The Teller Co Jail is a low/medium-security detention center located at 288 Weaverville Rd Divide, CO which is operated locally by the Teller 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. Teller County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Divide 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.

The Teller County Jail operates as a medium-security facility, mirroring maximum-security standards sans tower structures. Constructed of solid concrete, it offers limited access to fresh air and maintains stringent guard-to-inmate ratios. Inmates have access to cage-like structures for limited exercise and spend most of their time in pods or 2-man cells under strict supervision. Facilities include a library, commissary, gym, barber shop, and chapel.

The jail primarily houses individuals awaiting sentencing, trial, or transfer, with no long-term inmates. Daily intake includes individuals often intoxicated, injured from altercations leading to arrest, or mentally ill. Some detainees may be held briefly until court proceedings or bail release, thereafter supervised by pretrial services or on their own recognizance.

Structured in pods, common areas feature fixed tables and attached seats, with individual cells typically spanning two levels. Inmates are either confined to cells or permitted congregational activities like card games, reading, or TV. Movement outside pods requires escort by unarmed correctional officers, ensuring constant supervision. Despite restrictions, the jail offers a comparatively less stressful environment than prison.

Inmate Locator

Teller County Jail publishes the names of the inmates currently in their facility in Colorado. Your search should start with this locator first to see if your loved one is there.

The second box is the InmateAid Inmate Search. This database of inmates is user-generated content to access and utilize any or all of the InmateAid services. If you need our assistance creating your inmate profile to keep in touch, email us at aid@inmateaid.com and we will assist you in locating your inmate.

As a last resort, you might have to pay for that information if we do not have it. The Arrest Record Search will cost you a small amount, but their data is the freshest available and for that reason, they charge to access it.
