Clear Creek County Released Inmates
A release record is custody-side proof that the jail, prison, or detaining agency no longer holds the person under the same authority. In Clear Creek County, the local jail record is usually tied to the Clear Creek County Jail / Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office Detentions facility at 405 Argentine Street in Georgetown. The release may be a community release, a bond release, a time-served release, a court-ordered release, a completion of sentenced local time, or a transfer to another agency.
The important point is that "released" does not always mean the person is free from all custody or supervision. A person can leave Clear Creek County Jail for CDOC, another county, federal custody, ICE, probation reporting, or a future court date. That is why Clear Creek County released inmates should be searched by custody path first, then by name or identifier. The county custody-status page points users to VINE rather than a county-hosted roster, while exact release records run through sheriff records and court records.
How People Are Released from Clear Creek County Custody
Clear Creek release records should be read as event records, not as labels that answer every later question. The release reason tells where to look next. A bond release points toward the Bonds page, VINE, the sheriff release record, and future court settings. A CDOC transfer points away from the county jail and toward the Colorado Department of Corrections offender search. A probation sentence points toward the court and Clear Creek Probation, not a prison locator.
| Release type | What it means | Where to look next |
|---|---|---|
| Bond release | Bond or personal recognizance conditions are complete and the jail processes release. | VINE, sheriff release record, court docket, and future appearances. |
| Time served or sentence complete | The local jail sentence or court credits satisfy the custody term. | Sheriff release record, court disposition, and any probation order. |
| MITT completion | The person was sentenced to time in the facility under court-provided MITT paperwork. | Jail record, court sentence, and any related cost or payment record. |
| Work release | The court may grant the privilege, while the jail decides whether the person can participate. | Jail record, court order, work-release packet, and final sentence status. |
| Court-ordered release or dismissal | The court action ends the basis for that jail custody unless another hold exists. | Colorado Judicial docket, CoCourts Register of Action, and sheriff record. |
| Transfer to CDOC | The person leaves county custody for state prison or CDOC control. | CDOC offender search and parole-board channels. |
| Transfer to another agency | The person leaves Clear Creek custody for another warrant, hold, or agency process. | Receiving agency records and the Clear Creek release record. |
| ICE or federal transfer | The county release is not necessarily a community release. | ICE ODLS, BOP locator, federal court records, and county transfer notes. |
What a Clear Creek County Release Record Shows
Because no official Clear Creek recent-release feed was found, the practical field inventory is best framed as what to request from the Sheriff's Records Unit. A narrow request is usually clearer than an open-ended demand for all jail records. Ask for the booking and release record showing the custody event, the release date and time, the release reason, any bond or sentence status, and transfer or hold information if it is maintained and releasable under Colorado law.
| Field to request | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Full name and date of birth | Helps separate similarly named people and matches the request to the correct booking. |
| Booking number | Connects the release to the jail-management record when known. |
| Booking date and time | Shows when Clear Creek custody began. |
| Arresting agency | Identifies whether the source was the sheriff, Idaho Springs, Georgetown, Empire, Colorado State Patrol, or another agency. |
| Charge or case number | Connects the jail record to court dockets and Register of Action entries. |
| Bond amount and bond type | Explains whether release was tied to cash, credit card, surety, or recognizance terms. |
| Release date and time | Shows when Clear Creek County custody ended for that event. |
| Release type or reason | Distinguishes bond, time served, court order, transfer, sentence completion, or hold-related release. |
| Transfer destination | Shows whether the person left for CDOC, another county, federal custody, ICE, or another agency if releasable. |
| Booking photograph | May be requested separately if maintained and releasable; the current form lists a photo fee. |
How to Obtain a Clear Creek County Release Record
The Sheriff's Records Unit is the key local fallback for Clear Creek County released inmates because VINE is a custody-status and notification tool, not a complete public archive. The records page says the request form may be completed online and that a Records Unit member will contact the requester with the cost. Costs must be prepaid before release. Accepted payment methods include cash, check, money order, electronic check, and credit or debit card, with the posted service fee for electronic and card payments.
