San Juan Contract Roster Route
San Juan County has no local jail roster because San Juan County has no jail. The official San Juan County Sheriff's Office page states that the county contracts with La Plata County for jail services. That means a person arrested in Silverton or elsewhere in San Juan County may have a San Juan sheriff record, a San Juan court case, and a La Plata jail custody record at the same time. Those records are related, but they are not held in one database.
For current jail custody, the official starting point is the La Plata County Detentions inmate search page. That page sends users to VINELink for people in custody at the La Plata County jail, to the Colorado Department of Corrections for sentenced state prisoners, and to ICE for immigration custody. A San Juan County inmate records search should follow that same split instead of looking for a nonexistent San Juan jail lobby or a San Juan-only jail roster.
The captured La Plata inmate-search page shows the official route to VINELink, CDOC, and ICE for detention searches.

The screenshot matters because it confirms that the contracted jail does not publish a separate San Juan County roster table.
Use San Juan County Inmate Lookup
The cleanest San Juan County inmate lookup starts by asking what kind of record is needed. Current jail custody for a San Juan arrestee is checked through La Plata and VINELink. Local arrest reports, traffic tickets, and sheriff-generated criminal-justice records route through San Juan County's open-records process. Court charges route through the Colorado Judicial Branch San Juan County page and the court record request form.
- Confirm the arresting place. If the arrest was made by San Juan County or in Silverton, the local records question begins with the San Juan County Sheriff's Office.
- Open the La Plata County inmate-search page and follow the VINELink route for current La Plata jail custody.
- Search Colorado custody by name in VINELink. If a matching person appears, open the profile or More Info area when available.
- Record the Offender ID if bond or kiosk payment may be needed. La Plata's bond instructions say that ID appears in VINELink More Info.
- If no current jail result appears, check whether the person was released, transported, booked under another spelling, sent to CDOC, placed in federal custody, or handled by ICE.
Do not use the Colorado DOC locator for a same-day San Juan County arrest unless the person is already a sentenced state prisoner. DOC is a prison locator, not a local jail roster. A San Juan court docket can also exist after release, so a missing jail record does not mean the court case is gone.
San Juan County Roster Search Fields
VINELink is an app-driven public custody and notification portal, so the static research capture did not expose every label used in a live search. The supported fields below are the ones documented from the official La Plata pathway and research capture. They are enough for a careful San Juan County jail roster search without inventing fields that were not verified.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| State | Selection | Yes | Use Colorado for La Plata jail custody linked to San Juan County arrests. |
| Person or offender search | Text/search flow | Unspecified | VINELink controls are rendered by the live app; exact labels were not visible in static capture. |
| Name | Text | Unspecified | Search by person name when an offender ID is not known. |
| Offender ID | Text | When known | La Plata bond instructions say the ID appears under Offender ID in VINELink More Info. |
| Submit controls | Button | Yes | The live app provides search or submit controls; exact button text was not captured. |
Note: If spelling is uncertain, try a shorter name search before assuming the person is not in custody.
San Juan County Inmate Profile Fields
A San Juan County inmate record in the contracted jail context should be read with care. The research did not confirm a full live VINELink profile for La Plata custody, so exact claims about mugshots, housing units, charge lists, or bond fields would be unsupported. The official La Plata pages do confirm several custody-service fields and uses.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Offender ID | Identifier found in VINELink More Info, according to La Plata bond instructions; required for online or kiosk bond loading. |
| Custody status | Whether the person is currently shown in La Plata County jail custody through the VINELink route. |
| Facility | The La Plata County jail route for San Juan County detainees held under contract. |
| Bond relevance | Whether the custody record can help locate the identifier needed for TouchPay or kiosk bond steps. |
| Mugshot | Not confirmed in the static VINELink capture; do not assume a public booking photo appears online. |
| Charges | Not confirmed as a VINELink field in the static capture; formal charges should be checked with the court. |
San Juan County Custody Systems
San Juan County inmate records become confusing when one person moves across systems. La Plata jail custody covers pretrial detainees, local-sentence inmates, holds, and people waiting for transfer. CDOC covers sentenced Colorado state prisoners. The BOP locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to the present. ICE ODLS is the official immigration-custody locator. A person can leave one system and then appear in another.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Does Not Show |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or short local sentence | La Plata/VINELink custody route | Final court outcome or state prison placement. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | Colorado DOC inmate locator | Same-day county jail bookings or local bond steps. |
| Federal prisoner | Federal BOP inmate locator | County booking records or state court docket details. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Local criminal charge details or jail service records. |
The BOP search accepts number searches by BOP Register, DCDC, FBI, or INS number, and name searches by first, middle, last, race, age, and sex. Results may list name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location. ICE ODLS is separate and should be used only for suspected immigration detention.
San Juan Contract Jail Facility
There is one facility page for San Juan County custody service because the facility map identifies one contracted jail. The La Plata County Detention Facility is operated by the La Plata County Sheriff's Office and serves as the practical jail-service facility for San Juan County arrestees who must be held in jail. Its official pages handle custody lookup, bond, visitation, mail, money, phone, tablets, property release, and work release.

