El Paso County Jail Inmate Search, Booking & Visitation

Official El Paso County Inmate Search

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office offers a public inmate lookup using either a last name or booking number. A booking number can help distinguish people with similar names. Start with the official lookup rather than a third-party roster.

1. Open the official inmate search.
2. Enter the person's last name or booking number.
3. Review identifying details carefully.
4. For missing or uncertain information, contact the booking desk at 719-390-2151.

The Sheriff's Office explicitly cautions that search data should be verified with the booking desk before official action. A search result is not proof of guilt.

Jail Address, Booking Desk And Colorado Springs Locations

El Paso County Jail, also called the Criminal Justice Center in county materials, is at 2739 East Las Vegas Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80906. General jail information: 719-390-2000. Booking desk: 719-390-2151.

The Sheriff's administrative office is at 27 East Vermijo Avenue, a different location. The listed Video Visitation Center is at 2727 East Las Vegas Street, not 2739. Verify where you need to report before traveling.

What If A Recent Arrest Does Not Appear?

Arrest, booking, court appearance, transfer and release are different events. Someone arrested in Colorado Springs may not appear immediately in the county's public search. Check spelling, alternative surnames and any available booking number.

If the arrest was recent, call the booking desk to verify custody. If the person has been transferred or is serving a state-prison sentence, a county jail lookup may not be the appropriate source. Never assume that a missing online result proves release.

Visitation And Video Visits

The Sheriff's Office publishes video-visitation guidance and references JailATM for scheduling. Its visitor instructions discuss registration, government-issued photo identification and housing-related limits.

Some older official pages state that the Video Visitation Center was closed for upgrades, while other official materials describe onsite scheduling. Because this information may change, confirm current availability directly with the Sheriff's Office before arranging travel or paying for a visit.

The visitation center's published address is 2727 East Las Vegas Street, Colorado Springs. General jail questions: 719-390-2000.

Bond, Court Dates And Pretrial Release

Bond depends on the court order, charges, applicable law and other holds. Not every person is eligible to post a financial bond, and payment does not necessarily result in immediate release.

El Paso County Pretrial Services describes assessment and supervision for eligible personal-recognizance releases. A personal-recognizance bond is not the same as paying a cash bond.

Before paying, confirm the correct case, bond eligibility, amount, authorized payment method and whether another hold exists. The Sheriff's Office lists Fourth Judicial District court warrant information at 719-452-5000, option 6.

Inmate Funds, Mail And Phone Services

The Sheriff's Office provides distinct instructions for inmate deposits, correspondence, property and phone accounts. Its published funds guidance discusses accepted instruments and cautions against sending cash by mail. Personal checks are not accepted under that guidance.

Verify the current vendor, inmate identification requirements and correct mailing address before sending funds or correspondence. Do not assume the jail's street address is appropriate for personal mail.

Beware of people who unexpectedly contact you demanding payment for release or threatening consequences. Confirm payment instructions using official jail or court contacts.
