The public can look for someone in custody by using the official inmate search link on this page for the facility’s roster or locator.

FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at LaVista Correctional Facility ?
Visits usually require advance approval and scheduling through the facility or the Colorado Department of Corrections visiting system. Check the current visiting rules before going, because hours, visitor limits, and video visit options can change.
What do I need to bring when visiting LaVista Correctional Facility ?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, military ID, or passport. Visitors should follow the dress code and may be searched before entry; items allowed inside are usually limited.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates generally cannot receive incoming calls, but they may be able to place approved outgoing calls through the facility’s phone provider. Video visits or remote visits may be available if the facility offers them and the visitor has an approved account.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Mail should include the inmate’s full name and identifying number, if known, along with the facility mailing address. All mail is usually inspected, and items such as cash, prohibited materials, or packages not sent through approved vendors may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary lets inmates buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, writing supplies, and other basic goods. Family or friends may be able to deposit money into an inmate account through approved payment methods, subject to facility rules and limits.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at LaVista Correctional Facility ?
Because this is a state correctional facility, most people held here are serving sentences and are not eligible for bail in the same way as pretrial detainees. If the person has a pending court case or bond issue, contact the court or the county jail where the case originated for bond instructions.
What happens during the intake process at LaVista Correctional Facility and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review records, assess security and medical needs, and assign housing or classification. Online records may take several hours or longer to update after intake or transfer, so the inmate may not appear in the system immediately.
