Fremont County 24 Hour Release List
No distinct official Fremont County page was found that publishes people released from the Fremont County Detention Center in a fixed 24-hour window. That is the main local fact to start with. The sheriff's Inmate Locator page is current-custody oriented. It sends individual searches to Colorado VINE and gives Intake/Booking as the phone path for current incarcerated individuals. It does not describe a public 24-hour release archive, a release-date column, or a rolling same-day jail release report.
That absence does not mean there is no release record. It means a same-day release must be confirmed through a chain of sources. A person released from the county jail may drop off the current custody result. The proof may then sit with the jail's booking or release record, a VINE custody-change notice, a court bond or disposition entry, or a sheriff CRIMEWATCH post that expressly says the person was released on bond.
Check Fremont County Same-Day Releases
The 24-hour workflow works best when it starts with custody, then moves to records. If the person may still be in the Fremont County Detention Center, check Colorado VINE through the sheriff locator path and call Intake/Booking at 719-276-5555 option 2 when the online status is unclear. If the person no longer appears, do not stop there. A released person often disappears from active custody tools before the written release record is available.
Next, review the sheriff's CRIMEWATCH Arrests / Jail Intakes page. That stream can show names, post dates, charges or warrant language, images or placeholders, and narratives. Some posts state that the person was released on personal-recognizance bond by the court. Treat that as a release clue for that post only. It is not a complete release list and should not be used as if every release appears there.
- Check the sheriff-linked VINE custody path for current status.
- Call Intake/Booking if a same-day release is expected but the record is unclear.
- Review CRIMEWATCH jail-intake posts for release wording in the narrative.
- Use the Colorado Judicial Branch docket for bond, appearance, sentence, or dismissal events.
- Request the sheriff release record when a formal release time, release reason, or booking sheet is needed.
- For a state-prison release, switch to CDOC rather than the county jail workflow.
For a named-person search that may involve more than a same-day jail release, use the Fremont County released-inmates search path. The home page separates county jail, state prison, federal prison, court, and VINE sources before narrowing the record.
Fremont County Release Fields
Because Fremont County does not publish a structured 24-hour release feed, there is no official online table with every same-day release field. The useful field list comes from the channels that do exist: CRIMEWATCH posts, sheriff records, court records, VINE, and CDOC for state-prison cases. A reader should know what each channel can show and what it leaves out.
| Channel or field | What it can show |
|---|---|
| CRIMEWATCH post name and date | Arrest or intake post headline, post date, charges or warrant wording, and narrative details. |
| CRIMEWATCH release wording | Some posts say a person was released on PR bond, but only for that post. |
| VINE custody status | Current custody or custody-change information where the Colorado VINE feed has updated. |
| Intake/Booking phone check | Immediate custody or booking-status clarification for the county jail. |
| Sheriff release record | Booking date, release date and time, release reason, bond type, case number, and receiving agency when available. |
| Court docket | Bond hearing, sentence, dismissal, probation order, warrant quash, or other case events. |
Fremont County Bond Release Timing
Fremont has unusually useful public bond information. The sheriff's Bonding Information page quotes C.R.S. 16-4-102 and explains why a person may be legally ready for release before the jail exit is complete. It says bond and booking debts do not have to be paid to secure release on money bond. The payor must pay the bond amount, not unrelated jail debts, to secure the bond release.
The same page says the sheriff must release a defendant within six hours after personal-recognizance bond is set and the defendant has returned to jail, or within six hours after cash bond is set, the defendant has returned to jail, and the defendant or surety has notified the jail that bond is ready. It also notes a possible 24-hour hold when required electronic monitoring must be fitted. This is not a 24-hour roster rule. It is a local timing rule that explains why a court release event and a jail departure may not happen at the same minute.
Fremont County CRIMEWATCH Posts
The sheriff's public web platform is CRIMEWATCH. Fremont Sheriff pages invite users to download the CRIMEWATCH app and follow the Fremont County Sheriff's Office. That makes the app and web platform a local discovery path for sheriff posts, images, and arrest or jail-intake narratives. It is especially useful when a post says the person was released on PR bond or when an image is attached to the public post.
Use the app and CRIMEWATCH site as post streams, not release rosters. A post may be published after the arrest event. A release line may be included in one narrative and missing from another. A thumbnail or image does not prove current custody, conviction, or release. The official release record still comes from the Sheriff's Records Division, while court events come from the Fremont Combined Court or Judicial Branch docket.
Fremont County Released vs Custody
The key difference is simple: current-custody tools answer who is held now, while a release record answers who left custody and why. The sheriff's locator language is aimed at current incarcerated individuals. A person released in the last 24 hours may no longer appear in that path even though the release just happened. That is why the same-day search must include Intake/Booking, VINE changes, the court docket, and sheriff records.
State-prison releases are separate. If the person was released from Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility, Arrowhead, Centennial, Colorado State Penitentiary, Fremont Correctional Facility, Four Mile, or another CDOC facility, use the CDOC Offender Search. Federal releases from USP Florence ADMAX, USP Florence High, or FCI Florence belong to BOP, not the Fremont County jail. Fremont County has several custody systems in the same geographic area, so the source must match the facility.
Fremont County Release Record Request
The formal fallback is the Sheriff's Records Division. The Records Division page says requests must be written, signed, and paired with a copy of the requester's state ID or driver's license. Requests can be emailed to records@fremontso.com, faxed to 719-276-5593 Attn: Records, mailed to the Sheriff's Office, or submitted in person. Records staff may ask for more detail before processing.
For a same-day release, include enough identifying facts to avoid a vague request: full name, known aliases, approximate booking date, arresting agency, case number if known, charge or warrant basis, and the exact record needed. Ask for the booking sheet, release log, release date and time, release reason, bond paperwork, or booking photograph if that is the record sought. The research notes that most case reports are generally available within 14 working days, and staff make an effort to respond within 3 business days of a request.
If one day is too narrow, the Jail Releases: 72 Hours page explains a wider check for weekend and multi-day lag. The 72-hour page still uses the same official-source limits because Fremont County has no dedicated three-day release feed either.
