Detention Center - Services
The Routt County Detention Center is designed to accommodate approximately 54 inmates in minimum, medium, and maximum security units and special housing areas. The facility has accommodations for both male and female detainees, utilizing separate housing.
The Routt County Detention Center opened in 1991 at its current location at 2250 Shield Drive in Steamboat Springs. The facility contains one large indoor recreation yard and law library.
Persons in custody in minimum-security areas are housed in dormitory-style housing. While they are not free to leave the module, they are free to move about within the unit. Each two-story quadrant in the minimum-security areas includes sleeping rooms. The expanded facility was designed to keep down costs, maximize security and reduce prisoner movement from one area to another.
