This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, pull an official booking record, or speak for a sheriff, jail, court, probation office, CDOC, VINE, BOP, or ICE.
Official Release Contacts
Cheyenne County does not operate its own jail, so the first contact is usually the Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office. Ask which agency created the record, whether a contracted jail held the person, and which office can confirm the release.

Use Kit Carson County only after Cheyenne County, the court, or another official source confirms that the person was housed there. Cheyenne County contracts jail operations with surrounding counties, but the research does not show one single housing jail for every case.
- For a released person or release record, start with the home page search path, then contact the sheriff or confirmed housing jail.
- For supervision after release, use parole and probation and the 15th Judicial District probation contact.
- For a same-day release question, read the 24-hour release list page before assuming a Cheyenne County feed exists.
- For a state-prison date or alert, use projected release date and VINELink check.
- For a specific facility route, use the facility pages in the footer and verify the actual custodian for the case.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, search the Colorado Department of Corrections offender search or the Colorado inmate locator service. CDOC search fields include DOCNO, last name, first name, and gender. The researched CDOC main phone reference is 719-579-9580.
- For custody notifications, use Colorado VINE. Colorado VINE phone workflow support lists 1-888-263-8463, with phone, email, text, TTY, and in-app notifications where available.
- For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator; for immigration detention, use the ICE detainee locator. Those systems do not replace a Cheyenne County or contracted-jail release record.