- Identify the person and event as specifically as possible: name, date of birth if known, booking number, arrest date, approximate release date, arresting agency, and case number.
- Use the Sheriff's Criminal Justice Records Requests page and ask for the booking and release record, not a vague all-records request unless that is necessary.
- If a booking photo is needed, request it separately as a booking photograph if maintained and releasable.
- Wait for the Records Unit cost response and prepay the required amount before release of records.
- Respond quickly if the office asks for clarification. The request form materials say a request can be closed if the requester does not respond within ten business days.
- Download, inspect, or pay for assembled records promptly. The form says assembled records are held no more than ten business days after notice of availability.

Laws Governing Clear Creek County Release Records
Colorado release-record access sits between CORA, CCJRA, court-record access, and agency discretion. Clear Creek County's public-records page says public records generally mean documentation made or maintained by government agencies and that requests should go directly to the appropriate government office. Criminal-justice records held by sheriffs, police, district attorneys, CBI, and CDOC are commonly handled under the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, not ordinary county administrative records.
Requesters should expect redactions for protected information, juveniles, victims, medical information, sealed records, certain investigative material, and other statutory exceptions. C.R.S. 24-72-305.5 also matters for criminal-justice records and booking photographs because it requires a non-solicitation affirmation before access to certain information. Court sealing or expungement can restrict public access to court records and may affect what an agency releases, but it should not be described as automatically erasing every jail, VINE, news, or third-party copy.
After-Release Cost of Care Fees
Clear Creek has a local cost-of-care page that belongs in a release-record guide because it describes an after-release obligation tied to time served in jail. The page says courts may assess a Cost of Care Fee as part of incarceration. It lists the fee as $25 per day for each day served in jail, says payment is preferred before leaving when possible, and says a payment schedule can be arranged after leaving through the detentions accountant or by calling 303-679-2451.
This fee information should not be confused with a release list, a custody status, or a court disposition. It is a local payment and logistics detail that may appear after a person has completed sentenced time or otherwise left custody. If the question is whether someone was released, use VINE, sheriff records, and court records. If the question is whether a jail-related cost remains, use the county's cost-of-care and detentions contact path.
How to Find a Released Clear Creek County Inmate
The reliable search path starts by asking which custody system controlled the release. A current-custody roster, where one exists, is designed to show people still held by the agency. A released person may drop from that view. Clear Creek's official custody-status page points to VINE and the Colorado VINE phone number, so silence in a current-custody search should not be treated as proof that there was no booking or release.
- Decide whether the event was a Clear Creek County Jail release, a CDOC prison release, a federal BOP release, or an ICE transfer or release.
- For a local jail release, check the Clear Creek Inmate Custody Status page and Colorado VINE first.
- If VINE does not show a useful result, request the booking and release record from the Sheriff's Records Unit.
- Check the Colorado Judicial Branch docket search and CoCourts Register of Action for bond, disposition, sentence, probation, or future court dates.
- If the person was sentenced to state prison or transferred to CDOC, use CDOC Offender Search and the Release Date Lookup guide.
- If supervision followed, separate probation through the court from parole through CDOC and the State Board of Parole.
- If the matter is federal or immigration-related, check BOP, federal court records, or ICE ODLS instead of the county jail page.
Released vs current custody: VINE may show a current detainee, a release or transfer status, or no longer return a useful result after a release event. The exact release date and reason are better confirmed through sheriff records and court records.