San Juan County Booking Records
A San Juan County booking path starts with the arresting agency, then moves to the contracted jail if detention is required. The practical chain is arrest or warrant contact, identification and officer reports, transport decision, intake at La Plata, public custody update through the La Plata/VINELink channel, and court or bond handling. La Plata's public pages do not publish a precise timeline for when a new booking appears in VINELink.
Booking does not equal conviction. A booking record may reflect allegations at intake, while the court record later shows what the Sixth Judicial District Attorney filed. For charges and hearing dates after an arrest, use the San Juan County Judicial Branch page and the record/document request form. For custody, use La Plata/VINELink. For booking photos, use the records-oriented options described on the San Juan County jail mugshots page.
San Juan Contract Jail Visits
Visitation for a San Juan County detainee held at La Plata is video-visitation oriented. La Plata's official visitation page points visitors to JailATM for account setup. Visitors must be at least 18 unless accompanied by an adult. On-site visits are limited to two visitors, with a child under age two allowed on a lap. The facility may deny, cancel, or terminate a video visit because of court orders, emergencies, misconduct, or restrictions.
| Rule | La Plata Detail |
|---|---|
| Account route | JailATM for visitation account setup and related tablet services. |
| Visitor age | Visitors must be 18 unless with an adult. |
| On-site limit | Two visitors at a time; child under age two may sit on a visitor's lap. |
| Items barred | No bags, purses, cell phones, electronics, or personal items except keys and identification. |
| Dress and conduct | Dress rules and conduct rules are enforced; misconduct can end a visit or bar later visits. |
San Juan County Inmate Contact
La Plata separates personal mail from legal mail. Personal letters and photos go to the Jonesboro, Arkansas processing address using the inmate name and inmate name number. Legal mail goes to the jail in Durango. Books and magazines are no longer accepted for inmates effective September 1, 2024, while tablets and the in-house library remain available. Photos may be limited by format, and prohibited items include extra stamps, paper, gifts, postcards, greeting cards, and mail with foreign substances.
| Contact Type | Address or Vendor |
|---|---|
| Personal mail | La Plata County Jail, Name of inmate, Inmate Name Number, P.O. Box 16120, Jonesboro, AR 72401. |
| Legal mail | Inmate's Name, c/o La Plata County Jail, 742 Turner Drive, Durango, CO 81303. |

Note: La Plata states that messages, photos, phone calls, mail, and visits may be recorded and monitored.
San Juan County Bond and Funds
After a San Juan County inmate record is found in the La Plata custody route, bond and account steps depend on the jail and court order. La Plata lists TouchPay online, the jail lobby kiosk, bondsmen, and exact cash. The Offender ID from VINELink More Info is required for online or kiosk bond loading. Exact cash matters because La Plata says the jail cannot make change or break large bills.
| Money Channel | Detail |
|---|---|
| Lobby kiosk | Cash, credit card, or debit card for inmate account deposits. |
| Phone deposits | 1-866-232-1899. |
| Online deposits | TouchPay portal or TouchPayDirect as linked by official La Plata pages. |
| Service fee | La Plata states a service fee is charged for electronic or portal deposits. |
| Jail debt split | If debt exists, 60 percent of each deposit goes to debt and 40 percent to commissary or phone until paid. |
Note: Confirm current La Plata custody and any court hold before sending money, posting bond, or scheduling a visit.
