Garfield County Jail Roster
The Garfield County current inmates page links to a public PDF roster maintained by the Sheriff's Office. The page states that the report is for reference only and updates automatically every two hours. For the most current custody status, the sheriff directs users to contact the jail at 970-945-0453. If the roster link has a problem or appears stale, the page gives a sheriff email route for notice.
The current inmate roster is useful for custody status, recent bookings, recent releases, and basic charge descriptions. It is not a full court file. A person may appear on the Garfield County inmate list before the prosecutor files formal charges or before the docket reflects later hearings. For filed charges, pleas, dispositions, and sentence orders, the court record route is separate from the jail roster.
The official current inmates page is the source for the roster link and update warning.
The screenshot reinforces that Garfield County inmate records begin with a PDF roster and phone verification, not a full searchable booking portal.
Use the Garfield County Inmate Roster
The roster workflow is simple, but it is different from a form-based inmate lookup. Open the Sheriff's current inmates page, select the PDF, and use the browser or PDF viewer search tool to locate a name. Review both the current-custody and recent-release sections because a person may have been released after booking. Then call the jail if timing, bond, release, or transport status matters.
- Open the Garfield County current inmates page and select the current inmates PDF link.
- Use the PDF viewer find function to search by last name, first name, or booking number if known.
- Check whether the person appears under current inmates, recent arrests, or recent releases.
- Review the bond or open-status field, booking date, charge descriptions, and days in custody.
- Call 970-945-0453 for current status before travel, payment, or release planning.
Garfield County Inmate Search Fields
The Garfield County roster has no web search form. The fields below are the public roster fields captured from the PDF and related sheriff research. They are search cues inside the PDF and verification cues for a phone call, not required boxes on a database screen.

| Current Inmates | PDF section | n/a | Browse for people currently listed in custody. |
| Recent Arrests | PDF section | n/a | Shows recent bookings by name, gender, and booking date. |

What Garfield County Inmate Records Show
The current inmates PDF gives a narrow custody snapshot. It showed name, age, gender, booking date, days in custody, booking number, bond amount or release status, and charge descriptions. It did not show mugshots, height, weight, eye color, hair color, race, full date of birth, arresting agency, court date, judge, magistrate, or housing pod in the captured roster research.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Report timestamp | The roster heading with the "as of" time for the PDF. |
| Name and age | The person listed in current custody, recent arrest, or recent release sections. |
| Gender | Male or female as shown in the roster. |
| Booking date | The date the person was booked into the Garfield County facility. |
| Days in custody | A calculated custody count in the PDF. |
| Bond or release status | A dollar amount, open status, or release date, depending on the entry. |
| Charges | Visible descriptions such as failure to appear, DUI, restraining-order violation, burglary, writ, or fugitive wording. |
Note: A jail charge description is not the same as a final conviction or full sentence order.
Garfield County Jail Facility
The main Garfield County jail and administration building is next to the downtown Glenwood Springs government cluster. Patrol and detentions are staffed around the clock, and the jail hours note refers to 24/7 access at the bondsman door. The Sheriff's Annex and Records office in Rifle handles records functions during weekday business hours and is a separate office from the jail.

The Garfield County jail overview describes objective jail classification, direct and indirect supervision pods, special-needs areas, and medical observation or isolation.
Those housing details explain why the public roster does not show every internal classification or pod detail.
Booking and Custody Records
Booking starts the jail-side record. The sheriff's research describes the facility's use of the U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Corrections Objective Jail Classification Point System. Classification levels include inmate worker, minimum, medium, maximum, special needs, and medical observation or isolation. Those terms affect jail operations, not public court outcomes.
A person arrested in Garfield County may later have a state court file, a municipal court file, or a case outside the county. For formal charges and case outcomes, use the court record/document request form or docket search. For a closer look at the arrest-to-charges path, the related Garfield County arrest records and charges content separates jail booking from prosecutor-filed charges.
Garfield County Inmate Visitation
Garfield County jail visitation research found public video visitation booths in the jail reception room on the north side of the building. The official page states that booths are first come, first served, each visit is 15 minutes, and each visitor may visit one inmate per day. The same captured page included a COVID-19 alert stating that public visitation booths were closed until further notice, so current rules should be confirmed before arriving.
| Visit Type | Schedule or Rule | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Public video visitation booths | First come, first served | Jail reception room, north side of building. |
| Visit length | 15 minutes | Public page states each visit lasts 15 minutes. |
| Daily limit | One inmate per day | Confirm visitor and inmate rules before travel. |
| Closure status | Public booths listed as closed until further notice in captured page | Call the jail for current access. |
| Attorney or privileged visits | Schedule not located in official public sources | Contact jail/booking for current attorney rules. |
The official Garfield County inmate visitation page is the source for booth rules and visit length.
Because the visitation page included closure language, phone confirmation is part of a reliable Garfield County inmate-record workflow.
Contact a Garfield County Inmate
Mail to a Garfield County facility inmate must go through the U.S. Postal Service. Hand-delivered mail is not accepted. Non-privileged mail is opened, converted to digital form, reviewed for safety, security, or criminal activity, and then made available on a tablet if approved. Privileged mail follows separate rules and should be handled through the jail's current process.
The Garfield County inmate mail and contact rules page is the official source for the USPS and tablet-scanning process.
Those mail rules also explain why sending paper directly to a housing unit should not be assumed.
Garfield County Inmate Funds
Inmate account deposits use Access Corrections. Official research lists four deposit options: online at Access Corrections, the Access Corrections mobile app, phone deposits at 1-866-345-1884, and a kiosk in the jail reception or visitation room. Fees may apply, and debts owed by inmates may be collected from deposits. The public source did not publish a commissary price list, phone-rate schedule, tablet-price schedule, or holiday schedule.
| Deposit Option | Official Detail |
|---|---|
| Online | Use www.accesscorrections.com. |
| Mobile app | Use the Access Corrections Mobile App. |
| Phone | Call 1-866-345-1884. |
| Kiosk | Use the kiosk in jail reception or visitation room. |
| Fees and debts | Fees may apply; inmate debts may be collected from deposits. |
The Garfield County inmate funds page names the Access Corrections options.
Funds and custody records should be handled through the jail source, while criminal case documents remain with the court.
DOC and VINE Custody Checks
The county roster does not cover every custody situation. If a person has been sentenced to state prison, use the Colorado Department of Corrections offender search. If custody-notification is needed, the sheriff links Colorado VINE and lists the toll-free VINE number as 888-263-8463. VINE is for notification, not a court file or warrant list.
For jail-related reports, the Sheriff's Records Division maintains case report files, traffic tickets, statistical data, correspondence, sex offender registry material, and NIBRS data. Requests require a signed request form, photo ID copy, and payment before release. Some case reports cannot be released through sheriff records and may route to the District Attorney for discovery or the court for disposition and conviction records.
