Fremont County Detention Center Release Search

Releases from Fremont County Detention Center

Fremont County Detention Center is the one facility in this set where a Fremont County jail release is the correct starting point. The detention center is operated by the Fremont County Sheriff's Office at 100 Justice Center Road in Canon City. It is the local custody point for people booked after arrest, people waiting for bond or a first appearance, people serving short county sentences, people held on warrants, and people temporarily held for another agency. When someone is released from this jail, the person may leave for the community, return under court conditions, move into probation supervision, transfer to CDOC, move to another county, enter federal custody, or be released to an immigration process. Those outcomes do not all appear in the same public tool.

The official inmate-locator path is current-custody first. Fremont Sheriff materials direct individual current incarcerated-person searches to Colorado VINE or to Intake/Booking at 719-276-5555 option 2. That wording matters for a released-inmate search. A person who has already left the jail may drop from a current-custody result, and a no-result screen is not a complete release record. The stronger proof usually comes from a booking/release record, a court bond or disposition entry, a VINE custody-change notice, a CRIMEWATCH arrest/intake post that specifically says the person was released, or the next agency's system if the person was transferred.

For local bond releases, the Sheriff's bonding page is unusually specific. It cites C.R.S. 16-4-102 and explains that booking or bond-processing debts do not have to be paid to secure release on a money bond. It also describes the six-hour release rule after personal-recognizance or cash-bond readiness conditions are met, with a limited electronic-monitoring exception that can extend the physical release process up to 24 hours. That does not prove any particular release occurred, but it explains why a court may order release before the person has physically walked out of the detention center.

How to Confirm a Detention Center Release

Start with the system that matches the custody question. If you need to know whether the person is still in Fremont County jail custody, search Colorado VINE and call Intake/Booking at 719-276-5555 option 2. If VINE no longer shows the person and the booking was recent, ask booking staff whether the person was released, transferred, or still processing. If you need documentation, move to the Records Division rather than relying on a live-custody search.

1. Search Colorado VINE for current custody or release notification status.
2. Call Intake/Booking when the release should be immediate or when VINE looks stale.
3. Review the Fremont Sheriff CRIMEWATCH Jail Intakes page for any official post that mentions release on bond.
4. Search Fremont Combined Court or the Colorado Judicial Branch docket for bond, advisement, sentence, dismissal, mittimus, or probation entries.
5. Submit a written Sheriff Records Division request for the booking sheet, release date and time, release reason, or booking photograph.
6. If the record says transfer, search the receiving system: CDOC Offender Search, BOP Inmate Locator, ICE locator, or another county jail.

The broad search workflow on the Fremont County released inmates hub follows the same order. The important limit is that a current-custody tool is not a historical archive. For a formal release record, use the custodian that created the record: the Sheriff for the local jail release, the court for bond and case disposition, CDOC for a state-prison commitment or discharge, and BOP for a federal release.

Fremont County Detention Center Records and Contact

Records requests must be submitted in writing. The Sheriff's Records Division says the request form can be downloaded or picked up in person, and the request must include the requester's signature and a copy of a state ID or driver's license. Include the person's full name, aliases if known, date of birth if known, approximate booking date, arresting agency, case number, charge, and the exact record needed. Useful release-record terms include booking sheet, release log, release date and time, release reason, bond paperwork, and booking photograph.

Records can be requested by email, fax, mail, or in person. Mail goes to Fremont County Sheriff's Office, Attn: Records, 100 Justice Center Road, Canon City, CO 81212. The Records Division says a technician will make an effort to respond within 3 business days, most case reports are generally available within 14 working days, fees must be prepaid, and personal checks are not accepted. Some records may be redacted, delayed, unavailable, protected by a court order, or restricted by juvenile or sealed-record rules.

About the Detention Center

Fremont County is unusual because the county contains a local detention center, multiple Colorado Department of Corrections prisons, and the federal FCC Florence complex. The local jail page should therefore not be blended with CDOC or BOP release instructions. A person released from the Fremont County Detention Center is a sheriff jail release. A person released from Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility, Arrowhead, Centennial, Colorado State Penitentiary, Fremont Correctional, Four Mile, or Skyline is a state-prison release. A person released from USP Florence ADMAX, USP Florence High, or FCI Florence is a federal release.

The court record is often the durable companion record for a jail release. Fremont Combined Court is nearby at 136 Justice Center Road, Canon City, and court materials list courthouse hours as Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except state holidays, with the Clerk's Office closed for lunch from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. Court dockets may show bond hearing events, bond status, plea, sentence, dismissal, probation order, warrant quash, or mittimus details that explain why a release happened.

Correctional Capitol Context

Fremont County calls itself Colorado's Correctional Capitol because so many custody systems sit in or near Canon City and Florence. That local concentration is useful only if the searcher separates the systems. The detention center's release record belongs to the Sheriff's Office. CDOC release status belongs to the statewide offender search and state parole channels. Federal release status belongs to BOP and federal court records. When a jail record says a person was released to another agency, the next step is not a general web search; it is the receiving agency's locator or record custodian.

Keep the purpose narrow: verify custody status, understand a release event, request the official record, or follow a court or supervision process. The strongest Fremont County release check uses the official source that created the record.
