Ouray County Inmate Roster
The Ouray County Sheriff's Office links jail users to Montrose County Sheriff's Office jail information. That local routing means an Ouray arrest can involve Ouray law enforcement, an Ouray court case, and a Montrose jail custody record. The Ouray sheriff is still the correct starting point for local arrest questions and sheriff records, while the linked jail pages handle the public roster, visitation, phone, mail, money, commissary, and bond instructions for people held in the regional jail.
The Montrose County current inmate list is not a keyword search form in the crawled public page. It is a current offense list organized by name and booking entry. That distinction helps set expectations. The list may show current custody and offense-line data, but it does not present every field a reader may expect from a full booking file, court case file, or state criminal history.
This split also affects timing. A new arrest may be handled first by the Ouray sheriff, then entered through the regional jail booking process, then appear in court records after filing or advisement. A person who has already been sentenced may leave the county-jail channel and move to the Colorado DOC search. Checking the wrong custodian can make a valid record look missing.
The manifest image from the Montrose inmate list shows the official roster channel linked for Ouray County inmate records.

The roster should be used as a current-custody pointer, while court outcomes and sentence details must be checked through court or state correctional sources.
Search Ouray County Inmates
Use the jail list first when the question is whether a person is currently held in the regional jail path. Use the Ouray sheriff for local agency records, the Montrose jail booking desk for booking and custody questions, and the Colorado Department of Corrections only after a person has moved into state custody. A person may also appear in court dockets or payment systems before, during, or after custody, so jail records and court records should not be treated as the same file.
- Open the linked Montrose inmate list and scan the current roster by name.
- Read each visible offense line and note the booking number, name number, statute, court abbreviation, offense code, and class.
- Call the Montrose booking desk if custody, bond timing, or release processing needs confirmation.
- Call the Ouray sheriff for Ouray agency reports or arrest-record routing.
- Search the Colorado DOC offender search only for people who may have moved from county jail to state custody.
Ouray County Inmate Fields
The public jail roster exposed in the research is a list, not a form with separate search boxes. The useful field inventory is therefore the roster entry itself. These fields help connect the custody entry to court-charge research, but they should not be read as final convictions. A charge line may reflect an allegation, warrant, hold, or pending court event.
| Roster Element | Type | Visible | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booking # | Identifier | Yes | Visible for the custody entry. |
| Name | Text | Yes | Displayed last name first in the roster text. |
| Name Number | Identifier | Yes | Separate person or jail-system number visible in entry. |
| Statute | Code | Yes | Examples in research include 16-2-110, 18-3-202, and 42-4-1301. |
| Offense | Description | Yes | Examples include Failure to Appear, aggravated assault, and DUI. |
| Court | Abbreviation | Yes | Examples include COMB, MAC, MMC, OCC, DDC, MED, LARI, and PARO. |
| Offense code and class | Code | Yes | Examples include FTA, DUI, 4F, M1, MU, and UF. |
What Inmate Records Show
The Ouray County inmate record path is strongest for current custody and offense-list information. It is weaker for details that many users expect, such as mugshots, housing units, dates of birth, release dates, or complete court outcomes. Those fields were not visible in the crawled roster text. For full court status, use court dockets or the Clerk of Court. For sheriff reports, use the sheriff records request process.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking number | The jail booking identifier for the current custody entry. |
| Name and name number | The listed person and jail-system person number. |
| Statute | The cited Colorado or other legal provision attached to an offense line. |
| Offense | The alleged offense or hold description on the roster. |
| Court abbreviation | The court or agency code tied to the offense line. |
| Class | The offense level or category shown by the roster, such as felony, misdemeanor, petty, or municipal code values. |
| Not visible in crawl | Mugshot, DOB, height, weight, housing unit, bond amount, court date, booking time, and release date. |
Note: The roster is a custody aid, not a certified court disposition or full criminal history report.
Ouray County Jail Contacts
The official county jail path sends users to Montrose County Jail pages. The Montrose jail overview states that the Montrose County Sheriff is the official custodian of that jail and is responsible for care and housing of inmates, prisoner transportation, writ execution, and support of court operations.

The manifest image from the Montrose County jail overview supports the regional custody role used for Ouray County inmate records.

That regional structure is why Ouray County inmate lookup work may require both Ouray sheriff records and Montrose jail custody contacts.
Contact Ouray County Inmates
The Montrose jail connection page says inmates receive two initial free local calls while in booking so they can notify someone or arrange bond. Later phone, email, text, and video services route through CIDNET. Mail goes to the jail facility and must include a clear return name and complete address. Legal mail is opened only in the inmate's presence and inspected for contraband.
The official how to connect with an inmate page documents mail, calls, money, commissary, CIDNET, and JailATM.

Use the inmate's full name in the mail address and do not send packages, because the jail rules say packages are not accepted for inmates.
| Contact Type | Channel | Key Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Phone | CIDNET or 1-888-984-1903 | Booking includes two initial free local calls. |
| Montrose County Jail, inmate name, 1200 N. Grand Ave., Montrose, CO 81401 | Return name and full address required. | |
| Legal mail | Attorney, judge, Attorney General, or Governor mail | Opened in inmate presence and inspected for contraband. |
| Packages | Not accepted | Use approved commissary or gift-pack channels instead. |
Ouray County Inmate Visits
Video visitation for the linked jail path is scheduled through CIDNET. The posted schedule has afternoon and evening windows, and the rules allow privileges to be adjusted or cancelled for security and scheduling. Dress and behavior rules apply to on-site and at-home video visits. Threatening, disruptive, or inappropriate conduct can end a visit and revoke privileges.
The official Montrose jail video visitation page provides the schedule and conduct rules used for Ouray County inmate visitation routing.

The same schedule applies to posted video visit windows unless CIDNET or jail staff show a different availability.
| Visit Type | Scheduling Channel | Hours | Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site video | customer.cidnet.net or 1-888-984-1903 | 2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.; 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. | Dress and behavior rules apply; visits may be changed for security. |
| At-home video | customer.cidnet.net or 1-888-984-1903 | Same posted windows unless system shows otherwise | Registration is online; inappropriate conduct can end privileges. |
Ouray County Inmate Bond
Bond and release questions often overlap with court records. The Montrose jail bond page says the jail accepts cash and surety bonds around the clock, including holidays. Property bonds are not accepted by the jail and must be handled through the courts. Online bond funds go through JailATM after the booking desk is called at least one hour before planned posting.
The Montrose jail bond page explains bond types, booking and bond fees, JailATM steps, and release timing rights.

Bond payment does not erase the court case. The next court date and bond paperwork still matter after release.
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Booking fee | $30 | Assessed to inmate account and not required to secure release on money bond. |
| Welcome pack fee | $5.50 | Assessed upon transfer from holding to housing. |
| Bond fee | $10 per bond | Not required to secure release on money bond under posted rights notice. |
| Credit card payment fee | Maximum 3.5% | Chargeable but not a basis to hold a defendant. |
Inmate Records Beyond Jail
CIDNET and JailATM serve limited jail functions. CIDNET supports calls, email, text, and visits. JailATM supports money deposits, commissary gift packs, and some bond-fund procedures. Neither vendor is the court case file, and neither replaces the Ouray sheriff records request process for local law-enforcement records.
The CIDNET service page is the vendor channel for video visits and messages in the research file.

For sentenced state custody, use the Colorado Department of Corrections offender search. A person in state prison may not appear on the current county jail list, while a person awaiting local proceedings may not yet appear in the DOC system.
