state prison, county jail mail and money rules stop applying. CDOC has its own statewide policies, facility approval processes, and money/mail instructions through the Colorado Department of Corrections.
Conejos County Jail Distinctions
Conejos County Jail is local custody. It is not a Colorado Department of Corrections prison, a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility, or an ICE detention center. The correct lookup system depends on where the person is held and why. A person may start in the county jail after arrest, move through court, then leave the county system after release, bond, dismissal, sentence completion, transfer, or a state or federal hold.
| Custody Type | Who It Covers | Lookup Path |
|---|---|---|
| Conejos County Jail | Adults held for local arrests, pretrial detention, warrants, holds, short county sentences, and court transport | Call Conejos County Jail; use sheriff records request for booking records |
| Colorado state prison | People sentenced to CDOC after felony conviction or transferred into state custody | Search CDOC Offender Search System |
| Federal sentenced custody | People serving federal sentences in BOP custody | Search the BOP Inmate Locator |
| Immigration detention | Adults in ICE detention or moved after an immigration hold | Search ICE ODLS by A-Number or exact biographical data |
| Notifications | Custody-status alerts where the record is available | Use Colorado VINELink |
Booking charges are not always the final court charges. The jail may receive the person and process arrest paperwork, while the prosecutor later files, changes, or dismisses charges in court. For a deeper custody-record route, use Conejos County Jail Inmate Records with the jail phone, records request, and docket search together.
Conejos County Jail Booking
Official county material does not publish a step-by-step booking manual, but county job language and state court structure show the basic pathway. After an arrest or warrant contact in Conejos County, the arresting agency may transport the person to Conejos County Jail for local detention. Jail staff safeguard the person, process identifying and arrest paperwork, manage custody, and may transport the person to court. Fingerprints, photographs, property handling, and screening are part of normal jail intake, but the county did not publish a public detail sheet for those steps.
After booking, the next records may split. Custody status remains with the jail. Court dates, filed charges, and case numbers move through Colorado Judicial Branch docket and court-record channels after filing. Bond can change by court order, and a release may still be blocked by another hold or warrant. Because no official Conejos County online roster was located, a missing web result should not be treated as proof that the person was never booked.
- Booking
- The jail intake event after arrest, including identity, paperwork, and custody processing.
- Hold
- A custody flag that may prevent release until a warrant, court order, or agency issue is cleared.
- Detainer
- Notice that another agency may want custody after the local case or release issue ends.
- PR bond
- Personal recognizance release based on a promise to appear, sometimes with extra conditions.
Conejos County Jail Directions
Use the jail address for visitation, jail business, and custody questions. Do not use the Conejos Combined Court address unless the task is a court appearance, jury matter, filing, or court-record request. Visitors coming from the Conejos, La Jara, Alamosa, Antonito, or New Mexico side should confirm the route and public entrance before leaving because the county did not publish jail-specific parking, transit, locker, or ADA visitor-entry details in the official jail sources reviewed.
Note: Confirm custody, visit approval, and the appointment time with Conejos County Jail before traveling to the facility.
