ICE Transfers from Gilpin Jail
A Gilpin County Jail release can be a community release, a court-driven release, a transfer to CDOC, or a pickup by another agency. If the record mentions ICE, immigration detainer, or transfer, the person may have left county custody without being released to the community. That is why the release type on the sheriff record matters.
The research found no official source showing the Gilpin County Jail as a current ICE detention contract facility. The relevant Colorado ICE facility source is the Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora. Use ICE tools only when an individual case points to immigration custody. Do not assume every foreign-born or out-of-county person has an ICE hold.
Confirm ICE Detainee Release
ICE custody has its own records path. A county jail may be able to state that a person left Gilpin custody, but ICE status must be checked through immigration detention channels. The county record is still useful because it may show the transfer date, pickup agency, and whether a local case remains pending.
- Ask Gilpin sheriff records for the release sheet or custody-status record and whether the release was to ICE or another agency.
- Check Gilpin Combined Court for the local case posture, including bond, disposition, sentence, or pending hearings.
- Use the ICE detention facilities directory to locate facility information.
- Use ICE detainee lookup routes when the person may be in immigration detention.
- If the person may be housed in Aurora, use the Denver Contract Detention Facility page for facility-specific contact information.
The ICE facility directory source is shown below. It is a facility-location source, not a Gilpin County jail release archive.
Use it after the local release record points toward ICE, detainer, or immigration detention.
ICE Denver Facility Contact
The official Aurora facility page says facility-specific detainee information can be requested by phone during posted hours. The research captured 303-361-6612 for the Denver Contract Detention Facility page. Since ICE facility procedures can change, use the official ICE facility page before relying on a saved phone note.

Detainer vs Community Release
An ICE detainer or pickup changes the meaning of a Gilpin County release. The sheriff record may show that the person was no longer held by the county, but the person may still be detained by ICE. A release to ICE should not be described as a standard jail release to the community.
| Record label | What to check | What it may mean |
|---|---|---|
| Released to community | Sheriff release sheet and court docket. | Local custody ended without a documented transfer. |
| Released to ICE | ICE locator and facility page. | County custody ended, immigration custody may continue. |
| Hold or detainer | Sheriff record and requesting agency. | Another agency may affect release timing. |
| Transfer | Destination agency and court record. | The person moved to another custody system. |
Gilpin Records for ICE Transfers
Start local if the first event was a Gilpin jail booking. Ask the sheriff for a booking or release sheet, transfer entry, hold or detainer status, and the destination agency if the person did not walk out to the community. The researched Gilpin sheriff records route is records@gilpincounty.org, with the main phone at 303-582-1060 and administrative services listed at 2960 Dory Hill Rd., Suite 300, Black Hawk, CO 80422.
Then check the court. A local case may continue even after an ICE transfer. The Gilpin Combined Court docket and record request form can show hearing type, case number, bond, disposition, sentence, or other event that explains why the jail hold ended.
If ICE becomes the active custody system, keep the request separate from the local jail request. The sheriff can document the Gilpin booking and the county release or transfer event. ICE can address immigration detention status and the facility route. The court can address the Colorado criminal case. Mixing those requests often produces a short "not in custody" answer from the wrong agency.
The Denver Contract Detention Facility page is useful only when the person is believed to be housed there or when ICE points to that facility. The national ICE directory is the broader facility route. For a person who never entered immigration custody, the ICE page will not explain a bond release, a probation sentence, or a CDOC transfer from Gilpin County.
VINE may also be useful before a custody change, but it should not be treated as an ICE file. If VINE shows that a person left a jail or prison, confirm whether the next agency is listed and then move to the correct custodian. A VINE alert can flag the timing of a transfer, while the sheriff release sheet and ICE facility source explain the actual route.
When requesting records, use neutral custody language: ask for the release date, release type, transfer destination, and hold or detainer status. Do not ask the county to decide immigration questions. Ask ICE or the facility for immigration detention status if the person is believed to be in ICE custody.
Note: ICE detention is civil immigration custody and should be checked separately from Colorado jail, CDOC prison, and BOP federal prison records.
