Conejos County Jail Overview
Conejos County Jail is operated by the Conejos County Sheriff's Office. The facility appears in the Costilla research file because Costilla County's Dec. 22, 2025 official notice says the Costilla Board of County Commissioners would attend a work session with Sheriff Danny Sanchez, Conejos County commissioners, and the Conejos County Sheriff to discuss housing Costilla County inmates in the Conejos County jail. That source supports describing Conejos as a regional or contract housing option for Costilla inmates, not as a Costilla County facility.
For people arrested in Costilla County, Conejos County Jail should be treated as a possible second-step custody location. A person may start in Costilla's local arrest and court process but be housed in Conejos if Costilla staff or court records identify that arrangement. The person would still have a Costilla case or Costilla arrest context, but the day-to-day housing confirmation, visitation appointment, and jail counter questions would go through Conejos while the person is physically there.
Jurisdiction note: Conejos County Jail is in Antonito and is run by Conejos County. Do not use Conejos visitation or contact rules for Costilla County Jail unless the person is actually housed at Conejos.

Conejos County Jail Capacity and Population
The research file did not locate an official Conejos County Jail rated capacity, current population count, current average daily population, or Costilla-specific bed-allocation figure. The facility map lists the capacity as not located in official sources. Because Conejos is included here as a possible serving or contract facility for Costilla inmates, the page should not borrow Costilla's Vera statistics or treat them as Conejos jail statistics.
| Topic | Research Finding | How to Handle It |
|---|---|---|
| Facility role | Possible Costilla housing option discussed in official Costilla notice. | Describe as out-of-county serving or contract context. |
| Capacity | Not located in official sources used for this project. | Do not publish a bed count. |
| Population | No official Costilla-specific population count at Conejos located. | Confirm directly with Conejos jail if custody is current. |
| Facility type | County jail. | Do not describe it as state prison, BOP, or ICE custody. |
How to Look Up an Inmate at Conejos County Jail
If the person was arrested in Costilla County, start with Costilla's sheriff or court channels before calling Conejos. The research does not rely on an official Conejos online inmate roster for Costilla facts. The strongest route is direct phone confirmation after Costilla says the person is housed there, or after a court or sheriff record points to Conejos as the housing location.
- Call Costilla County Sheriff's Office at 719-672-0673 or 719-672-3302 and ask whether the person was transferred or housed out of county.
- If staff identify Conejos County Jail, call the Conejos jail number at 719-376-6778. The Conejos sheriff number is 719-376-2196.
- Use the person's full legal name, date of birth or age, arrest date, and Costilla court case number if one exists.
- Confirm whether the person is physically housed at Conejos, whether the case remains in Costilla Combined Court, and whether visits require an appointment.
- If the person is not at Conejos, return to the Costilla fallback chain: court docket, CDOC for sentenced state custody, BOP for federal sentenced custody, ICE ODLS for immigration detention, and VINELink for notifications where covered.
Conejos County Jail Address and Contact
The official Conejos County sheriff page lists the sheriff's office physical address, mailing address, sheriff phone, jail phone, fax, and leadership. Sheriff Garth Crowther and Undersheriff Blake Crowther are listed in the research file from official Conejos materials. For a Costilla County inmate housed there, use the jail phone for current custody, visiting, and basic housing questions, then use Costilla court or sheriff channels for Costilla case records.

Visiting Someone at Conejos County Jail
Conejos County Jail has the clearest facility-specific visitation rule set in the research file. The official Conejos Sheriff's Office information page states that visitation is on Saturdays and Sundays, with female visitation from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and male visitation from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. It also states a maximum 15-minute visit, a maximum of three visitors per inmate, appointment only, and call ahead. These details should be applied only to Conejos jail visits. They should not be copied to Costilla County Jail or Las Animas County Jail.
| Day | Hours | Type / Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | Females 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.; males 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | Appointment only, call ahead. |
| Sunday | Females 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.; males 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | Appointment only, call ahead. |
| Visit length | Maximum 15 minutes | Confirm before traveling. |
| Visitor count | Maximum three visitors per inmate | Ask about minor visitors and ID rules. |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Conejos County Jail
The research file did not fully inspect Conejos mail, commissary, phone, video, or money-deposit rules because Conejos is a serving or contract facility in the Costilla project rather than the primary Costilla jail. The official mailing address is available, but an inmate-mail address is not the same thing as a confirmed inmate-mail format. Before sending funds, setting up calls, or mailing property or letters, call the Conejos jail and ask for current rules.
| Service | Provider / Detail | Costilla-Case Caution |
|---|---|---|
| Mail Address | PO Box 37, Conejos, CO 81129 is the sheriff mailing address. | Confirm inmate name, ID, and housing line before mailing. |
| Phone / Video | Vendor not documented in this research file. | Call 719-376-6778 before opening an account. |
| Money Deposit | Commissary vendor and fees not documented here. | Do not send money until Conejos confirms the accepted method. |
| Case Records | Costilla case records remain with Costilla court or sheriff if the arrest/case is Costilla. | Do not expect Conejos to provide Costilla court documents. |
Booking and Intake at Conejos County Jail
For a Conejos County arrest, Conejos County Jail would be the local county jail. For a Costilla County inmate, the more relevant issue is transfer or contract housing after an initial Costilla arrest or court process. Costilla's Dec. 22, 2025 notice shows that officials were discussing inmate housing at Conejos. It does not, by itself, publish a transfer policy, Costilla inmate count, medical-intake rule, classification policy, or list of charges that can be housed there.
A Costilla-related custody check should ask three distinct questions. First, is the person physically at Conejos County Jail today? Second, is the criminal case or warrant still connected to Costilla County or Costilla Combined Court? Third, are visits, mail, money, and phone access governed by Conejos jail rules while the person is housed there? Those answers can change after release, transfer back to Costilla, transfer to Las Animas, movement to CDOC after sentencing, or transfer to another agency.
Records and Case Routing for Costilla Inmates at Conejos
Housing location and record custodian are not always the same. Conejos jail staff can confirm whether a person is physically housed there, subject to their release rules and privacy limits. Costilla County Sheriff's Office remains the starting point for Costilla jail booking or official-action records identified in the research, and Costilla Combined Court remains the source for Costilla court records once a case is filed. Colorado Judicial Branch dockets can help locate a hearing, but the docket page is not a document-copy portal.
If the case has moved beyond local jail custody, use the correct statewide or federal locator. CDOC Offender Search is for sentenced Colorado prison custody. BOP's locator is for federal inmates from 1982 to present and may not display every federal pretrial situation. ICE ODLS is for immigration detention and is not a mugshot gallery. VINELink can be useful for custody or release notifications where the person and facility are covered.
About Conejos County Jail
Conejos County Jail appears on this Costilla facility page set because of official Costilla County source material, not because it is inside Costilla County. That distinction matters for readers who are trying to avoid a wasted trip or a misdirected records request. The jail is in Antonito, while Costilla County's sheriff and court offices are in San Luis. If a person was arrested in Costilla but housed at Conejos, family members may need to contact both counties: Conejos for jail housing logistics and Costilla for the arrest, court, bond, or records trail.
Rural San Luis Valley custody routing can be less visible online than in large counties with daily roster dashboards. The absence of a Costilla online roster makes direct phone confirmation more important, especially when out-of-county housing is possible. Use the jail number for immediate Conejos housing questions, then keep notes on who confirmed the location, the date and time of the call, and whether the person is still connected to a Costilla court date.
Before traveling: Confirm the person is physically at Conejos, make a visitation appointment, and ask whether Costilla court obligations affect the visit.
