This is a private reference site. It is not the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office, the detention center, a court, CDOC, VINE, BOP, ICE, or a records counter. We cannot confirm custody or release, pull official booking records, post bond, release anyone, change a case entry, or answer for an agency. Use the routing details below to contact the office that owns the record.
Where to Ask for a Chaffee Release Record
Chaffee County has both a county jail and a state prison complex, so the right contact depends on where the person was held. For a Chaffee County Detention Center booking or release record, start with the jail or Sheriff's Records. For Buena Vista Correctional Complex, parole, or final discharge, use CDOC and parole contacts instead.
Chaffee County Sheriff's Office
641 W. 3rd Street
P.O. Box 699
Salida, CO 81201
Non-emergency: 719-539-2596

Chaffee County Detention Center
148 Crestone Avenue
Salida, CO 81201
Phone: 719-539-7150
Use for current custody and bond-status questions. The official jail page says inmate information is limited to whether the facility has the inmate and the inmate's bond status.
Sheriff's Records
641 West 3rd Street
P.O. Box 699
Salida, CO 81201
Phone: 719-539-2814
Email: records@chaffeesheriff.org
Hours: Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed holidays. A written request form and $5 fee are listed for police-report or local criminal-history requests.
Chaffee County Public Records Portal
chaffeecountyco.nextrequest.com
Use NextRequest for county public-records requests. It is a request portal, not a live jail roster or release database.
For a jail booking, release entry, or booking photo, the request is usually a Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act issue because the custodian is a criminal justice agency. Broader county documents may route through CORA or the county's NextRequest portal. Chaffee's local records page lists a written request form and $5 fee for the Sheriff's Records path, and state law may allow additional copy, printout, or photograph charges depending on the record.
- Released from the Chaffee County Detention Center: use the home page search path, then call the jail or request the booking/release record from Sheriff's Records.
- Post-release supervision: see probation and parole. Chaffee probation is handled through the Colorado Judicial Branch, while parole is tied to CDOC and the Colorado State Board of Parole.
- Recent county-jail releases: check the 24-hour release list and 72-hour release list pages for the no-feed finding and fallback steps.
- Release dates or alerts: compare the projected release date guide with the VINELink inmate search page.
- Specific facilities: use the facility pages for the Chaffee County Detention Center and Buena Vista Correctional Complex.
- State-prison records: search CDOC at doc.state.co.us/oss. CDOC general contact listed in the research is 1250 Academy Park Loop, Colorado Springs, CO 80910, phone 719-579-9580, email cdoc@state.co.us.
- Probation records: Chaffee County Probation Office is at 645 W. 3rd Street, P.O. Box 279, Salida, CO 81201; phone 719-539-2855; fax 719-539-6025; hours Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., subject to posted closures.
- Parole hearings and decisions: Colorado State Board of Parole, 1600 W. 24th St., Building 54, Pueblo, CO 81003; phone 719-583-5800. CDOC publishes scheduled hearings at doc.state.co.us/oss/index.php?ref=pblist.
- Colorado VINE alerts: use VINELink Colorado or call 1-888-263-8463 for participating custody-notification records.
- Federal or immigration custody: use the BOP inmate locator for federal prisoners and the ICE Online Detainee Locator System for current ICE custody or qualifying CBP custody. No federal prison was found in Chaffee County, and no official source identified the Chaffee jail as an ICE contract detention facility.
