Denver County Jail

Denver Detention Facility

Denver County Bail Bond Information

The Denver County Sheriff’s Department operates two detention facilities the Smith Road Facility and the Van Cise-Simonet Detention Center. The Smith Road Facility is the current county jail and where most sentenced offenders are held after they have been convicted. The Van Cise-Simonet Detention Center is where most pre-trial, or non-convicted detainees are held until their bond is posted or they have gone to trial.

The Van Cise-Simonet Detention Center is also where the Bond Desk resides and where the bondsman will need to go in order to post bail. The Bond Desk closes at 10:00 PM so it is recommended that all paperwork be in order and the bondsman be at the facility at 9:00 PM. Even if the bond is posted timely there may be some wait time in order to get your loved one released. Once an individual is arrested, they are required to be fully booked into the facility before they are released. This process can take hours as their fingerprints must be submitted and returned with an identity. This process generally takes approximately 4-6 hours to be completed.

Every person arrested in Denver County is charged a non-refundable $50.00 bond fee that must be paid at the time an “appearance bond” is posted. Individuals who are not in jail but do have an active Denver County Court warrant for their arrest may be eligible for a ‘walk-through’ bond. To check your eligibility for this program, call 720-337-0062.

For some situations you have the option to have your warrant vacated and a new court date set, without posting a bond and paying a $100.00 warrant cancellation fee. For more information on this program click here

Denver County History

Denver which is commonly known as the “Mile High City” as it sits 1,609 above sea level is the capital of Colorado. Since the beginning it has always been a prime location of progressive thinking and rapid growth.

Created as a gold mining town in 1858, it quickly became central supply hub for all the new mines popping up in and around the Rocky Mountains. This rapid population boom along with critical investors allowed them to create a rail way from Cheyenne to western Kansas that traveled through the city of Denver that brought new people and supplies to this expanding area.

It later become one of the central locations for gas and oil companies due to its proximity to the mountains and energy field. These industries helped them weather the storm throughout World War II as well as the Great Depression.

Another element that helped the expansion of the city of Denver was their dedication to inclusiveness for minorities. This commitment brought immigrants from all walks of life to the city and suburbs of Denver which created a diverse and ever-expanding culture.

As of 2017 Denver’s population is around 704,621 and their key economic growth sectors are in energy, government and military, technology and agriculture.

Colorado Felony Classes and Sentences

If you’re a bail bondsman in Colorado, we are sure you follow what is happening with cash bail legislation in other states (New York, California, New Jersey), but we would like to take a step back for any potential new clients and review information that could be helpful if someone runs afoul of the law and needs our assistance. Whether you have committed a crime in Denver County, Jefferson County, Arapahoe County, or elsewhere you may need help from a good lawyer and a reliable bail bonding professional. With years of experience, our Colorado cash bail agents can help you get out of jail on a pre-trial basis. Before calling for cash bail assistance, you should probably make yourself aware of Colorado’s felony crimes by class and sentence. Like all states, ours divides crimes between felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are the more serious of the two, punishable by state prison sentences of a year or more. Misdemeanors are generally less serious crimes, with defendants receiving county or local jail terms lasting as long as 18 months. More information is available here.

Most Colorado felonies are designated into classes by severity ranging from class one to class Six. Some in Colorado go unclassified. For unclassified felonies, the sentence is determined in the criminal statute. If no penalty is set, then a felony conviction could bring up to five years in prison and a fine all the way up to $100,000. As in other states, Colorado law gives different penalties related to drug felonies.

Sentencing laws in our state have been amended over time, and the punishments we describe apply to felonies committed on or after July 1, 2018. (Colo. Rev. Stat. §§ 18-1.3-401, 18-1.3-402, 18-1.3-403 (2019).) Crime is a big business. But it is not glamorous in the end.

Class One Felonies

Most bondsmen do not see these kinds of felonies walk through their door. Nothing gets more serious than a class one felony in Colorado, with the perpetrator eligible for a sentence including life imprisonment or the death penalty. Steer clear of this one – and all others, by the way. First-degree murder is an example of a class one felony. (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-1.3-401 (2019).)

Class Two Felonies

class two felonies in Colorado could earn you or another defendant eight to 24 years in prison, a fine of $5,000 to $1,000,000, or both. one particularly heinous example includes human trafficking of a minor. (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-1.3-401 (2019).)

Class Three Felonies

If you have been convicted of a class three felony you could be subject to a state prison sentence of four to 12 years, a fine of $3,000 to $750,000, or both. First-degree assault is considered a class three felony. (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-1.3-401 (2019).)

It is very difficult to talk about serious felony charges in short form related to the cash bail controversy, mostly because cash bail statues do not apply or are waived due to extenuating circumstances. What is important to take away from this, however, is that class one, two, and three felonies are the most serious crimes anyone could commit, and punishable as such.

Class Four Felonies

Class four felonies are worth between two to six years’ imprisonment, and between $2,000 and $500,000 in fines, or both. A prominent example is theft of property valued between $20,000 and $100,000. (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-1.3-401 (2019).)

Class Five Felonies

Colorado’s laws hand down a sentence of up to three years in prison, a $1,000 to $100,000 fine, or both, if you are convicted of a class 5 felony. Forgery falls into this category. (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-1.3-401 (2019).)

Class Six Felonies

Class six may encompass the least serious of felonies in Colorado, but they are still something to worry about. If convicted, you could face between a year to 18 months in prison, a fine of $1,000 to $100,000, or both. Do not even think about impersonating a peace officer because it is a class six felony. (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-1.3-401 (2019).)

Part of the controversy surrounding cash bail bonding is due to perceived racial and financial inequalities. Opponents insist it discriminates against minorities and the poor, many of whom get hauled off to jail on drug charges.

Drug felony convictions are divided into four levels, with crimes punishable by six months to 32 years in prison and/or fines ranging between $1,000 and $100,000. In any case, a felony drug conviction could ruin your personal life and impede your ability for meaningful employment upon release.
