Moffat County Detention Facility Overview
Moffat County Detention Facility, also called Moffat County Jail in some source material, is operated by the Moffat County Sheriff's Office. It is the local detention facility identified in official county and sheriff materials for Moffat County. The Detentions Division page describes the facility as responsible for the care and safekeeping of prisoners who are incarcerated there, including sentenced prisoners and people awaiting trial. Craig arrestees who require detention are routed to the county facility rather than to a separate long-term city jail identified in the research.
The jail sits in the Public Safety Center at 800 W. 1st Street, Suite 100, Craig, CO 81625. The current sheriff is Chip McIntyre. The official Detentions Division page names Detention Lieutenant Tim Jantz and Detention Sergeant Nannette Burd as detention contacts. The jail phone, sheriff main line, records counter, remote bond process, video visitation, commissary deposit path, and records request form are the main access channels because the sheriff pages reviewed did not publish a public current inmate roster or public mugshot roster.
The Moffat County Sheriff's Office Detentions Division page shows the facility description, capacity, detention contacts, video visitation link, and HB21-1280 compliance certificate.
That official detention page is the strongest local source for facility identity, bed counts, video-only visits, and bond-law compliance.
Moffat County Detention Facility Capacity
The sheriff's current public Detentions Division page lists 93 adult beds and 8 juvenile beds. Older state and research datasets use different figures, so capacity should be read by source and date. A 2017 Colorado Legislative Council survey listed Moffat capacity as 125, while Vera historical data listed a rated capacity of 92 in 2013. Those older figures are useful for context, but the current sheriff page is the best local source for the facility bed description.
A current average daily population dashboard was not located in the sheriff or county sources reviewed. That gap should not be filled with a guessed number. The facility holds pretrial detainees, sentenced jail inmates, and people in custody while court, warrant, bond, transfer, or release decisions are pending.
Look Up Moffat County Detention Facility Inmates
No official online roster, current-inmate search portal, booking report, or searchable custody database was located on the Moffat County Sheriff's Office CRIMEWATCH pages, the county site, or the linked inmate-services page. The practical lookup starts with the jail phone at (970) 824-4498. Have the person's full legal name, date of birth or age, and arrest date if known. Ask whether the person is in custody, whether bond has been set, whether a court date is available, and whether booking or charge information can be released by phone.
- Call Moffat County Jail at (970) 824-4498 for current custody status.
- Use the sheriff main line at (970) 824-4495 only for routing or for remote bond payment inquiries when the question is bond related.
- Check CRIMEWATCH Moffat County arrest posts for publicized arrest context, not for proof of current custody.
- Use the sheriff Records Release Form for booking records, media, incident reports, or release records that are not posted online.
- Search CDOC, BOP, ICE ODLS, or VINELink only when the custody stage points outside the Moffat County jail.
The county jail is the right channel for a person arrested recently in Moffat County and not yet sentenced to state prison. The Moffat County inmate records workflow covers the broader fallback chain for jail, court, state prison, federal, and immigration lookups. A person sentenced to the Colorado Department of Corrections should be searched in CDOC after transfer. A federal prisoner belongs in the BOP locator, and immigration custody belongs in ICE ODLS or the ICE Contact Center.
Moffat County Detention Facility Contact
The facility phone and public counter address are the key points for custody questions, records routing, bond confirmation, mail-format questions, and visitor instructions. The records and civil counter has weekday business hours, but the research does not say the detention booking desk is limited to those hours. Bond inquiries have a separate 24/7 phone instruction on the sheriff's remote bond page.

Moffat County Jail Video Visitation
Official Moffat County sources state that all inmate visitation is conducted by video. The inmate-services page adds that each housing area has terminals where one inmate at a time may visit with a friend or family member. HomeWAV is the current video visitation provider, and visitors create an account and schedule a visit through HomeWAV. No public in-person social visitation schedule was posted in the sheriff pages reviewed.
| Visit Type | Schedule | Provider / Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Video visitation | Not published in sheriff text | HomeWAV and housing-area terminals | Official source says video only, with one inmate at a time using a terminal. |
| In-person social visitation | Not available per official page | N/A | The sheriff page says all inmate visitation is conducted by video. |
| Attorney or professional visits | Not located in public source | Call jail | Do not assume the public HomeWAV rule controls professional visits. |
The Moffat County inmate services page is the source for HomeWAV visitation, bond rights, and JailATM deposit instructions.
Because the sheriff page does not publish visit lengths, rates, dress rules, or cancellation rules, those details should be confirmed through the jail or HomeWAV account flow before scheduling.
Money and Commissary at Moffat County Jail
Commissary at Moffat County Detention Facility is provided through Summit Food Services. Friends and family may deposit money online through JailATM after creating an account. The sheriff page says account creation requires an email address, name, date of birth, address, and driver's license information. The official source does not list deposit minimums, maximums, service fees, refund rules, kiosk options, or phone-deposit options.
| Service | Provider / Detail | Required Info | Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commissary | Summit Food Services | Inmate account handled through jail process | Not published in sheriff text. |
| Money deposit | JailATM online deposit path | Email, name, date of birth, address, and driver's license information for account creation | Not published in sheriff text. |
| Bond payment | Call (970) 824-4495 first | Detention deputy verifies amount and gives online directions | Bond amount only required for release; posted notice discusses limited fee treatment. |
Do not use JailATM as a bond shortcut. The sheriff's remote bond page says the bond process starts by phone, and a detention deputy verifies the amount before giving payment directions. Bond payments are made to the holding county, not to the incarcerated person.
