Alamosa County Jail Overview
Alamosa County Jail is operated by the Alamosa County Sheriff's Office. The official county jail page identifies the facility as the county jail and gives the public custody check route. It holds people arrested in Alamosa County who are waiting for booking completion, bond, first appearance, transfer, or service of an eligible local sentence. It is not a state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center.
The jail sits at 1315 17th Street in Alamosa, Colorado. Official sources reviewed list no separate county annex, work-release center, city jail, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center in Alamosa County. That makes Alamosa County Jail the single local detention facility for the sidebar and footer facility list.
Sheriff Robert Jackson is the elected sheriff named in the county's official staff directory. The Sheriff's Office is the local agency tied to jail custody, criminal-justice records requests, and jail operations. Court dates and filed charges move through the Colorado Judicial Branch, not through a county roster page.
Alamosa County Jail Capacity
The county jail page states that Alamosa County Jail is a 110-bed facility. That capacity is a building figure, not a live head count. The research did not locate an official county daily population dashboard, average daily population table, annual booking count, gender breakdown, or current overcrowding calculation. Without a current count, the facility page should not claim that the jail is over capacity or under capacity.

The county page supports the hard facility facts used here: jail identity, custody phone route, address, and stated capacity.
Alamosa County Jail Inmate Lookup
There is no official public online jail roster for Alamosa County Jail in the county sources reviewed. The county tells the public to call 719-589-6608 to find out whether someone is currently housed at the jail. That phone line is the official local path for current jail custody, including recent arrestees, pretrial detainees, people waiting for bond, and eligible local sentenced inmates.
Use full identifying details when calling. Ask whether the person is in intake, booked, released, transferred, or held on another agency warrant or detainer. If the jail confirms custody, ask what public information can be released about bond, charges, booking number, and next court date. If the person is not in the jail, move to the separate state, federal, immigration, and court tools.
- Call Alamosa County Jail at 719-589-6608.
- Provide the person's full name, date of birth or age, and arrest date if known.
- Ask whether the person is physically held at Alamosa County Jail or still in booking.
- Ask whether release, transfer, court, bond, or another agency hold affects the custody record.
- Use CDOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, or Colorado Judicial Branch records if the jail is not the right system.
Alamosa County Jail Contact
For facility questions, use the jail phone number and ask for the correct route before traveling or sending records requests. The sheriff page lists the Sheriff's Office public hours as Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but jail custody and visitation questions should still be confirmed directly with the jail. Non-emergency dispatch is separate from records copies and routine custody checks.

Visit Alamosa County Jail
The official Alamosa County visitation page lists in-person visit times and key rules. Visits are limited to 15 minutes. No more than two visitors are allowed per inmate per day. Adults must show a valid driver's license with photo or a photo identification card. Visitors under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The county visitation page also references video visitation. The research did not locate a confirmed video vendor, remote scheduling URL, or fee schedule. Before setting a visit, call the jail to confirm the inmate is eligible, the visit has not been canceled by lockdown or emergency, and the current video visit process is still the same.

Mail Money and Phones
The jail rules PDF is the main local source for mail, commissary, phones, property, medical requests, grievances, conduct, and attorney visits. It confirms that Alamosa County Jail has structured inmate rules, but the research did not locate a current mail scanning vendor, money deposit vendor, online payment URL, kiosk confirmation, phone pricing table, or commissary fee schedule. Those gaps should remain gaps until the jail confirms the details.
For mail, confirm the exact address format before sending anything. Use the inmate's full legal name and ask whether a booking number is required. For money, ask whether deposits are accepted online, in person, by mail, or through a phone vendor. For phone calls and video visits, ask which company currently serves the jail and whether there are account setup or per-use fees.
| Service | Confirmed Detail | What to Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Rules PDF covers inmate mail. | Current mailing format and booking number requirement. | |
| Commissary | Rules PDF references commissary. | Vendor, deposit method, limits, and fees. |
| Phone | Rules PDF covers inmate phone rules. | Provider, account setup, call costs, and restrictions. |
| Attorney visits | Rules PDF covers attorney visitation. | Scheduling process and security procedures. |
| Medical requests | Rules PDF references medical requests. | Current process for non-emergency requests. |
Booking at Alamosa County Jail
Booking at Alamosa County Jail starts after arrest or court remand. A person may be brought to the facility by the Sheriff's Office, City of Alamosa Police Department, Colorado State Patrol, or another authorized agency. Jail staff confirm identity, record the custody authority, control personal property, and complete intake tasks before public custody information may be available.
Standard booking may involve fingerprints, photographs, medical and safety screening, bond or hold review, and housing assignment. Alamosa County does not publish public housing unit details online, and security-sensitive information may be withheld. Classification means the jail's internal assessment for housing and security level. It should not be confused with a court charge or sentence.
Lookup point: A person can be in intake before a full public-facing custody record is ready, so ask staff whether booking is still in process.
Alamosa Jail vs Other Systems
Alamosa County Jail handles local jail custody. It does not replace the Colorado Department of Corrections Offender Search, the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. A person sentenced to CDOC will eventually appear in the statewide prison system, not as a current Alamosa jail inmate. Federal and immigration custody also use separate data fields and separate agencies.

The CDOC search is useful after a prison sentence or transfer, but it should not be used as the first source for a new Alamosa County Jail booking.
| System | Covers | Does Not Cover |
|---|---|---|
| Alamosa County Jail | Current local jail custody | State prison after CDOC transfer. |
| Colorado Judicial Branch | Filed court cases and dockets | Live jail housing status. |
| CDOC | Sentenced Colorado prisoners | Recent county bookings. |
| BOP | Federal prison custody | County jail roster records. |
| ICE ODLS | Immigration detainees | Ordinary local jail bookings. |
Alamosa Jail Records Requests
For booking records, incident reports, booking photos, or jail records that are not released by phone, contact the Sheriff's Office and ask how to submit a Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act request. Colorado law allows access to some criminal-justice records, but it also permits denial, delay, or redaction for reasons such as active investigations, safety, privacy, juveniles, victims, medical information, sealed records, and facility security.
For the formal court case after a jail arrest, use the Alamosa County Combined Courts page, Colorado Judicial dockets, and court records request channels. The jail may know current custody and bond status, while the court record shows filed charges, hearing dates, and dispositions. A disposition is the current or final outcome of a charge.
Note: No official Alamosa County sheriff mobile app with an inmate roster, warrant search, or most-wanted feature was found.
