LARIMER COUNTY JAIL POPULATION
The Larimer County Jail is the ONLY jail in all of Larimer Coun- ty. Through the successful use of alternative sentencing, Larimer County has lowered the average daily jail population, despite no- ticeable increases in population, which extends the useful life of the current facility and saves tax payers money.

ALTERNATIVE SENTENCING Alternative Sentencing is a cost effective alternative to jail time for lesser offenders. Offenders “pay back the commu- nity” through work for nonprofits and local governments and they pay administrative fees to reduce the cost of the program.
MINIMIZING FAILURE TO APPEAR WARRANTS
Larimer County pro- vides services beyond arrest for all crimes inside and outside of city limits including prosecution, sentenc- ing and incarceration.
Individuals scheduled to appear in court can expect a phone call re- minding them of their ap- pointment. This simple system has decreased “failure to appear” war- rants by nearly 40%.
