Eagle County Jailers Make Time For Prisoners

EAGLE, Colorado — Andrew Vigil, Leadville native, was tired of working construction. He didn’t want to work outside in the cold and in the snow anymore. He had been doing it for 10 years. So, when Vigil saw the jail deputy job posting in the newspaper, he was interested.

That was six and a half years ago.

“I didn’t know what I was getting into at the time. It is a lot different than what I expected,” Vigil says. “It is a lot more responsibility than I thought it would be. You need to be patient to do the job and you need to be able to multi-task.”
