Eagle County Detention Facility Overview
Eagle County Detention Facility is operated by the Eagle County Sheriff's Office and functions as the central holding location for law enforcement agencies across Eagle County. The sheriff's detention materials say the jail houses inmates and pretrial detainees committed to the custody of the sheriff. Facility staff handle booking, classification, security, medical services, and transportation.
The building is designed for minimum, medium, and maximum security housing units, with separate areas for male and female inmates and a direct-supervision dormitory-style housing unit. The jail serves people arrested by the sheriff, town police departments, and other local agencies. A person arrested in Vail, Avon, Gypsum, Minturn, Red Cliff, Basalt, El Jebel, or an unincorporated area may still be booked into this same Eagle County jail.
The official detention page at Eagle County Sheriff's Office detention facility shows the county source for bond, program, visitation, mail, phone, and money links.
The sheriff page is the best source for jail-service rules, while the Jail Viewer is the best source for public booking search.
Eagle County Detention Facility Population
Colorado DCJ 2025 Q3 jail data reports Eagle County with operational capacity 120, reported beds 84, average daily population 52, and first-day snapshot population 44. Those figures describe the overall jail, not a live count at the moment of a search. The same quarter reports 278 bookings, 303 releases, 0 deaths, 5 sentenced inmates, and 32 unsentenced inmates with no hold in the snapshot.
A 2017 Colorado Legislative Council memo listed Eagle County with capacity 114, staffing for 75, daily population 87, and a daily jail cost of $50. That older figure helps explain the difference between rated capacity, staffing levels, and actual day-to-day population.
Eagle County Detention Facility Lookup
Use the official Eagle County Jail Viewer for people booked into Eagle County Detention Facility. The roster is a county jail search, so it covers current and out-of-custody bookings processed by the jail. It does not replace Eagle Combined Courts for final disposition and does not list sentenced state prisoners after transfer to CDOC.
- Open the Jail Viewer and continue through the public-access warning.
- Use Booking Search to enter a last name, first name, booking date, release date, or custody status.
- Use the percent sign wildcard if spelling is uncertain.
- Select a result row to open the booking detail.
- Read the detail as a jail booking record, then verify court outcomes with Eagle Combined Courts.
If the person is not found, call ECDF at 970-328-8564, try OUT Of CUSTODY or ALL status, check the CDOC Offender Search for sentenced prison custody, or use BOP and ICE locators for federal or immigration custody.

Bond at Eagle County Detention Facility
The sheriff detention page says bond is set according to a court-approved schedule and is meant to assure the person's court appearance. To find the bond type for a specific inmate, call 970-328-8564. If bond is paid through the official Point and Pay portal, the payment page says to contact the Eagle County Detention Facility after payment for further processing.
| Bond Type | Local Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cash bond | The full cash amount is posted and returned by the court when court appearance duties are complete. |
| Surety bond | A state-licensed bondsman posts the bond and may require collateral or a co-signer. |
| Personal recognizance | A judge may release the person on a signature promise to appear. |
| Property bond | Real-property equity may be posted through the court clerk during regular business hours. |
Weekend bond hearings are scheduled for 8:45 a.m. and streamed through the Colorado Judicial live stream system. Holds or detainers can delay release even when one case shows a bond amount.

Eagle County Jail Programs
The sheriff detention page lists volunteer programs including Ministry, AA, yoga, CMC Connect with Colorado Mountain College, GED testing, and behavioral health programming or support. The stated objective is to reduce return to jail and expand opportunities after release. Volunteer roles require application, background investigation, and orientation.
The ECDF FAQ says the facility does not have a work-release program. It does describe a trustee program for some approved inmates who work inside the jail or around the county government campus under deputy supervision and receive good time or time off a sentence.
Eagle County Detention Records
For records not available through the Jail Viewer, the Eagle County Sheriff records page is the local records route. The sheriff records page says requesters should submit the exact spelling of the person's name and date of birth. Case reports require the records request form, notarization, and a copy of the requester's driver's license. The listed fee is a $5 minimum for the initial report plus $0.25 per supplemental page, with possible staff-time charges for extensive research, retrieval, or redaction.
Final case disposition, formal court charges, sentence orders, and certified court documents come from Eagle Combined Courts, not the jail lobby. Call 970-328-6373 or use the court records request channel when the roster shows a court case number or next court date.
