Releases from Moffat County Detention Facility
The Moffat County Detention Facility is the primary local jail for Moffat County. The sheriff's Detentions Division page describes it as responsible for the care and safekeeping of sentenced prisoners and people awaiting trial. A person can leave this jail by bond, personal-recognizance release, court order, dismissal, time served, sentence completion, transfer to the Colorado Department of Corrections, transfer to another agency, or another legal hold.
The release path determines the next public record. A bond release leaves the jail but usually leaves an active court case. A local sentence completion points back to the jail record and the court disposition. A transfer to CDOC is not a community release, so the next search moves to the statewide offender search. A federal or immigration transfer is checked through the federal or ICE system after the county release is documented locally.
How to Confirm a Jail Release
Moffat County does not have a verified public rolling release table in the reviewed sheriff CRIMEWATCH sources. Use this sequence for a county-jail release:
- Call the jail at 970-824-4498 if the question is current custody or a same-day release.
- Use the sheriff records release process for a booking and release record, including release date, release time, release type, charge or case number, and transfer destination if one exists.
- Check Moffat County court records for the order, bond, disposition, sentence, warrant event, or transfer paperwork that explains why the person left jail.
- Use VINE Inmate Check for custody-change alerts where the agency feed supports them.
- Use CDOC, BOP, or ICE only when the jail or court record points to state prison, federal custody, or immigration custody.
The broader Moffat County released inmates guide explains how to combine jail, court, CDOC, VINE, BOP, and ICE records without treating one system as a universal release list.

About Moffat County Detention Facility
The Detentions Division page gives the jail's capacity as 93 adult beds and 8 juvenile beds. It also states that all inmates receive an inmate handbook when entering the facility and that visits are handled by video through HomeWAV. Those details make this a county jail serving both pretrial and sentenced local custody, not a state prison or federal facility.

Bond Releases and Timing
The sheriff's Remote Bond Payment page says bond payment starts 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 says unrelated fees and debts do not have to be paid to secure a money-bond release, while a $10 bond fee and a maximum 3.5% credit-card payment fee may be handled as a debt after release if not paid at bonding.
The same Inmate Services notice says a sheriff must release a defendant within six hours after specified personal-recognizance or cash-bond conditions are met unless extraordinary circumstances exist. It also notes that a sheriff may hold a defendant up to 24 hours when needed to fit required electronic monitoring.
Bond paperwork matters because it can show the next court date and the legal conditions attached to the release. If the person no longer appears in jail records, the court docket can still show whether bond was posted, whether the case was dismissed, whether a sentence was imposed, or whether a later warrant or revocation changed the custody path.
Moffat County Sources to Reconcile

For a release document, use the Records Release Form route at https://crimewatch.net/us/co/moffat/sheriff/153578/content/records-release-form.
