Bail Bond Info
Like the Broomfield Detention Center, the bond process is similar at the Adams County Facility. When securing the release of an inmate from the facility, only the amount of the money bond and a $10 fee needs to be paid. A maximum fee of 3.5% will be applied to Credit Card payments. Additional fees and debts do not need to be paid in order to secure the release on a money bond.
The processing and collection of bond fees go through the records staff. Inmates have the ability to post their own cash bond and include bond fees, as well as being able to relinquish bond money for other debts that they might have.
No other fees will be charged, including any lobby Kiosk fees or fees associated with cash, checks, or money orders.
Bond Payments need to be made out to Adams County and not the incarcerated individual. Similar to the Broomfield County Detention Center, inmates must be released within six hours after a cash bond has been set. However, there may be circumstances that may delay the release upwards of 24 hours to ensure inmates are fitted with required electronic monitoring.
Individuals who post a money bond will receive a copy of the bond paperwork including information for the upcoming court dates.
The Adams County Detention Center offers an online portal for processing bond payments. A credit or debit card can be used for these transactions and can be done remotely.
Additionally, a Licensed Bail Bondsman can bond out an inmate. Bondsman will charge a fee for their services in addition to the Booking and Bonding Fees posted above.
