When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work at Mesa County CO Detention Facility so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Mesa Co Jail is a detention center located at 215 Rice St Grand Junction, CO which is operated locally by the Mesa County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Mesa County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Grand Junction Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Colorado here.
Mesa County Detention Facility currently has 611 beds, plus the booking area. Male and female inmates are housed separately as are a different class of inmates. Managing an increasing population in the Detention Facility while maintaining a safe environment for inmates and staff is one of the biggest challenges currently facing the Detention Facility. Plans are also in the works to expand the existing jail. The design and cost of such an expansion are currently being explored.
The Detention Facility has expanded several times. In 1996, two 8,000 square foot “pods” were added on to the facility for a cost of $3.4 million. Each pod originally housed 56 new beds. Additional beds were also added in the corner cells of each existing housing units bringing the total amount of beds in the facility to 336.
In 2007 and 2008, 54 beds were added to the two newest housing units. In 2009, the inmate intake areas known as the Booking area was remodeled expanding capacity. When first arrested, inmates are housed here until they are assigned more permanent housing based on their classification. Often times, inmates bond out before they are moved into other areas of the facility. Inmates who need extra supervision are also housed here.
Work Opportunities - Inmates may have the opportunity to work in the kitchen, laundry, floor crew, and road crews. Road crews are only made up of sentenced inmates and members can earn a flagger certification for future work. Workers earn "good time" or time reduced from a sentence for work completed during their sentence. Inmates also learn valuable job skills through on-the-job training that can be utilized upon release from the facility.
