Las Animas County Jail Roster Overview
The Las Animas County Detention Center is the local jail operated by the Las Animas County Sheriff's Office at 2309 E. Main Street in Trinidad. Sheriff Derek Navarette's county page identifies the office at the Garcia Justice Center and lists the main sheriff and jail information number as 719-846-2211. The public roster is not a searchable web database. It is an HTTP roster index that points to dated PDF jail rosters published by LASO.
The official roster index is at http://208.117.75.166/jailroster/. Research found that the same path over HTTPS returned a 404, so the HTTP link matters. Visible roster entries included June 1, 2026, May 31, 2026, and May 6, 2022. The June 1, 2026 PDF was generated at 03:17 and showed a final count of 23 inmates. That count is a current roster count from that PDF, not a bed capacity, average daily population, or annual booking figure.
The LASO roster covers people physically held in the Las Animas County Detention Center, including local arrestees, court holds, sentenced jail time, and contract holds shown on the report. Agencies seen in the current PDF included LASO, TPD, and CSP. People sentenced to the Colorado Department of Corrections, people in federal BOP custody, and people held in immigration custody are not searched through this PDF unless they are physically in the county jail and listed on the roster.

The dated PDF layout is why a browser find search inside the PDF is more useful than looking for a last-name form on the index page.
How to Use the Las Animas County Inmate Roster
The practical answer to how do I find someone in the Las Animas jail is to start with the newest LASO PDF, then confirm by phone when the PDF does not answer the question. The roster row is the public view. It does not open a separate profile page, and it does not show a release-status field, housing unit, date of birth, address, race, gender, height, weight, or court date in text extraction.
- Open the LASO roster index over HTTP at the official IP-based roster path.
- Choose the newest dated roster. As of June 1, 2026, the newest listed file was the June 1, 2026 Jail Roster.
- Select View to open the PDF in the browser, or Download to save a copy from the LASO index.
- Use the PDF viewer's find function for the person's last name, booking number, inmate number, statute text, docket string, or agency abbreviation.
- Read the row fields carefully, especially Charges, Arr Agency, Bail, and Days Served.
- If the person is missing, newly arrested, released, transferred, or subject to a withheld record, call 719-846-2211 for current jail confirmation.
- If the person was sentenced to prison, use CDOC Offender Search instead of the county roster.
- If the matter may be federal or immigration custody, use BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE channels as appropriate.
The index also links a LASO roster subscription form. That form asks for a name and email address and is for notification when a new roster is uploaded. It is not an inmate search, a records request, or a way to ask about a specific person. The official subscription page screenshot was captured from http://208.117.75.166/jailroster/subscribe.php.
Use the subscription form only for upload alerts; custody questions still go to the roster, jail phone line, or a records request.
Las Animas County Roster Index Fields
The LASO roster index has table controls rather than search fields. There is no last-name box, booking-number box, date-of-birth field, facility dropdown, or result sorting tool. The person searching must choose a dated roster and search inside the PDF file.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Date | Table column | No | Dated roster upload, such as 06-1-26. |
| Name | Table column | No | Roster title, such as June 1, 2026 Jail Roster. |
| Actions | Buttons or links | No | View opens the PDF; Download saves the PDF through a roster action URL. |
| Subscribe to the LASO jail roster | Link | No | Opens an upload-notification form with Name, Email address, and Subscribe controls. |
What a Roster Record Shows
The June 1, 2026 LASO roster is a row-based custody report. It gives enough information to identify a booking and begin follow-up, but it does not publish every field a jail may maintain internally. C.R.S. 17-26-118 requires jail keepers to maintain daily jail data, including fields that may not appear in the public PDF. Public visibility and custodian release decisions are separate from internal recordkeeping duties.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Photo | A photo column exists, but text extraction did not confirm embedded image visibility. |
| Booking No | Local booking identifier, with examples such as B001296 and B002990. |
| Inmate No | Local inmate or person number, with numeric examples in the roster. |
| Name | Person's name in last-name, first-name format, sometimes wrapped across lines. |
| Date Booked | Booking date and time, such as MM/DD/YYYY plus time. |
| Charges | Statutes, warrants, docket references, contract holds, sentence notes, or explanatory text. |
| Arr Agency | Agency abbreviation such as LASO, TPD, or CSP. |
| Bail | Total bail amount shown for the row, including $0.00 for some holds or contract entries. |
| Days Served | Custody-day count on the roster. It is not always the same as final sentence credit. |
Docket strings such as D0362026CR000032 or C0362026M000035 can appear inside charge text. Those strings are useful when checking court dockets or asking the courthouse for case records, but the roster charge is still a booking or custody entry, not a conviction.
