Colorado jail bond payments disrupted by Microsoft outage, delaying inmate releases

hindustantimes.com —

A global Microsoft service outage is disrupting online bond payments at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility in Colorado, delaying the release of inmates who have been granted bond. The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office said jail officials are not receiving email notifications needed to process online payments due to the Outlook disruption. Until services are restored, bond payments for immediate release must be made in person at the jail. The outage, which began on November 12, affects Microsoft 365 services including Teams and Copilot, stemming from Exchange Online infrastructure problems. Microsoft has ruled out malicious activity and is working to restore server stability.
