The Great Denver Jailhouse Hunt: Is Your Buddy Bunkin' with Bubba?
Let's face it, sometimes people end up in places they wouldn't necessarily recommend on Yelp (like, say, jail). Maybe your friend went a little too "wild at Mile High" (and by wild, we mean something that landed them in handcuffs, not just spilled nachos), or perhaps your co-worker's insistence on settling disputes with interpretive dance routines at the local coffee shop finally caught up with them. Whatever the reason, you need to crack the case: is your buddy doing a stint at the Denver slammer?
Fear not, fellow detective! This guide will equip you with the skills to unearth the truth, faster than you can say "caution tape."
How Do I Find Out If Someone Is In Jail In Denver |
Buckle Up, Because Here Comes the Law... (Light Version)
The wonderful world of the internet has blessed us with a nifty tool called the Denver Inmate Search. This magical website, brought to you by the good folks at the Denver Sheriff Department, lets you scour their database for free. All you need is a name, or perhaps a booking number if you're feeling fancy. Just a heads up, this search engine is way more efficient than your drunk Googling skills at 3 AM.
Pro Tip: If you can't remember your friend's last name (hey, it happens!), you can try searching by first name only. But be warned, this might bring up a bunch of John Smiths or Jane Does, so be prepared to do some additional sleuthing (like checking birthdays or middle names).
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
Uh Oh, My Buddy's MIA! What Now?
Don't panic! There are a couple of possibilities:
- They're not in the Denver jail: Maybe they went on a spontaneous vacation to, well, somewhere less likely to involve bars on the windows. In this case, you might want to check with their friends or family, or try searching for inmates in other counties.
- The system is slow: Just like that DMV line you swore would never end, it might take a while for your friend's information to show up in the system. Give it some time and try again later.
Still stuck? Don't fret! The Denver Sheriff's Department has a phone number (720-913-3600) where you can get some good old-fashioned human help.
Remember: Privacy matters! This information is only public for inmates currently being held in Denver.
Tip: Share one insight from this post with a friend.
