COMMON QUESTIONS
ASKED
ABOUT PAROLE
WHA T IS PAROLE?
The release
of
an offender from confinement in a correctional facility by placing them in the
community, under continuing state custody and supervision, with restrictive conditions, which
if
violated permit re-imprisonment.
WHA T IS THE PURPOSE OF
PAROLE?
Most offenders who are
serving
prison
sentences
will eventually return to society, the concept of
parole allowsoffenders to be reintegrated into society, in a manner that providescontrol and
support for theoffender and increases the
safety
of the
public. Simply
discharging a
person
from
prisondirectly back into society, withoutsupervision benefitsneither societynor the offender
and increases the likelihood that the person will re-offend.
WHEN DOES THE PAROLE PROCESS BEGIN?
After
an offender is takenintocustody of the
Colorado
Department of Corrections, the
Time/Release Operations Division projects
the
offenders Parole Eligibility
Date
based upon
the
Sentence Discharge
Date
and
earned time.
Once the offender has served
the
required portion
of
the court imposed sentence Time/Release advises the Board
of
Parole and a Parole
Application Hearing is scheduled.
WHAT
PURPOSE DO
THE PAROLE
DECISION GUIDELINES
SERVE?
The guidelines
allow
the Board to make a sound consistent decision about
the
offender s parole
application. The granting
or
denial
ofparole is
based on the
Actuarial Risk
Assessment Scale,
how solid
the
parole plan is,
the
offender s
success
in
programs
with the correctional
facility
as
well
asmitigating and aggravating
factors. The
parole guidelines arebutone element of
what
the
Board
considers in their final
decision.
WHAT IS
THE PAROLE
APPLICATION
HEARING?
Offenders
are scheduled for
interviews within
ninety days
of
their Parole
Eligibility
Date.
In

discussion
with
the offender, board members ask pertinent
questions aimed at discerning
theoffender's likelihood of succeeding onparole. The interview includes discussion ofthe
8/11/2019 2001-02 Parole Board Annual Report.reduced
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2001-02-parole-board-annual-reportreduced 14/34
WHA T A RE THE
CONDITIONS OF PAROLE?
Conditions
of
parole may include any number
of
restrictions on the freedom
of
the parolee. The
level of restrictions is based upon the offenders past history and the type of crime committed.
WHAT IF THESE COND IT IONS
ARE
V IOLATED?
Parolees that violate the conditions
of
their parole must face a revocation hearing. If the Board
finds the parolee guilty of the violation, the board then decides
if
the parolee should be returned
to a correctional facility, the conditions ofparole should be modified or if the parolee should be
allowed to remain on parole, under the parole conditionspreviously stipulated.
Theparoleemay alsowaive his/her right to a revocation hearing andbe returnedto the
correctional facility without a hearing.
WHAT
IS
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PAROLE AND PROBATION?
Probation
is a judge's
order
suspending
all
or
part
ofa
prison sentence
and
in
its place allowing
a
term of supervision within the community, this is done INLIEUOF INCARCERATION. The
offender is supervised bya probation officer under the management of
the
Judicial Department,
only a judge can revoke probation.

release
ofan
offender prior
tothe
expiration
ofthe
incarceration portion
of a
sentence. Theoffender is supervised bya parole officer under the
management
of theDivision of

8/11/2019 2001-02 Parole Board Annual Report.reduced
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2001-02-parole-board-annual-reportreduced 29/34
The Colorado Department ofCorrections has established this report for the purpose
of
trackingColorado State Board of Parole hearings anddecisions. The Department tracks Parole
Board activity to the extent the offenders' time and release functions are affected. The Parole
Board tracks hearings and decisions to monitor workload activities and effects on Parole Board
staff. These differing purposes create a discrepancy between the numbers and types of parole
hearings/decisions that are reported by the Colorado Department
of
Corrections (DCIS) and the
Colorado State Board
of
Parole. Many
of
the differences are noted in the following paragraphs.
Revocat ions
TheDepartment of Corrections typically counts the final outcome of a hearing; whereas,
the ParoleBoard counts the initial decision. Thedepartment's revocationdecision reflects
the offenders' statusandmovementsas closelyas possible.
Parolees revoked to jail or revoked to communitywhere the revocation was amended to
revoke
to theDepartment of
Corrections
will be reported as
revocation
tojail or
community if the offender actually moved to these programs. Offenders revoked to
prison
who
were
never
placed
injail or
community corrections
will reflect the final
decision of revocationto prison.
Ifa
parolee,
during a
revocation
hearing, decides
to self-revoke,
the Department of
Corrections
will
enter
the hearing asa self-revocation decision; whereas, the Parole
Board
still
considers
it a
revocation
decision.
The Department
of
Corrections uses the date
of
the original hearing unless the effective
date is
retroactive
as
determined
bythe Parole Board.
DCIS
would
then
use the
effective
date;
whereas,
the
Parole Board
would
track
the
original hearing date. This
variation
results in
some
revocations being counted in different fiscal years.
Overturned or modified revocation decisions in which
the
parolee is continued on parole,
are reported as the final outcome ofcontinued. DCIS
will
contain
the final continued on

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2001-02-parole-board-annual-reportreduced 30/34
Miscel laneous
Re ins ta temen ts
The
Colorado
State Board
of Parole shows reinstatements as continued; whereas, the
Department
of
Corrections shows reinstatements in a separate category. Reinstatements
reflect cases where the granted releasedecisionwas suspendedand then the original
granted action is reactivated
Hearing Continued, Continued and Dismissed Actions
When a complaint is issued, a hearing date is setbythe Parole Board. If theparolee has
new charges, the Parole Boardmaycontinue the hearing multiple times until resolution is
made on the new charges. Hearings continued by the Board are tracked for workload
purposes but the Department may not report all actions as there is no effect on the
offender's time calculations at this point. In cases where the
hearing
occurs
and
the
complaint charges are dismissed, the
Board reports
a dismissed actionwhile
DCIS
will
reflect the outcome of continued [onparole]. TheBoard alsocountsthe cases
where
complaints were withdrawnandno hearing was
held.
DCISwill not reflect these actions
aswithdrawncomplaints cannot be in the offender files and theoffender does not have a
hearing before the Board.
Warran ts
Issued
The Colorado Department of
Corrections counts
all warrants
issued for
parolees
throughout the
year;
whereas,
the
Parole
Board reports
only
those
warrants issued
when a
parolee does not appear at a revocation hearing.
