This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, change a VINE notice, retrieve an official booking record, or speak for Custer County, Fremont County, CDOC, the courts, BOP, or ICE. Use the official contact points below for records and status questions.
Where to Send a Custer Release Question
Custer County release research is split because the local jail closed and current detainees are housed through Fremont County. Start with the office that matches the event you need to verify.
- Full released-inmate search path and records-request steps: start at the home page.
- Post-release supervision after a court sentence or prison release: see Post-Release Supervision.
- Same-day release questions: see 24-Hour Releases and call Fremont Intake/Booking if needed.
- Release dates and alerts: use Release Date Lookup and VINE Inmate Check.
- Booking photos and release records: use the Custer or Fremont records channels, depending on which agency holds the record.
- State-prison releases: use the Colorado Department of Corrections offender search.
- Federal or immigration custody: use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator only when the facts point to those systems.
