Yuma County CO Jail basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 970-332-4805

This facility is for adult inmates.

The Yuma County CO Jail is a medium-security detention center located at 310 Ash St, Suite G Wray, CO which is operated locally by the Yuma 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. Yuma County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Wray Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

The Yuma County Detention Center is a maximum-security facility designed to receive, process and house inmates who are detained prior to trial, as well as inmates in different phases of the criminal justice system. The Detention Center also houses inmates sentenced by County and City courts. The facility has a rated capacity of 756 inmates.

​While the number of juveniles in the system was inordinately small compared to the regular population, the impact was disproportionately great. Juvenile offenders require close supervision. They require extra staff to address special management and program issues. Juveniles must be separated from adult inmates by “sight and sound.” They must be provided with the opportunity to attend a school taught within the facility, they must be afforded daily exercise, and their unique nutritional needs must be met.

The Yuma County Detention Center operates and manages its own Inmate Commissary Store. The profits from commissary sales and telephone use are used to purchase items used by the inmates. No tax dollars are used to subsidize the inmate purchases, which include library books, educational supplies, and inmate supplies such as televisions, DVD players, recreational equipment and the inmate Law Library.

All Inmates will have access to services provided by the United States Postal Service to send and receive legal mail, general correspondence, and publications.

Contraband and material which constitutes a threat to the safety, security, or order of the Yuma County Detention Center shall be prohibited. Such items will be processed in accordance with office policy.
