Moffat County Released Inmates
A release from the Moffat County Detention Facility means the jail no longer holds the person under that booking. It does not always mean the person went home. The release may be a bond release, time served, sentence completion, dismissal, court order, transfer to the Colorado Department of Corrections, transfer to another county, federal custody, or immigration custody. The release record answers the local jail question: why the person left Moffat County custody and what agency or court action caused the exit.
The official local source set did not show a public rolling release roster for Moffat County. That makes the records workflow important. The Moffat County Sheriff's Office CRIMEWATCH portal has detention information, records forms, bond instructions, incidents, app notices, and selected posts, but the reviewed arrests and warrants buckets were not a release list. A person who has left the county jail is usually verified through the jail phone line, a sheriff records request, Moffat County court entries, Colorado VINE, CDOC if state prison applies, or BOP and ICE systems for federal custody.
Moffat County Release Types
Release type controls the next search. A bond release leaves a pending case in court. A time-served release closes the jail custody period but may leave probation or other court terms. A transfer is a county-jail exit, not a community release. A prison discharge or parole date belongs to CDOC, not to the county jail. Treat “not in jail” as a prompt to identify the next system.
| Release type | What it means | Where to verify next |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or PR bond | The jail releases the person after bond conditions are met. | Sheriff records, bond paperwork, and Moffat County court docket. |
| Time served | The local jail sentence or custody credit satisfies the jail term. | Jail release record and court disposition. |
| Transfer to CDOC | The person leaves county jail for state prison intake. | CDOC offender search after intake posts. |
| Parole or discharge | The state sentence moves to parole or ends. | CDOC profile and State Board of Parole routes. |
| Federal or ICE transfer | The local jail custody ends, but another agency may hold the person. | BOP inmate locator or ICE ODLS, plus the county release record. |
Moffat County Release Record Fields
The Moffat County jail release record is a sheriff or jail record. It is separate from a CDOC offender profile and separate from a court docket. The records request should identify the person, the approximate booking or release date, the case number or booking number if known, and the specific release items needed. When the release was on bond, ask for the paperwork tied to bond and the next court date.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Booking identity | Name, booking number, and identifying details used by the jail. |
| Release date and time | When Moffat County custody ended for that booking. |
| Release reason | Bond, court order, time served, sentence completion, dismissal, or transfer language if released to another agency. |
| Charge or case tie | The charge, court case, warrant, or mittimus connected to the jail stay. |
| Photo or media | Booking photo or other media if requested and if the custodian releases it under Colorado law. |
Request Moffat County Release Records
The official Moffat County Sheriff's Office Records Release Form page says records and media may be requested electronically, in person, or through U.S. mail. Electronic requests use the sheriff records form or records@sheriff.moffat.co.us. Mail requests go to Moffat County Sheriff's Office, ATTN: Records, 800 W. 1st St., Suite 100, Craig, CO 81625. The records page cites the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act and CORA, and it notes that requests are processed in order received.
- Gather the person's full name, approximate custody dates, and any booking or case number.
- Ask for the booking record, release date and time, release reason, bond paperwork, transfer destination, and booking photo if needed.
- Submit the request through the Moffat County Sheriff's Office Records Release Form, by email, in person, or by mail.
- Confirm any fee, format, and timing with the Records Division before relying on the response for a court or agency issue.
Note: Moffat County records may be public, but sealed, juvenile, active-investigation, or restricted records may be withheld or redacted.
Moffat County Bond Release Timing
Moffat County has a local bond-release angle that is more specific than a generic jail lookup. The sheriff's Remote Bond Payment page says bond-payment inquiries begin by calling 970-824-4495, available 24/7 for bond-payment inquiries only. A detention deputy verifies the bond amount and gives online payment directions. The Inmate Services page also states that unrelated fees and debts do not have to be paid to secure a money-bond release.
The same bond-rights notice says bond paperwork must include the next court date. That detail is useful for a released-inmate search because the jail release and the court case move together. If the release was delayed after bond was ready, the research identifies a local complaint route through the sheriff complaint link, Lt. Tim Jantz by email, or the detention contact number listed by the sheriff.
