This is a private reference site, not a sheriff's office, jail, court, corrections agency, or VINE service. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, pull official booking records, change a roster, or obtain court files for you. Use the official contacts below for custody, release, court, records, supervision, and notification questions.
Official Kiowa Release Contacts
Kiowa County does not operate a jail, so release questions often split between the Kiowa County Sheriff's Office, Bent County Jail, Bent/Kiowa Dispatch, and Kiowa County Combined Court. Start with the office that controls the record you need.
Kiowa County Sheriff's Office
1305 Goff Street, PO Box 427, Eads, CO 81036
Phone: 719-438-5411
Fax: 719-438-2205
Use the sheriff's office for Kiowa County incident or case reports and local arresting-agency records. Reports are reviewed before release. The research file lists a $30 first-hour minimum, $30 for each additional hour, $0.25 per copy page, correct prepayment, and a 72-hour wait after the request form is turned in. Active court cases and protected categories may restrict what can be released.
Bent County Jail
11100 County Road GG.5, Las Animas, CO 81054
Phone: 719-456-1363
Inmate search: Bent County inmate-info feed
Jail inmate-info page: Bent County Jail inmate info
Use Bent County Jail for many local Kiowa custody and release checks because it is the documented regional holding facility for Kiowa arrestees. If the embedded jail page has technical difficulty, try the direct inmate-info feed before assuming no online record exists.
Bent/Kiowa Dispatch Center
11100 County Road GG.5, Las Animas, CO 81054
Phone: 719-456-1363 ext. 301
Fax: 719-456-2003
Emergency: 911
Dispatch serves both Bent and Kiowa counties, is staffed 24 hours, and acts as master control for the Bent County Jail. Use this route when an urgent custody or release question cannot be resolved from the online feed.
Kiowa County Combined Court
1305 Goff Street, PO Box 353, Eads, CO 81036
Phone: 719-931-6010
Fax: 719-931-0656
Hours: Monday-Thursday, 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 12:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.
Use the court for docket entries, bond settings, dispositions, sentence records, probation orders, and case-file document requests. The court record is often the durable source after a released person no longer appears in a jail feed.
Kiowa County Probation
15th Judicial District Probation
Chief Probation Officer: Stephanie Hofmeister
Email: stephanie.hofmeister@judicial.state.co.us
Phone: 719-336-8340
Use this contact for court probation questions. Probation is separate from CDOC parole.
Colorado Department of Corrections and Parole
Offender search: CDOC offender search
Parole hearings: CDOC parole hearing search
Use CDOC for state-prison custody, parole, release or discharge fields, and parole-board scheduling. CDOC is not the source for a short local jail hold unless the person was transferred into state custody or supervision.
Colorado VINE
State page: Colorado VINELink
Phone: 1-888-263-8463
Use Colorado VINE for custody-status checks and release or custody-change notifications. VINE is a notification system, not a certified court record or complete historical archive.
Where to Look First
Use these site pages when you need a plain-language path before contacting an office.
- For a released Kiowa detainee or release record, begin with the home page because it explains the local jail, court, CDOC, and records-request sequence.
- For supervision after release, use parole and probation to separate court probation from CDOC parole.
- For recent local releases, use the 24-hour release list and then confirm with Bent County Jail or dispatch when timing matters.
- For a release date or alert, compare projected release date guidance with the VINELink check notification path.
- For a specific office or system, use the facility pages listed in the footer.
- For a state-prison sentence, use CDOC offender search and the parole-hearing search instead of a county jail roster.
- For federal prison or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator because those records are separate from Kiowa and Bent County systems.