Finding County, State, Federal, and Immigration Inmates
Las Animas County has two detention facilities that are easy to confuse because both are tied to the Trinidad area. The Las Animas County Detention Center is the county jail for pretrial detainees, local arrestees, court holds, local sentenced jail time, and contract holds shown by LASO. Trinidad Correctional Facility is a Colorado Department of Corrections prison in Model, about 15 miles east of Trinidad, and holds sentenced state prisoners. The county roster does not replace CDOC Offender Search.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What to Know |
|---|---|---|
| County jail custody | LASO roster PDF index, 719-846-2211, or sheriff/jail records request | Use for current Las Animas County Detention Center detainees and listed holds. |
| Sentenced Colorado prison custody | CDOC Offender Search | Use for Trinidad Correctional Facility and other Colorado state prisons. |
| Custody notifications | VINELink | Use for notification where Colorado and local data participate. It is not the roster. |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator or U.S. Marshals District of Colorado | BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 to present; USMS questions may require court or attorney channels. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Use for immigration custody, not local criminal custody. |
The CDOC Offender Search screenshot was captured from https://www.doc.state.co.us/oss/.
CDOC search fields include DOCNO, last name, first name, gender, and a captcha challenge, which makes it a separate workflow from the PDF roster.
Las Animas County Jail Facilities
Facilities should be checked in this order: the county jail first, then the state prison. The county jail is the proper starting point after a recent Las Animas County arrest. Trinidad Correctional Facility is only the right lookup path after a person has entered CDOC custody.

Booking Process in Las Animas County
Official county pages did not publish a detailed jail intake manual, so the public explanation should stay close to what the roster and Colorado law support. A person may arrive at the Las Animas County Detention Center after a sheriff arrest, Trinidad Police Department arrest, Colorado State Patrol arrest, warrant arrest, court order, or contract hold. The booking record then receives a booking number, inmate number, name, date and time booked, charges or hold text, arranging agency, bail if set, and days served.
New bookings may not appear instantly. The June 1 roster was generated at 03:17, and the index also listed a May 31 file, but no official update schedule was located. If the arrest is very recent, the PDF is stale, or the person may have been released or transferred, the jail phone line is the safer confirmation path. For formal court charges after the booking, use the Colorado Judicial Branch docket and records request process rather than relying on roster charge text.
Visitation, Mail, Money, and Commissary
Official Las Animas County jail visitation, mail, phone vendor, commissary, deposit-vendor, and attorney-visit schedules were not located in the accessible official sources. Do not borrow prison rules from Trinidad Correctional Facility for the county jail. The county jail and the state prison are separate systems with different operators.
| Topic | County Jail Detail Found | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | Not located in official county jail sources. | Call 719-846-2211 before visiting. |
| Video visitation | Not located. | Do not assume it is available. |
| Mail rules | Not located. | Ask the jail for format, restrictions, and rejected-mail rules. |
| Money and commissary | Vendor and fee tables not located. | Confirm custody and accepted payment methods first. |
| Attorney visits | Schedule not located. | Attorneys should coordinate directly with jail or court staff. |
For Trinidad Correctional Facility, CDOC lists visiting Friday through Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Visits must be scheduled by 3:30 p.m. Wednesday before the visitation weekend, and the visiting office email is doc_tcf_visiting@state.co.us. Visitor applications may be mailed or emailed to TCF, but those prison rules do not establish county jail rules.
Requesting Jail Records Under CCJRA
No dedicated LASO records request form was located in the official sources reviewed. For booking or custody records that are not available in the PDF, the practical fallback is to call 719-846-2211, visit or write the sheriff and jail at 2309 E. Main Street, Trinidad, CO 81082, and make a Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act request for the specific record. Include the person's full name, date booked if known, booking number, inmate number, docket number, and the exact record sought.
Colorado's Criminal Justice Records Act, C.R.S. 24-72-301 et seq., governs criminal justice records. C.R.S. 24-72-304 covers inspection rules, while C.R.S. 24-72-305 gives custodians authority to deny inspection where law, court rule, court order, or public-interest limits apply. Booking photos raise additional issues under C.R.S. 24-72-305.5. Juvenile, sealed, expunged, active-investigation, victim-protected, or court-restricted records may be withheld or redacted.
Note: Confirm current custody with the Las Animas County Detention Center before sending money, scheduling travel, or relying on a dated roster entry.
