Mesa County jail inmate search

The Mesa County Sheriff's Office Inmate Locator is run for the public by the sheriff's office. You can look someone up with a booking number, a birth date, or a last name. People now at the jail and their current bond appear in the database.

The Inmate Locator guide says bond shows only after a judge has seen the person. Check the Colorado inmate search directory for other counties.

New arrestees go to the Mesa County Detention Facility for booking. If an arrest happened very recently, the person won't show up online yet, so call (970) 244-3930 to check with staff.

Bond hearings generally take place within the first 48 hours after booking, the county's Inmate Locator page notes. Bond amounts go online only after that hearing.

You can reach the jail on 3 phone lines. Call the Detentions Division at (970) 244-3500 for general detention questions, or call (970) 244-3930 to locate an inmate.
