As concerns among many in Colorado rise over inmates being released early from jail on bond, one local sheriff has decided to take action in an effort to increase transparency.
Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams announced on Monday afternoon that his agency would now publish not only the names, birthdays and charges of those being released on bond.
Many inmates were released early at low bond levels during the pandemic by state and court orders handed down, originally intended to decrease odds of COVID-19 exposure. However, as the world largely returns to lifestyles similar to that before the pandemic, the Weld County Sheriff’s Office says it has seen early releases stay steady as crime increases.
Because of the questions they were receiving from the public, the sheriff’s office elected to provide more information on their website as to who is associated with releases. More transparency is something the sheriff and the Weld County Courts both told CBS4 they support. However, the extent and method of doing so was not mutually agreed upon.
