What This Site Organizes
Colorado law leaves many custody and court records open in some form, but a released person may not remain visible in the same place where a current detainee appears. The Otero County Sheriff's Office documents local jail booking and release records, CDOC handles state-prison status and discharge information, probation and parole offices supervise many people after release, and federal prison releases use the BOP system. This site gathers those paths, request steps, and lookup explanations so readers can tell which record system fits the situation.
What Is Covered
The site is built around practical release questions for Otero County, Colorado:

- A facility page for the Otero County Detention Center, including the address and local custody path.

- Records-request context for booking records, release records, and booking photos when the official source requires a written request.
What This Site Cannot Do
Otero County Released Inmates is privately run. It is not part of the Otero County Sheriff's Office, the Otero County Detention Center, CDOC, Colorado courts, VINE, or any other government agency.
- It cannot release, hold, transport, or transfer anyone.
- It cannot post bond, arrange visitation, or send money for a visitor.
- It cannot give legal advice or interpret a court order for a case party.
- It cannot promise that every phone number, fee, address, or outside link is current.
Only the office that owns the record can confirm custody status, charges, release, or discharge. This site points to the likely record path, but the official answer comes from the sheriff's office, court, corrections agency, or other originating office.
