Find out where they are in El Paso County
Start with Inmate Search. Match the full legal name and date of birth before relying on a result. If the arrest is recent, the record may take time to appear while booking is completed.
El Paso County Sheriff's Office provides an inmate search and separate inmate-services information. Confirm the person first, then use the current jail information for the next question.
Check the bond and court case
Use El Paso County Court for current court information. The court decides the bond amount, bond type, and release conditions. Mile High cannot change the court's order.
Keep the court case number separate from the jail booking number. If more than one case or hold appears, check each one before deciding what can be done next.
What to write down before you call
You do not need every detail before calling, but a few pieces of information can make the conversation easier.
- Full legal name and date of birth
- Current El Paso County custody or booking information
- Case number, charges, bond amount, and bond type when shown
- Any separate hold or no-bond line on the record
- Your questions about payment, co-signer duties, or collateral
Call Mile High or start the application
If you know the person is being held in El Paso County, call Mile High with their name and the information you found. You can also start the application online from a phone or computer.
If the county publishes separate jail or bonding instructions, check Inmate Services before relying on a payment method or posting procedure.
Submitting an application does not post a bond by itself and does not guarantee approval or release. If a professional surety bond is an available option, a bail agent can explain the agreement and what is required to proceed.
After an authorized bond is posted
The detention facility handles release processing. Staff may still need to complete identity checks, paperwork, hold checks, property return, or other facility steps. Mile High cannot control that timeline or promise an exact release time.
Keep the signed paperwork and receipt, confirm the next court date, and follow every condition in the court order.
Common questions
How do I find someone being held in El Paso County?
Start with Inmate Search. Use the person's full legal name and date of birth, and confirm the result with the holding agency if anything is unclear.
Can I call Mile High before I know the El Paso County bond amount?
Yes. Call with the person's name and what you know. Bond, booking, and case details can be added as the official record becomes available.
Does a Mile High application guarantee release from El Paso County?
No. The court decides the bond and release conditions, and the detention facility controls custody and release processing. An application does not guarantee approval, bond acceptance, or release.
