Find Detention Facility Releases

Delta County Jail Releases

The Delta County Detention Facility, also called the Delta County Detention Center in local sources, is the county jail for local arrests, pretrial detention, short county sentences, warrant holds, bond releases, and transfers. It is operated by the Delta County Sheriff's Office at 555 Palmer Street in Delta. The jail phone number listed by the county is 970-874-2021, and that phone route matters because the county research did not find an official online jail roster, 24-hour release list, 72-hour release list, or booking-photo feed on the current county site.

A release from this jail can mean several things. One person may leave after a cash bond, surety bond, personal-recognizance order, time served, sentence completion, dismissed charge, cleared warrant, or court order. Another person may leave Delta County custody because another agency takes custody. That second event is a transfer, not a clean community release, and the next search may be CDOC, another county, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, ICE, or a court docket.

Confirm Delta County Release

Delta County's official jail page supports a phone-first route for recent custody questions. It tells users to call the detention number to find the bond type for a specific person. It also lists the identifiers needed for credit-card bond payment: full name, name number, booking number, date of birth, and case number. Those same identifiers are useful when asking whether a person was booked, released, transferred, or still waiting for funds to post.

1. Call Delta County Detention Facility at 970-874-2021 when the release may have happened recently.
2. Use the person's full name and date of birth, and add the booking number, name number, or case number if available.
3. Check the Colorado Judicial Branch docket search for the Delta County case, bond status, disposition, sentence, or warrant activity.
4. Search Colorado VINE if a custody-status alert or custody-change result is needed.
5. Submit a Sheriff's Records Management request when a formal jail record, release date, release type, or booking photo is needed.

The jail route should not be confused with the statewide prison route. If the person was sentenced to the Colorado Department of Corrections or released from Delta Correctional Center, use CDOC records instead of the county jail. If the county jail says the person was transferred, the receiving system controls the next custody status. The Delta County released inmates hub explains the full multi-system search path for a named person.

County bond materials add one more local release fact. Delta County's bond-rights page says bond fees, booking fees, and other debts are not required to secure release on a money bond, and it describes a general six-hour release rule after qualifying cash-bond or PR-bond conditions are met, unless extraordinary circumstances exist. It also notes an electronic-monitoring fitting exception that can allow up to 24 hours.

Detention Records Contact

The detention facility is the first contact for current custody and very recent release questions. Sheriff's Records Management is the formal records custodian for Sheriff's Office jail records, reports, photos, 911 dispatch recordings, and related criminal-justice records in the agency's custody. Delta County's Records Search page separates those sheriff records from court records, which belong to the Colorado Judicial Branch.

A records request should name the person, date of birth, booking number if known, case number if known, and the specific fields being requested. Useful fields include booking date, release date and time, release reason, bond type, bond amount, hold status, destination if transferred, and any releasable booking photo. Records may be redacted or withheld where Colorado criminal-justice records law allows.

Delta Jail Record Fees

Delta County's Records Management page provides practical fee detail for people seeking jail records or booking photos. The county says all records requests must be made to the Records Division. A nonrefundable research fee is due before a search begins, and added charges may apply if the request takes longer, includes more pages, or asks for photos or recordings.

Fees must be paid before records are released. The fee schedule supports a specific request, not a broad search for every person released from jail. A narrow request is also easier to route. Ask for a jail booking and release record for a named person, with the booking or case identifiers that Delta County uses in its bond-payment instructions.

Delta Court Release Proof

The court record often explains why the jail released a person. Delta County Combined Court may show bond, personal-recognizance release, disposition, sentence, probation order, warrant status, or case closure. The jail record is still needed for the physical release timestamp, but the court docket gives the legal reason behind the release. That distinction is important when a jail phone check confirms that a person is gone but does not explain what happened in the case.

The Delta County Records Search page says court records are maintained by the Colorado Judicial Branch, not county government. Use the Colorado Judicial Branch docket search for public docket checks, and use the clerk route for records that are not available online. Delta County Combined Court is located at 501 Palmer Street #338 in Delta.

When a jail release is tied to probation, the local probation office may later be the source that confirms supervision. That is separate from CDOC parole. Probation follows a court order. Parole follows state-prison custody. The Delta County Probation Office page explains that local post-release supervision route.

Delta Facility Context

Delta County has a distinctive facility mix. The county jail and Delta Correctional Center are both local to Delta County, but they serve different custody systems. The jail is the sheriff-operated local detention point. Delta Correctional Center is a Colorado Department of Corrections state-prison facility. A person physically released in Delta County may therefore be a county-jail release or a CDOC release, and the records path changes with that distinction.

The county's April 25, 2025 facility item says the Delta County Detention Facility expansion and remodel had been completed and that the newly remodeled ground floor opened April 22, 2025, fully operational for inmate processing. That local item is useful context for the jail, but it does not create an online release feed or a public roster. The right conclusion is narrower: the facility is the local jail processing point, while release confirmation still depends on jail contact, records, court, VINE, and any receiving agency.

Delta County's detention page is the source for the jail's address and phone route.

The county detention page supports the local jail contact path, while formal release records are handled through the Sheriff's records process.

Release Terms Used Here

Several short terms appear in Delta County release records, bond papers, and court dockets. Their meaning affects where to search next.

Bond release

A person leaves jail after the required bond condition is met, but the criminal case may continue in court.

Time served

The court or jail record shows the custody time satisfied the sentence or custody requirement.

Transfer

Delta County custody ends because another agency takes custody; this is not the same as release to the community.

Probation

Court supervision after a local case, checked through the court and probation office.

Parole

Post-prison supervision after CDOC custody, checked through CDOC and parole sources.

Note: Use the jail for recent custody, the court for the legal outcome, and Sheriff's Records Management for a formal release record.
