According to Denver Sheriff Department’s 2018 Inmates Report, there was a total of 38,498 inmates in 2018 with an additional 3,217 individuals taken into custody in the first quarter of 2019. Among those incarcerated, most of those in the local jails haven’t actually been convicted of any crime. Most likely, they are waiting for their trial and are stuck in jail because they could not pay for bail. According to an article by the National Conference of State Legislatures, 60 percent of inmates in jail are simply waiting for the disposition of their respective case and not really serving time.

This not only causes saturation and overcrowding in the jails, making it costly for the government but it’s also very costly for defendants too. Those stuck in jail are away from their jobs, which means they are not able to support their families. For this reason alone it is very important that those charged and imprisoned should immediately contact a Denver County bonding office.
