Pueblo jail capacity, complicated by COVID-19, has consequences

As the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged jails and prisons throughout Colorado, facilities like the Pueblo County Detention Center have been largely unable to accept new inmates. As a result of several changes, many criminals can repeat their crimes again and again without fear of spending time behind bars, according to law enforcement officers. Since March 24, the 10th Judicial District of Pueblo has had a court order in place to limit overcrowding in the jail, intended to help suppress COVID-19 among personnel and inmates.  The order allows law enforcement to use discretion when choosing whether to arrest and book some criminal suspects involved in civil, misdemeanor, traffic or petty offenses.

Pueblo moved to Level Blue on COVID-19 dial, restrictions lessened

There s only one level lower than Blue, but achieving it requires an application to the state. With the county now in Level Blue, all restaurants may operate at 50% capacity, with last call at midnight. Bars are still closed, but offices and noncritical manufacturing can operate at 50% capacity and sporting events may operate with 50 individuals per activity. Level Blue also allows for 50% capacity at outdoor unseated and seated events, as well as indoor events. According to the guidelines, this level offers a stronger endorsement of 100% in-person learning for K-12 schools and higher education facilities. Pueblo County Sheriff Kirk Taylor commended communitywide efforts to help Pueblo County improve on the dial.

Pueblo Health shifts COVID-19 vaccination plans after massive backup

The new Pueblo Mall COVID-19 vaccine site has already seen a large influx of those 70 years of age or older wishing to be vaccinated.
