Weld County North Jail Complex basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 970-356-4015

This facility is for adult inmates.

The Weld County North Jail Complex is a medium-security detention center located at 2110 “O” St Greeley, CO which is operated locally by the Weld County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Weld County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Greeley Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

New prisoners are questioned and observed right away to find out if they need immediate medical or mental health care. A telephone call is allowed as soon as possible unless the prisoner is violent.

A nurse and a counselor will talk with a new prisoner within a short time. The nurse finds out if they need to see a doctor, take prescriptions or have other medical problems. The counselor finds out if they are thinking of hurting themselves or need some other help with their mental health.

Counselors "classify" prisoners who don't get out of jail within 24 hours to find out where they should be housed. A prisoner's current charges, past history, behavior and other factors are checked so only prisoners with similar backgrounds are housed together. That helps keep everyone safe and secure. Even then, anyone who feels afraid of someone else needs to tell staff.

Inmate Life – Housing units, called "Pods", are made up of several individual rooms connected to a large room. A correctional officer is working inside each housing unit 24 hours daily. Individual rooms can have one bed or more. A housing unit may hold as many as 80 inmates.

Inmates have to stay in their room or cell with the door closed or locked several times a day. This is called a "lockdown" period. Even with lock downs, inmates are still outside their individual room or cell about 10 hours every day.

A nurse is always in the building and clinics with the jail physician and dentist are available several times weekly. Co-payments are charged for appointments not required by a nurse. If you have important information about an inmate's medical or mental health, call the jail and ask to speak to the medical unit.
Three nutritionally balanced meals are served every day and recreation time is scheduled several times each week. There are both indoor and outdoor gyms.

An in-house library is available. Inmates are allowed to check out up to two books each week.

All basic hygiene supplies and clothing are issued by the jail. Some inmates have to wash their own underclothing but uniforms and bedding are washed and regularly exchanged by the jail. Inmates are expected to shower at least twice weekly and may ask for a razor to shave. Haircuts may be available at cost.

Programs are offered for self-improvement. An inmate needs to talk with a counselor to find out what may be available.

A grievance procedure is available to inmates if they have a complaint or problem. Grievance procedure is described in The Inmate Handbook available in each housing unit.

Inmate Mail – All mail is screened and we do not accept many things for safety and security reasons. Mail without a return address is not opened and returned to the Post Office. Some things we do not accept include packages, food, snacks, stamped envelopes, stamps, books, newspapers, magazines, items with glitter, clippings, or anything made with glue. Items not accepted will be returned. Ask the inmate what is allowed. No more than four pictures or 10 letters are allowed at one time. Postage-paid envelopes and larger envelopes may be purchased through commissary. Indigent inmates will receive one free envelope per week. Indigent inmates are defined as inmates with a balance of less than .53 on their inmate account for 30 or more consecutive days.

Inmate Money – A money account is opened with money on a prisoner at the time they come to jail. Money in this account is used by the inmate to pay for medical visits and buy commissary. Commissary includes things the jail does not issue like playing cards, snacks, portable radios, deodorant, etc.

To put money in an inmate’s account you can mail a money order or make a deposit to Access SecureDeposits via a lobby kiosk, the phone, and the internet. Regardless of how Access SecureDeposits is made the fee is just $4.00. Nothing is accepted in person.
