Locate an adult booking, distinguish the sheriff jail from nearby systems, and find the correct complaint or sexual-safety channel.
Booking, bond and release questions go to the jail, not the arresting agency. Confirm where the person is before you act.

Adult Arapahoe County Detention Facility only. Youth, Aurora municipal, state, federal/ICE, court, probation and alternative-sentencing operations remain separate boundaries.
Use the county search and call 720-874-3500 when a record is unclear.
Use the actual provider account because county virtual and on-site instructions conflict.
Use the Phoenix scan for personal mail, TouchPay for trust and provider accounts for calls/video.
Check every bond and hold, property, medication, transport and court condition.
Custody search, intake, housing and facility boundaries.
Start with the county's Charges and Bonds search. It is available in English and Spanish. Match the booked name and identifying details; save the inmate identifier, active charges, bond information and next court details shown. A booking entry reports custody and allegations, not guilt.
Do not fund a phone, visiting or trust account until the name and facility match. If the person may be in Aurora municipal, youth, state or federal custody, use the separate custodians described below.

Arapahoe County Detention Facility: 7375 S Potomac Street, Centennial, CO 80112; 720-874-3500. The Sheriff's Office identifies this as its adult detention facility and says the facility operates 24 hours. That statement does not establish public lobby, property or service-counter hours.
| Place | Use |
|---|---|
| 7375 S Potomac Street | Adult jail and visitor destination |
| 7325 S Potomac Street | Arapahoe County Justice Center, not the jail |
| 7305 S Potomac Street | Probation, not the jail |
| 13101 E Broncos Parkway | Sheriff headquarters, not inmate delivery |
Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center is a Colorado youth facility for ages 10–17; the Aurora Detention Center is a separate city jail. Colorado DOC and the Federal Bureau of Prisons run separate locators. Each of those custodians has its own visiting, mail and account procedures.

Medical communication, records, grievances and PREA.
The public policy portal is available, but the reviewed public pages do not state the inmate grievance steps, form/kiosk route, response deadline or appeal deadline. The person inside should request the current Inmate Information Handbook and ask housing staff which form or submission route currently applies, naming the event, date, people involved, requested remedy and documents. Keep copies or reference numbers when allowed.
A family member can call 720-874-3500 to ask how the person can access the process. For an external complaint about employee conduct, Sheriff Internal Affairs may be reached at 720-874-4014; that is not a substitute for urgent medical care, a required internal appeal or PREA reporting. A missing public deadline is not permission to delay—file promptly and ask for the written rule.

The Sheriff's Office states zero tolerance for sexual abuse and sexual harassment. A person inside may report to staff. From outside, contact PREA Coordinator Darby Wiscamb at dwiscamb@arapahoegov.com. The county says a reporter may request anonymity and an investigation will occur; the reporter may be contacted while remaining anonymous.
For an immediate danger outside the facility, call 911. Do not submit the same sensitive facts on public social media. A PREA report is not the same as an ordinary grievance, medical request or criminal-court filing. The reviewed page does not publish a separate victim-advocate hotline, retaliation appeal clock or third-party status portal; ask the coordinator how follow-up is protected.
The county’s PREA incident form asks for the incident date and location, a description, the victim and suspect, and contact information. Save a copy and ask the coordinator how to submit it securely; the retrieved form does not print a mailing or email destination. The general police-reporting portal directs PREA users to the separate PREA information page; its ordinary no-known-suspect intake rules should not discourage reporting abuse to the coordinator.

Jail411 lists the public agencies that make arrests so families can find the right door. We are not a government agency, a police department or a live custody-records service.
Often the sheriff runs the county jail, but the jail is a separate facility with its own address, phone and rules. Open the jail page for booking, visiting, mail and money details.
Ask the person, check any paperwork or citation, or call the sheriff's non-emergency line. City arrests belong to that city's police; unincorporated areas and county roads usually belong to the sheriff; freeways usually belong to the state patrol.
The jail can. The arresting agency may confirm an arrest but does not hold the person. Call the jail's booking or information line first.
Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Include the agency's official page when you have it. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
