Parole Decisions After State Prison
Parole is supervised release from a Colorado state-prison sentence. It is separate from Alamosa County probation and separate from release on bond from the county jail. A person may be released from a CDOC facility to parole in the community while still being supervised, or may later discharge the sentence entirely. CDOC Offender Search and the parole calendar are the main public starting points.
How to Check a Parole Hearing
- Open the CDOC parole calendar page at https://www.doc.state.co.us/oss/index.php?ref=pblist.
- Review the available hearing months.
- Hover over a date to see that day's schedule or click a calendar title for a larger calendar when available.
- Recheck the calendar because hearings are subject to change and modifications are available the following business day.
- For application or rescission hearings, use the offender's case manager route.
- For revocation hearings, contact the jail where the offender is located.
Use CDOC Offender Search alongside the calendar because the person-level record may show parole, release, discharge, or custody status after the hearing.
Parole Records and Contact Path
The research identifies the Colorado State Board of Parole and CDOC as the relevant parole-hearing environment. Public decision access can be interactive and may not expose a stable static URL for every result. Outcome labels should be taken from the live CDOC record or hearing material when available, not guessed from the schedule alone.
About Colorado Parole Hearings
The CDOC parole calendar page states that parole hearings are open to the public with advance arrangements. General outcomes to understand include granted, denied, deferred, continued, rescinded, revoked, reparoled, and discharged. A hearing on the calendar is not the same thing as a release date; board action, an approved parole plan, detainers, pending felony charges, extraditable warrants, discipline, and statute can all affect actual release.
Eligibility and Date Changes
C.R.S. 17-2-201 governs State Board of Parole duties, while C.R.S. 17-22.5-405 governs earned time that can affect sentence computation. Recent Colorado materials from 2025 and 2026 show amendments and active changes, so pages should not calculate a date from a single percentage. Use CDOC's displayed date, the court sentence, and current law.
Parole Hearing Outcomes
Parole calendar information is not the same as a final release record. A hearing may be granted, denied, deferred, continued, rescinded, revoked, or followed by reparole or discharge depending on the case. Exact labels should be read from CDOC or parole-board records when available. The calendar helps locate the hearing month or date, while CDOC offender search and parole communications help explain status.
For Alamosa County cases, the court sentence and mittimus explain why the person entered CDOC. The parole calendar explains state parole review. The jail is relevant again if a revocation hearing is coordinated through a jail where the person is held.
Colorado Parole Eligibility
Colorado parole eligibility depends on offense date, sentence type, violent-offense status, earned time, presentence confinement credit, statute changes, and parole-board authority. Research sources include C.R.S. 17-2-201 for parole-board duties and C.R.S. 17-22.5-405 for earned time. Recent Colorado legislative materials show active changes, so avoid using a single percentage as a universal rule.
The safest public workflow is to read the CDOC displayed date, check the parole calendar for hearing timing, and use court records for the sentence. If the person is on probation instead of parole, use the Alamosa County Probation page and court docket instead of CDOC parole paths.
