Clear Creek County Inmate Population Overview

The Clear Creek County inmate population is centered on one local detention facility, the Clear Creek County Jail in Georgetown. Official research found no separate city jail, regional jail, state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center physically located in the county. That means the local jail is the main place for people arrested by the sheriff's office, local police agencies, Colorado State Patrol, or a court order in Clear Creek County. Current sheriff Ron Thornton is identified on the official Sheriff's Page, while jail operations are described on the county Detentions page. Once a person is sentenced to Colorado state prison, the local jail is no longer the right search system. The person moves into the Colorado Department of Corrections count and should be searched through the CDOC offender search.

The Clear Creek County inmate population count depends on the category being measured. A jail booking count measures people processed into jail during a year. Average daily population measures the number of people held on a typical day. Capacity is a bed or operational measure, and Clear Creek's public jail page did not publish a fresh current rated-capacity figure. Official county comparative material lists 110 max beds, while the 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report reports 452 jail bookings and average daily inmate population of 46 for 2023. Those figures describe a mountain-county jail population in the dozens, not a large metro jail.

Clear Creek County Inmate Population Statistics

Clear Creek County publishes useful jail numbers, but the public sources are spread across county annual reports, financial reports, comparative material, and state data pages. The strongest current trend table comes from the county's 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Older operational detail comes from the 2016 county annual report, which described bookings, gender counts, medical visits, jail meals, and transport mileage. A 2025 service-delivery document also says the sheriff's office was responsible for an average of 24 county inmates per day, but that figure should not be treated as the same category as total jail ADP.

The Colorado Division of Criminal Justice maintains a jail population and facility dashboard page for quarterly reporting. Its dashboard description matters because Colorado jail population reporting is statewide, but the county research did not locate a live Clear Creek public daily roster count or a current demographic dashboard with race, age, charge level, pretrial status, and housing details. The absence of a live dashboard should be stated plainly rather than filled with guesses.

The Colorado jail population dashboard page describes the statewide reporting context used by county jails. The image below shows the state dashboard entry point rather than a Clear Creek-only live jail count.

Because Clear Creek County does not publish every current jail-population detail in one local dashboard, the state reporting page is useful background while county annual reports remain the source for specific local figures.

Clear Creek County Inmate Population Trends

The 2023 ACFR shows a clear decline from the late 2010s into 2023. Bookings peaked in the table at 926 in 2018, while average daily population peaked at 75 in 2019. By 2023, bookings were 452 and ADP was 46. The data alone does not prove the cause. Enforcement patterns, court practices, bond decisions, staffing, public-health changes, and state policy could all affect jail use. The careful reading is that Clear Creek County reported fewer annual bookings and a lower average daily inmate population in 2023 than during the 2017 to 2019 period.

One source conflict should stay visible. The 2016 annual report says the average daily population was 66, while the ACFR trend table uses 59 for the 2016 slot. The two reports may use different reporting methods or periods. For trend work, the ACFR sequence is the cleaner single table. For operational detail, the 2016 annual report is still useful because it gives meal, transport, and medical-service counts.

Clear Creek County Jail Population Makeup

The public sources do not provide a current full demographic profile of the Clear Creek County inmate population. The 2016 annual report does give a gender breakdown: 801 booked arrestees included 604 males and 197 females, while the report's average daily population figure of 66 included 47 males and 19 females. No current official public table was located for race, ethnicity, age bands, charge level, pretrial status, sentenced status, housing unit, or holds.

Colorado law requires jail data collection at a more detailed level than the public Clear Creek pages display. Under C.R.S. 17-26-118, jail keepers must maintain and report data that can include entrance date, name, date of birth, age, race, ethnicity, gender, charges, sentence term, bond, release date, operational capacity, and population counts. That legal duty does not mean each field appears on a public Clear Creek web roster. It means the information may exist in official systems and may require a records process, court file, or state reporting source to inspect.

Pretrial detainee

A person held before final case disposition, often because bond has not been posted or a hold applies.

Sentenced jail inmate

A person serving a local jail sentence rather than a Colorado prison sentence.

Detainer

A hold or request from another agency that can delay release even after local bond is posted.

Classification

The jail process used to assign security level, housing, restrictions, and program eligibility.

Clear Creek County Capacity and Jail Law

Official comparative material lists Clear Creek with 110 max beds and ADP 71, but the current public Detentions page did not publish a current rated-capacity number. The 2023 ACFR ADP of 46 is below that 110-bed historical or comparative figure. Even so, a current occupancy percentage should not be calculated without a current rated-capacity source because operational capacity can change through staffing, classification, closed beds, renovations, or policy limits.

