The Lincoln County 24-Hour Release List
A 24-hour release list usually means a rolling view of people who left a jail during the last day. For Lincoln County, the research did not find an official Sheriff's Office page that publishes that kind of release feed. The closest official online starting point is the current inmate roster at inmateroster.lincolncountysheriff.us, which indexed text identifies as the Lincoln County Sheriff roster with a run date/time and current-custody fields.
That distinction matters. A person who bonded out of the Lincoln County Jail, was released from charges, served a short sentence, or was moved to another authority may no longer appear on the current roster. Absence from that roster can be a clue, but it is not the same thing as an official release record. The confirmation trail runs through the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office jail or records process, VINE notification records, the Colorado Judicial Branch case record, and CDOC, BOP, or ICE if another custody system became involved.
The Sheriff's jail page is also relevant because it says the Lincoln County Jail houses people arrested within Lincoln County until they are able to bond or be released from their charges. That local wording supports the practical same-day question: was the person released to the community, or did custody simply move somewhere else?
How to Check Who Was Released in the Last 24 Hours
Because Lincoln County has no dedicated 24-hour release feed in the reviewed official materials, the same-day workflow starts with current custody and then moves to release confirmation. Use as many identifiers as possible: full name, aliases, date of birth, JailId if known, booking date, arresting agency, court case number, and the approximate release date.
- Check the Lincoln County Sheriff current roster at https://inmateroster.lincolncountysheriff.us/. If the person appears, the roster is a current-custody lead, not a release confirmation.
- If the person does not appear, do not assume release. Ask whether the person might have bonded out, been released from charges, transferred for court, extradited, moved to CDOC, or moved to federal or immigration custody.
- Use the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office records request form at lincolnsheriff.net/forms/Records_Request_Form.pdf when a formal jail booking or release record is needed.
- Check Colorado VINE at vinelink.vineapps.com/state/CO/ENGLISH if the person may still be in custody or if you registered for release or movement alerts.
- Search Colorado Judicial Branch dockets or records for the bond order, dismissal, sentence, future court date, or disposition. The Lincoln County court page lists a records-research email for court record questions.
- If the release followed a prison sentence or transfer to Limon Correctional Facility, use CDOC offender search at doc.state.co.us/oss, not the county jail roster.
- For a named-person search that is not limited to the last day, start with the broader custody workflow on Home.
This order keeps the roster in its proper role. It is useful for checking whether someone is presently held at the Lincoln County Jail, while the records request, court record, or custody-agency record is what can explain how the jail stay ended.
What the 24-Hour Release List Shows
No official Lincoln County 24-hour release table was found, so there is no published release-date field, release-reason field, or retention window to report. The available public roster fields are current-custody fields. Use the table below to separate what the roster can show from what must be confirmed through records, VINE, court, or another custody agency.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Run date/time | The roster's current snapshot timing when displayed or indexed. It is not a release timestamp. |
| JailId | A local jail identifier that can help the Sheriff's Office locate the booking or release record. |
| Photo | A current-roster image field. The research did not find a released-inmate photo archive tied to a 24-hour list. |
| Name | The name used in the jail roster. Check aliases and spelling if the person does not appear. |
| Charges | Charges associated with the current booking, not a final court disposition. |
| Current Disposition | The current custody or case status shown while the person remains visible on the roster. |
| Total Bail | Bail information for the current custody event, where available. |
| Release date/time | Not found as a public 24-hour feed field. Request the jail release record or verify through court/VINE when needed. |
| Release type or reason | Not found in a public recent-release table. Possible reasons include bond, release from charges, time served, transfer, extradition, or movement to another authority. |
The lack of a public release-date field is the reason the fallback chain is important. Lincoln County's records form can ask for the booking or release record, while a court record may explain the order that caused release or transfer.
If There Is No 24-Hour Release List Online
When a same-day release feed does not exist, use the official channels that create or receive custody information. The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office records request form is the local records path. It says a requester must complete the form for a copy request, that search and copying fees must be paid at the time of request, and that some requests may take up to 3 working days if the record is inactive, unusually long, or needs LCSO administration review. The form also warns that requesters may be referred to the District Attorney or courts for records the Sheriff's Office cannot provide.
For alerts, the Lincoln County Jail page links to VINELink and says users can be notified by phone, email, or text if an offender is released or moved. VINE is not a complete release record, but it is a strong practical option when a person is currently held and the question is whether they leave custody today.
For the court side, use the Colorado Judicial Branch docket and court-record channels to look for bond orders, case dispositions, sentences, mittimus records, or future dates. For a Colorado prison sentence, use CDOC offender search and CDOC records. For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System. A wider local timing discussion is on Jail Releases: 72 Hours.
Released vs Still in Custody
A person who is still listed on the Lincoln County Sheriff roster should be treated as currently held or recently visible in current custody. A person who has been released may drop from that roster. That drop does not say why custody ended. It could mean bond release, time served, charges released, transfer to another jail, extradition, CDOC transport, a federal hold, an ICE transfer, a spelling mismatch, or simply that the person was never booked into Lincoln County.
The release record answers the question the roster cannot: how custody ended. For a county jail event, that record may include JailId or booking number, name, identifiers, arresting agency, booking date, charges, court or case number, bond amount, current disposition, release date/time, release reason, and whether the person was released to the community or transferred. For a CDOC case, the useful fields are status, facility/location, release date, parole status, sentence information, and time-computation details.
Lincoln County has two facility contexts. A person released from the Lincoln County Jail is a county-jail release. A person released from Limon Correctional Facility is a Colorado Department of Corrections release and should be checked through CDOC offender search, CDOC records, parole-board information, or CWISE if supervision is involved.
Bond Releases Within Six Hours
Lincoln County's bonding information gives one concrete same-day release rule. The Sheriff's bonding page says bond is set according to a court-approved schedule and is meant to assure a defendant's appearance in court. It also says the Sheriff's Office must release a defendant physically present in the jail who posts bond within six hours after bond is set.
The same source lists cash bond, surety bond, personal recognizance bond, and PR bond with co-signer as bond types. It also lists a $10 bonding fee for each bond and a $30 booking fee each time a person is processed into the jail, while making clear that bond fees, booking fees, and other fees or debts do not have to be paid to secure release on money bond.
The sheriff's bonding page is the best manifest image for this same-day release topic because it documents the local six-hour bond-release rule.
Use that bond timing only for the situation it describes: a defendant physically present in the Lincoln County Jail after bond has been set and posted. It does not create a 24-hour public release archive and it does not apply to CDOC, BOP, ICE, or another county's custody.
Current Roster Limits
Lincoln County's current roster is valuable, but it is not a 24-hour release list. Indexed roster text shows JailId, Photo, Name, Charges, Current Disposition, Total Bail, and run date/time. A sheriff social/search result says the roster is updated in real time, but the reviewed official materials did not identify a release tab, a released-last-24-hours field, or a fixed public retention period after release.
That means a same-day search should preserve uncertainty. If the name appears, record the visible fields and verify directly before treating the person as releasable or released. If the name is gone, move to the records form, VINE, court records, and other custody systems rather than treating the absence as final proof.
