Releases from Gunnison County Detention Center
The Gunnison County Detention Center is the county jail inside the Gunnison County Public Safety Center. The detention page describes the jail as responsible for care, custody, safekeeping, confinement, housing, diet, medical and mental-health access, and carrying out judicial orders issued to the detention center. Release from this facility is therefore often tied to a local court order, bond, sentence, hold, or transfer.
A person can leave on bond, personal recognizance, time served, completion of a short sentence, work or school release sentence completion, transfer to another county, transfer to CDOC, release to another warrant authority, dismissal, or another court order. Once the person leaves, the daily roster usually stops being the main proof.
Confirm Gunnison Detention Release
Use the facility's current roster first only when the question is whether the person remains in jail.
- Open the Detention Services roster link or Archive Center roster page.
- Search the PDF for the person's name and inmate number.
- If listed, review scheduled release date, bond, court, and disposition fields.
- If not listed, request the adult booking/release record from Gunnison County.
- Check Gunnison Combined Court for the order or case result.
- Use VINE, CDOC, BOP, or ICE only when the facts point to that custody system.
The Gunnison County released inmates page gives the full county search and records-request sequence.
Gunnison Detention Records Contact
The detention and sheriff sources point to the same public-safety address for the jail and sheriff's office. Use the county records process for formal records and the court for case files.

Gunnison Detention Roster Fields
The daily roster is the public online source for current custody. It showed "Scheduled Rel. Date" for some current inmates, along with arrest date, court, court date, charge, bond amount, bond type, disposition, total bond, print timestamp, and total inmate count. It did not show a booking-photo column or a release-last-24-hours field in the reviewed report.
| Field | Release relevance |
|---|---|
| Scheduled Rel. Date | Possible future local jail date. |
| Disposition | Sentence, pretrial, or work-release context. |
| Bond fields | Possible bond-out context. |
| Court fields | Where to verify the legal outcome. |
| Print time | Snapshot time, not release time. |
Gunnison Work Release Context
Gunnison County's work/school-release packet and weekender packet add important local detail. Work release paperwork must be completed and approved before a sentence begins, and the person serving the sentence is responsible for travel and personal logistics. The weekender packet requires court authorization and sheriff authorization and includes a no-active-warrants condition.
These materials explain why a roster disposition may mention work release or sentence status. They do not create a public list of people released in the last 24 or 72 hours.
Transfers from Gunnison Detention
The detention page says the jail performs regular and emergency transports, including extradition to and from other detention facilities in Colorado as directed by court orders or warrants. A person may leave Gunnison custody by transfer rather than community release. In that case, the receiving county, CDOC, federal source, or court record becomes the next confirmation point.
No ICE contract detention facility, BOP facility, or dedicated municipal jail was found inside Gunnison County from the official sources reviewed. Use federal and immigration locators only when facts point there.
Gunnison Detention Facility History
The public-safety complex gives the jail page useful local context. BG+co describes the Gunnison jail/public-safety project as a 34,113-square-foot new detention facility, sheriff's office, and emergency operations center occupied in November 2011.
The facility-history source describes the modern jail project.
That history explains why sheriff, detention, records, and public-safety references use the same location.
Gunnison Detention Fees
The Detention Services page states that everyone booked into the Gunnison County Detention Center is charged a $30 booking fee and that additional costs may apply. It also points inmate money, commissary, and money for bail to inmatecanteen.com. Those are jail-account and bail logistics, not public-record request fees.
For release research, the fee matters because a released person may still have jail-account issues or booking-fee questions after custody. For records requests, use the county public-records process and any cost estimate provided by the custodian.
Gunnison Detention Court Records
The jail carries out judicial orders, but the court record explains the case. Gunnison Combined Court can show the bond event, sentence, dismissal, probation order, warrant, revocation, or future hearing that caused or followed release. The court is also the destination for case files that the county records page excludes from general county records handling.
Use both channels together. The jail record confirms the custody event. The court record explains the legal event behind it.
Gunnison Detention Photo Requests
The reviewed public roster did not show booking photos. If a booking photograph is needed, request it from the sheriff or county records custodian as part of the adult booking record, and follow Colorado's booking-photo statement requirement. Do not assume a photo is missing just because the public PDF does not show one.
For state-prison photos, use CDOC. For registry photos, use CBI or the local registry process. Each photo source follows its own access limits.
Gunnison Detention Status Gaps
A person may move through the Detention Center quickly enough that a reader sees only part of the record online. The roster can show the person before release, but the completed release may need a records request. The court can explain the legal reason, while VINE can supply an alert if registration occurred before release.
This is why a Gunnison Detention Center search should not stop at one source. Current custody, completed release, case outcome, supervision, and transfer are separate questions.
Gunnison Detention Release Records
A completed release record from this facility may show details that the public roster does not show, such as exact release time, release authority, release reason, property release, hold status, or transfer destination. The public PDF is useful for current custody, but it is not a substitute for the custodian's release file.
If the release involved court action, pair the jail record with the court case. If it involved CDOC, pair it with the offender search. If it involved another county or federal process, follow the receiving system.
Note: Use the Detention Center name when requesting the jail file.