Search Clear Creek County Inmates

No official Clear Creek County sheriff-hosted current jail roster, recent booking report, or public mugshot gallery was located in the research sweep. That is the key local fact. Clear Creek's own Inmate Custody Status page sends users to VINE/VINELink and gives Colorado VINE's phone line for custody-status checks. VINE is a custody status and notification tool. It should not be described as a full county roster with booking profiles, bond fields, housing units, or mugshots.

The official lookup chain is practical. Start with the Clear Creek County Inmate Custody Status page, then use VINELink or call Colorado VINE at 888-263-8463. If the person is not found, call the sheriff's Front Desk/Records line during public hours or non-emergency dispatch after hours. If the person has been sentenced to state prison, use CDOC. If the person is federally sentenced, use BOP. If the question involves immigration detention, use ICE ODLS.

1. Check the official county custody-status page and follow the VINE path.
2. Search by full legal name, and keep date of birth or arrest date ready.
3. Call the jail/front desk if VINE does not show the person or the status seems stale.
4. Use the sheriff records request process for booking records, reports, photos, and BWC.
5. Switch to CDOC, BOP, ICE, or court records when custody has moved out of the county jail system.

The county custody-status source is the most useful official visual substitute for a roster. The county custody-status page shows the VINE referral and Colorado VINE phone route.

This screenshot reinforces the page's main lookup rule: Clear Creek custody status runs through VINE and jail contact channels, not through a county-hosted roster profile.

Clear Creek County Custody Search Fields

Because no county-hosted roster was found, the Clear Creek County inmate population cannot be searched by a local roster form with last name, booking number, booking date, charge, housing unit, or release status fields. The research found a VINE access path instead. VINE field labels can change because it is a dynamic vendor interface, so the local content should not pretend to know a fixed Clear Creek roster form that does not exist.

Note: If a person was just arrested, intake, release, court transport, or bond processing may affect whether a public status tool shows the latest custody position.

Clear Creek County Inmate Record Details

A public Clear Creek County roster profile was not available to inspect, so the safer record-content table identifies where each item can be obtained. Custody status may be available through VINE. Booking numbers, arrest IDs, police reports, booking photos, and BWC records move through the sheriff's criminal justice records request process. Court dates and filed charges move through Colorado Judicial Branch dockets and court record requests.

Clear Creek County Jail vs Prison

Readers often search the wrong system. A Clear Creek County arrest may begin at the county jail. A state-prison sentence moves the person to CDOC. Federal pretrial custody can involve the U.S. Marshals Service, and federal sentenced custody moves into BOP. Immigration custody is searched through ICE ODLS. These systems do not share one public roster, and a person may leave Clear Creek County Jail before appearing in a state or federal locator.

The CDOC offender search is the right place after a Clear Creek County case becomes a state-prison sentence.

The CDOC form has fields for DOCNO, last name, first name, gender, and captcha, which makes it a different tool from Clear Creek County jail custody status.

Clear Creek County Detention Facilities

The facility map resolves to one official local detention page. The Clear Creek County Jail is the local facility for pretrial detainees, sentenced jail inmates, work-release-eligible sentenced inmates, transports, holds, and some federal/USMS detainees when housed under contract. No official city jail, regional jail, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE facility was located in Clear Creek County.

Clear Creek County Inmate Population FAQ

How big is the Clear Creek County inmate population?

The 2023 Clear Creek County ACFR statistical table reports 452 jail bookings and an average daily inmate population of 46. Official comparative material lists 110 max beds, but the current public Detentions page did not publish a current rated-capacity figure.

Does Clear Creek County have an online jail roster?

No official sheriff-hosted current inmate roster was located in the research. Clear Creek's official custody-status path points users to VINE/VINELink and Colorado VINE by phone. Jail contact and records requests fill the gaps when VINE is not enough.

Where are state prisoners from Clear Creek County searched?

Use the CDOC offender search after a person is sentenced to Colorado state prison. State prison custody is separate from Clear Creek County Jail custody, and no CDOC prison was located inside Clear Creek County.

Are federal or immigration detainees in the county count?

Federal and immigration custody use separate systems. BOP covers sentenced federal inmates. ICE ODLS covers immigration detainees. Federal pretrial detainees may involve the U.S. Marshals Service and may not appear in BOP until sentenced or in BOP custody.