Colorado Department of Corrections Offender Search for Released Inmates
CDOC Offender Search is the right tool when a person left Clear Creek County Jail for state prison, was later released from Colorado prison, or is under CDOC parole supervision. It is not the first stop for someone who simply bonded out of the county jail on a local case and never entered state custody. CDOC's own disclaimer says the public database can contain inaccurate information and should be confirmed with CDOC when accuracy matters.
| CDOC search field | How to use it |
|---|---|
| DOCNO | Use the numeric CDOC number when known; search tips describe it as up to six numeric characters. |
| Last name | Name fields return names beginning with entered letters. Two last names should not be hyphenated. |
| First name | Try the arresting or prosecuted name if the current legal name is different. |
| Gender | Use as a narrowing field when needed. |
| Date of birth | Search tips describe mm/dd/yyyy format where DOB search is available. |
For a released state-prison inmate, useful CDOC fields can include status or current location, sentence or conviction information, estimated parole eligibility date, next parole hearing date, estimated mandatory release date, release or discharge status, and supervision information where displayed. A parole eligibility date is not a guaranteed release date, and a county jail release date is not computed by CDOC unless the person entered CDOC custody.
Clear Creek County Jail Releases and Recent Releases
No official Clear Creek County page was found that publishes a county-hosted 24-hour release list, 72-hour release list, jail roster photo feed, or recent-release tab. The official county custody-status page points users to VINE, which is a custody-status and notification system, not a county archive of every release. The 24-Hour Releases and 72-Hour Releases pages therefore lead with the absence of a confirmed local feed and explain the fallback path.
For a fresh event, VINE can be useful because Clear Creek links to it directly for custody status. For an exact release date, release time, release reason, or booking photo, the Sheriff's Records Unit is the stronger official path. If the release was tied to bond, the court docket or CoCourts Register of Action may show bond, future settings, or disposition. If the release was actually a transfer, the receiving system is where the next custody status appears.
Parole and Probation After Release
Probation and parole are different systems in Colorado. Probation is usually a court sentence or court-supervision order handled by the Colorado Judicial Branch. Clear Creek Probation is located at 405 Argentine Street in Georgetown, with listed phone 303-569-0800 and hours Monday-Friday, 6:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m., closed state holidays. A recent county-jail release to probation should be verified through court records and the probation office path.
Parole is state-prison post-release supervision handled by CDOC and the Colorado State Board of Parole. A person who bonds out of Clear Creek County Jail is not on parole just because they left jail. Use Post-Release Supervision for the local probation and CDOC parole split, and confirm CDOC parole details through CDOC because its public database includes an accuracy disclaimer.
Definitions: Probation is court supervision. Parole is CDOC post-prison supervision. Time served means the local sentence or credit satisfied the custody term. Discharge means the relevant custody or sentence obligation has ended according to the responsible agency or court record.
Release Notifications and Federal Releases
Clear Creek County's official custody-status page uses VINE. It describes VINE as an automated system that notifies victims and other interested parties of changes in custody status by phone or email and gives Colorado VINE's toll-free number as 888-263-8463. VINE can be searched by phone or on the VINE website. It is useful for custody changes, but it is not a full court docket or a permanent county booking archive.
Federal and immigration release channels are separate. BOP's inmate locator covers federal inmates and can show "Released" or "Not in BOP Custody" with a release date when no BOP facility location is shown. ICE's Online Detainee Locator System is the immigration-custody path and may be searched by A-number or by name, country of birth, and birth date. If a Clear Creek record says transfer to federal or immigration custody, treat that as release from county custody, not automatically as release to the community.
Released vs Still in Custody: Where to Look
The same name can appear in different systems at different stages, and each system answers a narrower question. For Clear Creek County released inmates, the most common mistake is to keep checking a current-custody path after the person has left custody. Use the table to match the question to the record source.
