No Online 24-Hour Feed Found
Yuma County, Colorado does not appear to publish a public rolling 24-hour release list. The official local sources identified in the research are the Yuma County Sheriff's Office site and the sheriff's county jail page, but those sources provide the jail contact path rather than a searchable release feed. That distinction matters for anyone trying to learn who was released from the Yuma County Jail today: the answer may exist in the jail records system or the court case, not on a public web page.
The search results for this topic are also easy to misread because many "Yuma County inmate" results lead to Yuma County, Arizona. For this Colorado page, rely on Wray, Colorado details, 970 phone numbers, yumacountysheriff.net, yumacounty.net, Colorado Judicial Branch pages, Colorado VINE, and CDOC. Do not use Arizona jail portals or Arizona release instructions for a Yuma County, Colorado release.
Same-Day Confirmation Steps
For a 24-hour question, move quickly from the absent feed to the agencies that can confirm the event. A caller should prepare the person's full name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest or booking date, arresting agency, and case number if known. Broad requests for "everyone released today" are less useful than a specific person and date range.
- Contact the Yuma County Jail or Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's office is at 310 Ash Street, Suite G, Wray, CO 80758. The office phone is 970-332-4805, the fax is 970-332-5820, and the jail phone identified in the county jail source is 970-345-2244. Office hours from the sheriff source are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
- Ask whether the person was released, transferred, or is still held. If staff cannot disclose the answer by phone, ask which custodian handles booking and release records and what written request format is required.
- Check the Colorado Judicial Branch docket for Yuma County. The statewide docket search requires at least one filter in addition to date, so use a party name, case number, court location, or similar filter. The Yuma County court page also links records resources and a weekend bond hearing schedule.
- Search Colorado VINE at vinelink.vineapps.com/state/CO/ENGLISH or call 888-263-8463. If the person appears, read the custody status and register for release notifications if a future alert is needed.
- If the county answer is "transfer" or if the case led to a Colorado prison sentence, use the CDOC offender search. CDOC is the correct path for released or discharged state prisoners and people on parole, not for a short local jail stay.
- When an official same-day record is needed, submit a written request under the county's CORA procedure and expect the sheriff or other custodian to classify criminal-justice records under CCJRA where applicable.
For a named-person search that is not limited to today, start with the broader Yuma County released inmates workflow. For a wider recent window, use the 72-Hour Release List page.
Court Docket for Bond-Out Checks
Bond releases are a common same-day reason someone disappears from jail quickly. The Yuma County page in the Colorado Judicial Branch links a Yuma County docket search, records request, and a weekend bond hearing schedule. A docket may not state "released" in one plain label, but it can show bond hearing, bond posted, release order, warrant cleared, next hearing, sentence, probation start, or mittimus/commitment. Those case events often explain why the jail custody event ended.
The court contact is separate from the jail contact. Yuma County Courthouse is at 310 Ash Street, Suite L, Wray, CO 80758. The courthouse phone is 970-592-6120, fax is 970-332-4119, and the email listed in the research is yumacountycourts@judicial.state.co.us. Court records are especially useful when the release reason is bond, dismissal, probation, sentence, time served, or a court order.
Fields to Ask For
Because there is no published 24-hour list, there are no public Yuma County 24-hour feed fields to describe. Do not assume an online list shows name, booking number, release time, bond, charges, or mugshot. Instead, ask for the existing booking or release record for a specific person and date range. The custodian decides which fields are releasable under CORA, CCJRA, court-access rules, sealing rules, and other restrictions.
| Requested field | Why it matters for a same-day release |
|---|---|
| Full name and date of birth if known | Helps separate similar names and locate the correct booking or court case. |
| Booking number and booking date/time | Ties the release event to the correct jail intake. |
| Release date/time | Confirms whether the person left county custody during the last 24 hours. |
| Release type and release authority | Shows whether the event was bond, court order, time served, dismissal, probation, transfer, or another authority. |
| Charges listed at booking and court case number | Connects the jail event to the court docket and later disposition record. |
| Bond amount or bond status | Useful when the release occurred after bond was posted or modified. |
| Transfer destination, if any | Prevents confusing transfer to CDOC, another county, BOP, ICE, or another authority with community release. |
| Booking photograph, if requested and releasable | Subject to Colorado booking-photo rules and any custodian restrictions. |
VINE and CDOC Checks
Colorado VINE is the notification path when the person and facility are present in the participating data feed. The VINE page describes custody-status and criminal-case information, and Colorado county guidance gives 888-263-8463 as the toll-free number. VINE can send custody-change notifications by phone or email, and the VINELink app supports in-app, phone, email, text where available, and TTY. Use it for current or recent custody status and future alerts, not as a permanent jail archive.
CDOC is a different system. If a Yuma County case resulted in state prison, search CDOC by DOCNO when possible because CDOC identifies that number as the primary identifier. Name searches may return records beginning with the entered letters, and the record name may be the arresting or prosecuted name rather than the current legal name. A state-prison release, parole status, or discharge belongs in CDOC and parole records, not in a Yuma County 24-hour jail list.
CORA and CCJRA Request Path
Yuma County's CORA page says public-records requests must be written to the official custodian and must be specific as to the records and relevant dates. The county states that requests sent to the wrong person are not accepted, and a vague request may need to be narrowed before the response time begins. The public-records request form may be obtained from the County Administrator at 310 Ash Street, Suite A, Wray, CO 80758, phone 970-332-5796 ext. 221.
For timing and fees, the county says normal production is three working days beginning on the first business day after any required deposit has been paid. An extension may apply when extenuating circumstances exist, generally not more than seven working days, with notice inside the three-day period. Standard-page copies are 25 cents. Research and retrieval may be charged at actual cost, capped at $41.37 per hour, with an estimate and deposit before retrieval. Criminal-justice records may be evaluated under CCJRA even when the county's general page is labeled CORA.
Release, Transfer, or Still Held
A 24-hour check should separate three outcomes. First, the person may have been released from the Yuma County Jail on bond, time served, dismissal, court order, or probation. Second, the person may have left the jail by transfer to CDOC, another county, federal custody, immigration custody, a medical setting, or transport. Third, the person may still be in custody even if an online search does not show a record. The research found no official Yuma County current-roster feed, so absence from the web is only a clue.
Use the sheriff or jail for the physical custody answer, the court docket for the legal reason, VINE for custody-status notification when data is present, CDOC for Colorado prison or parole cases, BOP for federal sentenced custody, ICE ODLS for immigration custody where applicable, and the written records path for a durable official record.
