Pueblo County Detention Center Inmate Lookup

Pueblo County Detention Center Overview

Pueblo County Detention Center is operated by the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office Detention Bureau. The sheriff's research material identifies Sheriff David J. Lucero and Detention Bureau Chief/Warden Paul J. Toth, with the public detention phone listed as 719-583-6135. The county jail serves the arrest and detention stage for Pueblo County, including booking, pretrial custody, sentenced jail custody, and courtesy holds for other jurisdictions.

The county's current facility context changed in 2026. The sheriff's May 7, 2026 ribbon-cutting release placed the new detention center at 3830 Medal of Honor Boulevard, Pueblo, CO 81008. Many official public-service pages still point to the legacy sheriff and detention address at 909 Court Street, Pueblo, CO 81003, especially for records, bond, and reception instructions. Confirm the current public counter before traveling because official web pages may not update at the same pace as the facility transition.

The sheriff's Detention Center page shows the official detention overview and local jail service links.

The official detention page is the best source for broad jail operations, while the separate inmate query is the source for current-custody lookup.

Pueblo County Detention Center Capacity and Population

The May 7, 2026 sheriff release listed the new jail at 672 beds. The 2024 Pueblo County Sheriff Accountability Report described the plan as an initial 680-bed facility with infrastructure for an added 224 beds, which would support expansion to 904. Those numbers should be read as source-specific because they come from different project documents.

The 2024 Accountability Report said the Detention Bureau housed an average of 453 offenders per day in 2024, with average daily counts of 361 males and 92 females. A 2026 phone, visit, and tablet services RFP addendum listed 2025 average daily population at 428, a daily range from 396 to 544, and a five-year average daily population of 465.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Pueblo County Detention Center

Use the official Pueblo County Sheriff's Office Inmate Query for current Pueblo County Detention Center custody. The sheriff also maintains an Inmate Lookup page with the embedded roster and a fallback link when the embedded app does not display.

1. Open the Pueblo County inmate query or the sheriff's Inmate Lookup page.
2. Search by last name, first name, or a few letters of either name.
3. Review the results table for name number, last name, first name, middle name, and date of birth.
4. Click the row to view available details such as booking number, inmate ID, physical description, arresting agency, case number, charges, court, and bond records.

The roster is for current county jail custody. If a person was sentenced to the Colorado Department of Corrections, use the CDOC offender search. Federal custody belongs with the BOP inmate locator, and immigration custody belongs with ICE ODLS.

The official public inmate query app is the roster used for Pueblo County Detention Center custody searches.

The query accepts first-name and last-name searches and opens row details for the current booking record.

Visiting Someone at Pueblo County Detention Center

Pueblo County jail visits are video-based and scheduled through GettingOut. Remote video visits are available through the vendor website or app and are charged by the minute. On-site lobby video visits use wall-mounted kiosks and are free, limited to 80 minutes per inmate per week. Segregation visits must occur during the inmate's out-time; starting July 30, 2023, segregation video visits outside out-time are audio only.

The sheriff's visitation page explains GettingOut scheduling, remote visits, lobby kiosk visits, and segregation out-time limits.

The schedule table should be treated as appointment-based, not as a walk-in lobby schedule.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Pueblo County Detention Center

Regular U.S. Mail sent to a person in Pueblo County Detention Center is transferred to digital format. The scanned-mail process includes letters, photos, and drawings, while legal mail and publisher parcels are exceptions. The sheriff's material says original letters, photos, and drawings are destroyed after scanning. The booking number needed for mail can be found through the inmate lookup.

The sheriff's inmate mail page documents the scanned-mail address and digital mail rules.

Use the exact scanned-mail format because mail sent to a street address may not follow the jail's processing route.

Booking and Intake at Pueblo County Detention Center

Pueblo's booking flow begins at Judicial Intake in the Dennis Maes Judicial Building at 501 N. Elizabeth Street. Medical staff check blood pressure, temperature, and prior injuries before the intake deputy accepts custody from the arresting agency. Deputies inventory property, including clothing, personal items, and money, then take photographs and fingerprints.

Detention Specialists enter charges and warrants into the Spillman jail management system and run background information through Colorado Bureau of Investigation systems. The reception and booking function also handles legal paperwork, initial classification interviews, medical-needs screening, and release processing. The online roster appears after booking data is entered into the jail system; the research did not find an exact public refresh interval.