| Question | Best source | What it can show |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person currently in Clear Creek custody? | Clear Creek Inmate Custody Status / VINE | Current or recent custody status when VINE has a participating-agency result. |
| When did the person leave the county jail? | Sheriff's Records Unit | Release date, release time, release type, bond or transfer details if releasable. |
| What happened in court? | Colorado Judicial docket and CoCourts | Hearings, bond, disposition, sentence, probation, collections, and case status. |
| Was the person sent to state prison? | CDOC Offender Search | CDOC status, parole dates, mandatory release estimates, parole or discharge information where displayed. |
| Was the matter federal? | BOP locator and federal court records | Federal custody location or release status, federal release date, or no longer in BOP custody. |
| Was there an immigration transfer? | ICE ODLS | Current ICE detention location when the person is in ICE custody and searchable. |
Clear Creek County Detention Facilities
The facility map for this site has one local detention facility. No Colorado state prison, federal BOP prison, dedicated ICE detention center, or U.S. Marshals detention facility was found inside Clear Creek County in the official sources reviewed. State, federal, and immigration systems are still relevant when a local release is a transfer, but they are not Clear Creek County Jail release feeds.
After-Hours Release Logistics in Georgetown
Clear Creek release logistics are unusually visible through the Detentions and Bonds pages rather than through a release feed. The Detentions page says visitors use Interstate 70 exit 228 for Georgetown, follow Argentine Street, and look for the Sheriff's Office building with the green roof. If someone arrives after hours or on a weekend, the page says to use the lobby phone near the vending machines because it automatically dials the jail.
That detail matters for release coordination, bond paperwork, and records questions because the Sheriff's Office and jail are the local custody point even when the arrest came from a municipal police department or Colorado State Patrol. It does not create a public release list, and it should not be read as a guarantee that staff can disclose a record by phone. It is a practical arrival instruction from the official Detentions page.
Electronic Bond Release in Clear Creek County
Clear Creek has a detailed electronic bond process. The Bonds page says the jail accepts bonds 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including holidays, accepts cash, credit card, and surety bonds, and does not allow property bonds. It also says the Sheriff's Office is required by C.R.S. 16-4-102 to release someone within six hours of posting bond, subject to the conditions described by the page and statute.
For family or friends using the electronic process, the Bonds page describes depositing the bond amount into the inmate's Bail Bond Trust account using AllPaid, emailing detentions@clearcreeksheriff.us, receiving a Delivery Slip secure-email invitation, providing scanned state ID, signing returned documents, and waiting for release processing. The six-hour period begins after required funds and documents have been received. Delays caused by missing IDs, powers of attorney, or signed documents are not described as the jail's responsibility.
Local Agencies Feeding the Jail
Clear Creek County's RFP material gives a useful scale statistic for the home page: the Sheriff's Office is responsible for an average of 24 county inmates per day. The same material says the facility houses inmates from unincorporated Clear Creek County, Idaho Springs, Georgetown, and Empire police departments, and individuals detained by Colorado State Patrol. That explains why a person arrested by a municipal officer or state trooper may still have a jail release record at the Sheriff's Office.
MITT Money and Sentenced-Time Release
Clear Creek's MITT page is a narrow but useful local release detail. It applies to people sentenced to time in the facility, not every person who leaves jail. The page says the person must bring a $30 processing fee on the first visit, photo identification, and a copy of the court-provided MITT. It also says money deposited will be returned when the person leaves in the form of a check.
For released-inmate research, MITT connects the jail stay back to the court order. If the question is whether a sentenced person completed local time, the release record, court sentence, MITT paperwork, and any related payment record may all matter. If the person was instead released on bond or transferred to CDOC, the MITT process is not the right explanation.
Court Dockets Behind Jail Release
Court interplay is strong in Clear Creek because the jail, court, and probation office are tied to the Argentine Street government complex in Georgetown. The Colorado Judicial Branch Clear Creek page says traffic arraignments are the largest-volume dockets and may take 2-3 hours before the case is heard or handled by clerks. A local release may therefore be tied to a traffic, misdemeanor, bond, warrant, or review docket rather than a prison-style release.
The Colorado Judicial docket search requires at least one filter beyond date, and CoCourts provides Register of Action information with a warning that name matches are not positive identification. Use case number, date of birth where lawfully available, arrest date, and booking number when possible. A court record can explain why custody ended, while the sheriff record confirms when the jail actually released the person.