Moffat County Remote Bond
Moffat County posts a separate remote bond payment page. The first step is to call (970) 824-4495, a number the sheriff page describes as available 24/7 for bond payment inquiries only. A detention deputy verifies the bond amount and gives further direction for online payment. Bond questions about amount, next court date, and release timing should start there rather than through commissary or a public search form.
Bond rights: Moffat posts Colorado bond-rights language stating that bond fees, booking fees, and other debts do not have to be paid to secure release on a money bond.
Colorado HB21-1280 and C.R.S. 16-4-102 are important for Moffat jail release timing. The sheriff's inmate-services notice says a sheriff must release a defendant within six hours after a PR bond is set and the defendant has returned to jail, or within six hours after a cash bond is set, the defendant has returned to jail, and the defendant or surety has notified the jail that bond is ready, unless extraordinary circumstances exist. A required electronic-monitoring fit can create a narrow delay of up to 24 hours.
Moffat County Jail Records Requests
Records and media requests can be made electronically, in person, or by U.S. mail through the Moffat County Sheriff's Office Records Release Form. The sheriff records page describes the Records Division as the custodian of law-enforcement reports and says requests are processed in the order received. Requests may not be fulfilled at the time of submission. Completed forms can be emailed to records@sheriff.moffat.co.us, brought to the Public Safety Center, or mailed to Moffat County Sheriff's Office, ATTN: Records, 800 W. 1st St., Ste. 100, Craig, CO 81625.
| Form Field / Fee | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Case Number | Helpful if known, especially for booking, incident, bond, or release records. |
| Nature of information requested | Use plain wording such as booking record, booking media, incident report, or release record. |
| Name of person you are inquiring about | Use the booked person's full legal name. |
| Electronic Records / Audio Video | The form lists a $20.00 fee line for this category. |
| Copy Fee | The form lists $0.25 per page for paper copies. |
Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act and Colorado Open Records Act rules apply to the review of law-enforcement and jail records. The Moffat form includes denial reasons for matters contrary to state statute, prohibited by court rule or order, contrary to public interest, or other stated reasons.
Moffat County Detention Booking
The county detention-deputy job description supplies local detail on intake. Detention deputies take custody of inmates, perform visual, pat, and strip searches as part of detention duties, prepare documents and reports, enter information into the computer system, request or obtain criminal-history information, fingerprint and photograph inmates, issue clothing and supplies, assess inmates before incarceration, process mail, fill commissary orders, administer medications, escort or transport inmates, oversee work details, and process releases.
- Booking
- The jail intake process after arrest, including identity entry, fingerprints, photo, and initial custody records.
- Classification
- The assessment process used before housing. Moffat sources do not publish exact scoring or housing criteria.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that may affect release even when local bond is addressed.
- PR bond
- Personal recognizance release based on court conditions and a promise to appear rather than a cash payment.
No official source published a booking-duration rule, roster refresh interval, property-release schedule, or public housing-unit list. Those gaps are important because Moffat County does not publish a live jail roster in the official sources reviewed. Confirm exact timing, property, mail, and release questions with the jail before relying on a public post.
Mail and Programs at Moffat County Jail
Official Moffat sources confirm that detention deputies process inmate mail, but they do not publish a detailed mail-address format, postcard rule, scanning vendor, prohibited-items list, or inmate ID format. Use the facility address only after confirming the exact mail format with jail staff. The safer mailing format starts with the inmate's full legal name and the Moffat County Detention Facility address, but the jail should confirm whether a booking number or other line is required.
The public Moffat pages are stronger on custody mechanics than program catalogs. They document inmate handbooks, video visitation, commissary deposits, intake tasks, medication administration, mail processing, work details, and bond-rights compliance. They do not publish a public list for GED, treatment, religious services, reentry, tablet programs, or formal work release. Program and medical-access questions should go to jail staff.
Moffat County Jail Roster Limits
Moffat County Detention Facility does not have a public current roster or mugshot roster in the official sheriff and county sources reviewed. CRIMEWATCH Moffat County can show public arrest posts, warrant posts, cases, news, and agency summaries, but it is not a custody database. A Craig Police Department arrest post does not prove the person is still in custody, and a sheriff press release does not replace jail confirmation.
For active custody, call the jail. For a filed case, use Colorado Judicial Branch and Moffat Combined Court. For sentenced state prison custody, use CDOC. For federal sentenced custody, use BOP. For immigration custody, use ICE ODLS and the ICE Contact Center. For victim notification and custody alerts, use VINELink Colorado. Use the Moffat County inmate population hub to compare current county jail custody with state, federal, and immigration custody.
Note: Confirm custody, bond, visit scheduling, and mail format with Moffat County Detention Facility before sending money or traveling.
