Boulder County Parole Hearing Limits
The Colorado State Board of Parole calendar is a hearing and schedule channel for state-prison cases. It is not a Boulder County jail release list, and it is not proof that a person left prison. A Boulder County defendant may appear in this state process after conviction and sentence to the Colorado Department of Corrections. A person who posted bond, served a short county jail sentence, or left the Boulder County Jail by court order will usually be tracked through the Sheriff's release report, jail records, and the 20th Judicial District court file instead.
The researched CDOC page displayed monthly calendars and instructed users to hover over a date for that day's schedule or open the calendar title for a larger view. That makes the calendar useful for release-date context, especially when a projected release depends on board action. Still, release depends on more than a date on the calendar. A grant can be rescinded before physical release, a hearing can be deferred, and a person can remain under CDOC supervision after leaving prison.
Important: Treat the parole calendar as a schedule. Confirm actual release through CDOC status, VINE, or the supervising parole office.
Check Colorado Parole Hearings
Start with the state calendar only when the person was sentenced to CDOC or has a state parole issue. For a Boulder County jail release, the better starting point is the local Boulder County released inmates workflow. If the person has a DOC number, use it in CDOC first because names can repeat.
- Open the CDOC parole-board calendar and review the visible monthly calendars.
- Use the calendar date or title controls to find the hearing schedule, then compare the name and DOC details carefully.
- Search the CDOC Offender Search for current custody, parole, or discharge status.
- Use Colorado VINELink for custody-change notice if the record is active in VINE.
- For Boulder County case orders, check the 20th Judicial District court record.
A hearing listing can explain why a projected date moved. It does not replace the agency record that shows the person actually left custody. If the CDOC record shows parole, the person has been released from prison to supervision. If it shows discharge, the sentence or governing term has ended under the record shown.
Parole Outcomes and Release
Colorado parole terms can be confusing because a hearing result and a release event are different. The board may grant parole, defer release, deny or continue a matter, revoke parole after a violation, rescind a grant before release, or reach a mandatory-release point where the board has no discretion. Colorado parole rules also define release as the physical departure from the facility on the effective date of parole. That is the key point for Boulder County release research.
| Calendar or record item | What it means for release research |
|---|---|
| Hearing date | A scheduled board event, not release by itself. |
| Parole eligibility date | The first date a person may be considered under statute and CDOC calculation. |
| Grant or defer action | A board decision that still must be checked against CDOC status. |
| Parole status | Release from prison to CDOC supervision. |
| Sentence discharge | Completion of the sentence or supervision term shown by the state record. |
For Boulder County users, the clean split is local custody versus state custody. The Boulder County Jail release report can show current-day jail releases and next-24-hour scheduled releases. The parole-board calendar deals with state-prison release decisions and parole supervision. A person may pass through both systems, but each system keeps a different record.
Colorado Parole Date Context
Eligibility dates come from sentence length, time served, offense type, earned time, misconduct, and statute. Research for this project identified C.R.S. section 17-22.5-403 as the general parole-eligibility rule for many felony sentences, C.R.S. section 17-22.5-405 for earned time, and C.R.S. section 17-22.5-303.3 plus later truth-in-sentencing changes for certain violent offenses. Those rules are date-sensitive and fact-specific. Do not apply one percentage to every state-prison inmate.
When a Boulder County case has a state sentence, the court judgment and CDOC calculation must be read together. Court records show sentence terms, probation orders, revocations, and later case actions. CDOC shows the state custody and supervision record. The parole calendar adds schedule context for board events.
- Parole
- Release from prison to state supervision before full sentence discharge.
- Mandatory release date
- A parole release point defined by Colorado rules where the board lacks discretion.
- Discharge
- The end of the sentence or supervision term reflected in the state record.
- Rescission
- A board action that can revisit a grant before the person physically leaves custody.
Parole Calendar Contacts
The parole calendar is statewide. Boulder County Probation and the Boulder County Combined Court can help with local court-supervision and court-record questions, but they do not run the parole-board calendar. For release confirmation, match the question to the right agency.

Note: A Boulder County probation order is a court-supervision record. It should not be treated as parole, and it does not prove a current prison release.
ICE Detainers and Parole Records
Research Section 19 angle K adds a local distinction for facility pages: immigration custody and courthouse or county release issues are legally separate. The Boulder County District Attorney's immigrant-rights page cites Colorado law barring ICE civil-detainer arrests inside courthouses and immediate surrounding areas. That point does not change a parole-board calendar result, but it helps explain why a person may leave one custody system and still need a different locator.
If a person leaves state or local custody and moves to immigration detention, the parole calendar will not be the best confirmation route. Use the ICE detainee locator page and ICE facility records for current immigration custody. Use CDOC for state parole or discharge. Use the Boulder County court record for the local case history.
