• To be informed when a person accused or convicted of the crime is released from custody, is paroled, escapes or absconds from probation or parole.
• To be informed of and heard at any reconsideration of sentence, parole hearing, or commutation of sentence;
• To be informed when a person convicted of a crime against the victim is placed in or transferred to a less secure correctional facility or program or is permanently or conditionally transferred or released from any state hospital;
• To be informed of any rights which the victim has pursuant to the constitution of the United States or the State of Colorado.

In an effort to keep you well informed of an offender's status, please take a moment to consider the following:

When you register on-line for post sentencing notifications, you will be enrolled into the auto-mated notification system. Once registered, you will receive a confirmation of such via text or email.

Offenders may be awarded Earned Time each month, typically 10-12 days every month. This can bring the Time Served Date(s) much sooner than you would expect. Earned Time cannot exceed 30% of the offender's sentence.

Our Victim Services Unit is here to support you through the many challenges that people often experience when they have fallen victim to a crime of violence.
