Douglas County Jail Roster Overview
The official local route is the DCSO inmate hub, which links to the Douglas County Inmate Inquiry. The public inquiry is a New World / CAD portal for Douglas County jail custody. It is meant for people held by the Douglas County Detention Center, including arrestees, pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, no-bond holds, work-release participants, and some adult federal detainees housed by agreement.
The roster is not a statewide prison database. Once a Douglas County defendant is sentenced to the Colorado Department of Corrections, the county jail roster may no longer be the right place to look. The same is true for federal and immigration custody. Use the county roster first for current DCSO custody, then move to CDOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, or court records when the facts point outside the county jail.
The DCSO inmate hub shows the county's main inmate information links, including Detention, Booking, mail, bond, commissary, and Inmate Inquiry.
Use that hub as the starting point before trying a nonofficial inmate search result.
Use the Douglas County Inmate Roster
The Douglas County Inmate Inquiry was blocked from direct inspection during research by a Cloudflare challenge, but official snippets exposed the main search fields and result columns. Search broad first. Duplicate names are common, and a subject number or booking number is much better than a name when one is available from DCSO, court paperwork, or a bond company.
- Open the DCSO inmate hub and select Inmate Inquiry, or use the official CAD inmate inquiry URL.
- Enter the person's name if no booking number or subject number is known.
- Add a booking date range if the arrest date is known.
- Use In Custody or Housing Facility filters if the portal exposes them during the search.
- Open the result by name when the portal allows it, then confirm custody, bond, housing, and booking details through DCSO if needed.
If the portal fails, call Detention at 303-660-7559 or Booking at 303-660-7550. For document copies or older material, use the inmate-records request route instead of relying on the live roster alone.
Douglas County Roster Search Fields
The roster field list below is based on official indexed snippets from the Douglas County CAD inmate inquiry. Because the portal could not be fully inspected, the "required" column stays conservative. Do not assume a field is required unless the official portal displays that rule to the user.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Unspecified | Use broad spelling when unsure. |
| Subject Number | Text | Unspecified | Person-level jail identifier. |
| Booking Number | Text | Unspecified | Booking-event identifier, useful for exact matches. |
| In Custody | Checkbox or dropdown | Unspecified | Can help separate current jail custody from released records. |
| Booking From Date | Date | Unspecified | Start of booking date range. |
| Booking To Date | Date | Unspecified | End of booking date range. |
| Housing Facility | Dropdown or text | Unspecified | Exact options were not captured. |
Douglas County Inmate Profile Fields
DCSO states jail records include booking, charging, housing, and probable-cause information. Official snippets from the public inquiry show result columns for Name, In Custody, Gender, and Multiple Bookings. The DCSO bond page says bond information can be found through Inmate Inquiry, which supports using the portal for release questions. Full record fields still may require a public-records request.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Public result name shown in official snippets. |
| In Custody | Current jail custody status indicator. |
| Gender | Result column shown in official snippets. |
| Multiple Bookings | Result column that may show more than one booking event. |
| Subject Number | Person identifier used by the jail system. |
| Booking Number | Identifier for a specific booking. |
| Housing Facility | Housing information named by DCSO as part of jail records. |
| Bond | DCSO says the bond amount can be found through Inmate Inquiry. |
| Booking Photo | DCSO takes a photo during booking; public display in the portal was not verified. |
| Probable Cause | DCSO names probable-cause information as part of jail records, subject to request and redaction. |
Request Douglas County Jail Records
When the online Douglas County inmate records search does not show enough detail, use the DCSO inmate records request page. DCSO says jail records include booking, charging, housing, and probable-cause information. Requests can be submitted through the online records portal, by downloadable form through mail, or in person at the records counter. Medical and mental-health records need the WellPath medical release form.
The online records portal includes a Jail Records Request type. Captured fields include incident date, inmate number, first and last name, date of birth, request details, comments, requester name, company, address, phone, email, and confirmation email. The downloadable form includes checkboxes for Booking Card, Booking Photo, Booking Report, Jail Medical Records, Jail Video, Jail Incidents, Jail Kites/Grievances, and Other.
| Request Item | Douglas County Detail |
|---|---|
| Receipt timing | DCSO says it will contact the requester within 72 business hours to verify receipt. |
| Records phone | 303-660-7524 for inmate-records request status. |
| Records email | cjra@dcsheriff.net for jail records. |
| Mail or counter address | DCSO Records, 4000 Justice Way, Castle Rock, CO 80109. |
| Redactions | Protected information may be removed before release. |
| Payment | Fees and associated costs must be paid before records are released. |
Booking Records in Douglas County
DCSO says arrested people are brought to the jail at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center. Deputies interview the arrestee, complete paperwork, take a booking photograph, take fingerprints, and collect a DNA sample with a mouth swab. Booking can take several hours. During booking, arrestees receive a limited number of free calls to attorneys, family, friends, and bondsmen.
After booking, the person may post bond if eligible or move to a housing area to remain through the court process. If a judge does not allow bond, DCSO says the inmate is seen by a judge or magistrate the following day. The booking record is not the same as the court case record. For the case that follows an arrest, use the Colorado Judicial Branch docket and Douglas County Combined Courts records process, or the court records after a jail arrest page.
Find County, State, and Federal Inmates
The Douglas County roster covers the county jail. The Colorado.gov Find an Inmate service covers Colorado Department of Corrections prisoners after state sentencing. The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to present. The ICE Online Detainee Locator covers current ICE detainees and CBP custody over 48 hours, but it does not search minors.
| Custody | Where to Look | Key Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or local sentence | DCSO Inmate Inquiry | Douglas County jail custody only. |
| State prison sentence | Colorado.gov / CDOC locator | Not a county jail roster. |
| Federal sentence | BOP inmate locator | Release dates may change after sentence review. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | A-number or biographical rules apply. |
| Release notification | VINELink | Notification channel, not the county roster. |
The Douglas County Sheriff app was located in both major app stores, but the store text did not advertise an inmate roster, warrant search, or mugshot lookup. Treat it as a public-safety communication app unless DCSO publishes a specific inmate-search feature.

DCSO uses JailATM for video visitation. Public users register through JailATM, initiate a digital messaging or video request, and must upload a government ID and a recent photo for review. Prescheduled on-site video visitation in the Detention Lobby's Video Visitation Center is no-cost. Unscheduled walk-in on-site visitation is not available.

Mail and Money for Douglas County Inmates
Douglas County personal mail does not use the jail street address. DCSO routes personal mail through a Jonesboro, Arkansas P.O. Box with the inmate's name and Global ID number. DCSO says the Global ID is a six- or seven-digit number and is not the booking number. Legal mail and money orders use the jail street address with the inmate name and booking number.

|---|---|
| Personal mail | Douglas County Sheriff's Office, Inmate Name and Global ID Number, P.O. Box 16120, Jonesboro, AR 72401. |