Find Released Moffat County Inmates
Start with custody type. A Moffat County jail detainee, a Colorado state-prison inmate, a parolee, a probationer, a federal inmate, and an immigration detainee are not in one universal system. The same person may pass through several of these systems, but each one answers a different question.
- For a current Moffat County jail matter, call the jail at 970-824-4498 and ask about present custody or recent release status.
- For release documentation, use the sheriff records request path and ask for the booking and release record.
- For the legal reason, search the Moffat County court page, Colorado dockets, or CoCourts.
- For state prison, parole, or discharge, search CDOC Offender Search.
- For alerts on custody changes, use Colorado VINE.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE ODLS.
A released person may drop off a live jail list. That does not prove the reason for release. Confirm through the release record, court case, or receiving agency.
CDOC Search for Moffat Releases
The Colorado Department of Corrections offender search is the statewide source for people who are or were in CDOC custody. Use it when a Moffat County case led to a prison sentence, transfer to state custody, parole, or discharge. The public search page accepts DOCNO, last name, first name, and gender. The DOC number is the best key when known because it avoids name collisions.
The Colorado Virtual Library summary says CDOC results can include name, age, corrections number, mugshot, physical descriptors, parole, release, or discharge dates as applicable, and current convictions. A CDOC release date is not the same as a Moffat County jail bond-out date. It belongs to the state-prison track.
| CDOC field | Use | Release value |
|---|---|---|
| DOCNO | Most precise search key. | Links a person to a CDOC profile. |
| Name and gender | Useful when DOCNO is unknown. | Needs identifier checks before relying on a match. |
| Parole/release/discharge dates | Sentence-status dates for state custody. | Shows the state-prison release or discharge track when applicable. |
Moffat Court Release Clues
Moffat County court records often explain why a jail release happened. The local Judicial Branch page places Moffat County in the 14th Judicial District. The docket route can show hearings, bond status, warrants, disposition, sentencing, probation terms, revocation events, and later case entries. CoCourts can be useful when a register of actions gives more case history than the public docket view.
This matters because a release can be tied to a county-court misdemeanor, a felony complaint, a district-court disposition, a mittimus to CDOC, or a probation sentence. The jail record shows custody movement. The court record shows the legal event behind that movement.
Correct Moffat Release Records
The sheriff Records Release Form page is also the practical route for documenting or correcting release details from the official custodian. If a CRIMEWATCH post, booking-photo request, or release record appears incomplete, stale, or inaccurate, the correction starts with the agency that holds the record. CRIMEWATCH material can change, and the research notes a route for inaccurate-information concerns. Registry errors are separate and should go to CBI when the CBI registry is the source.
This is a purpose-neutral records step. It is about confirming custody status, documenting a release, fixing inaccurate agency information, and reconciling a jail record with court or CDOC data.
Moffat Release Notifications
Colorado VINE is the notification layer for custody-status changes such as release or transfer when a participating agency feeds the system. It is best used before or near a release event. It is not a full historical archive and does not replace a sheriff release record, court disposition, or CDOC profile. The statewide COVINE phone number identified by Colorado sheriff pages is 1-888-263-8463.
Federal custody is separate. BOP records cover federal inmates from 1982 to the present, and BOP says a past release date with no facility location means the person is no longer in BOP custody. ICE ODLS is a current-custody locator for people in ICE custody or in CBP custody more than 48 hours. If a Moffat jail release led to ICE or federal custody, keep the local release record and the receiving-agency locator separate.
Moffat Released vs Custody
The right source depends on whether the question is present custody, a past county release, a state-prison sentence, or a federal custody event. The systems overlap only when a person moved between them.
| Question | Best source | What it can prove |
|---|---|---|
| Still in Moffat jail? | Jail phone and sheriff records. | Current local custody or recent local release. |
| Why did the person leave jail? | Sheriff release record and court docket. | Bond, court order, time served, transfer, or case event. |
| State prison release? | CDOC offender search. | Parole, release, or discharge date when applicable. |
| Federal custody release? | BOP locator. | Federal release date or no current BOP facility. |
| Immigration custody? | ICE ODLS. | Current ICE or qualifying CBP custody status. |
