Cost of Care

Everyone being booked into the Gunnison County Detention Center is charged a $30.00 booking fee. Additional costs may apply. Please contact Detention Staff for further questions or concerns.

Inmate Money

If money is brought in for an inmate and they have a debt, the money will automatically go towards that debt and not their commissary. Inmates will know if they have a debt because they will have signed a receipt acknowledging the amount charged to them. Please ask them before you hand over any money. It is not the detention officers job to know if any inmate has an outstanding debt.

Inmate Property

The less you bring into the Gunnison County Detention Center the better. You are allowed to bring one paperback book with you during you sentence. However, when you leave the book is then donated to the Detention Center’s Library. For anything else please contact the Detention Center for more information.
