  If the department receives custody of a defendant who is sentenced to serve two or more terms of incarceration in the custody of the department, and any mittimus concerning the defendant's sentence or sentences does not clearly indicate whether the defendant's sentences are to be served consecutively or concurrently, then the department shall seek clarification in writing from the court regarding the defendant's sentence or sentences. The department shall seek such clarification not more than two business days after the department's receipt of the mittimus.    A court that receives a written request from the department pursuant to subsection (1) of this section shall respond to the department and clarify the mittimus in question in order to accurately reflect the sentence previously entered in open court. The court shall provide such clarification in writing not more than two business days after receiving the request. The court shall provide a copy of the court's response to the counsel of record for the prosecution and the defense.    Until the department obtains clarification of the mittimus from the court, the department shall not make any determination of the defendant's parole eligibility date or mandatory release date.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 17 - Corrections|Article 22.5 - Inmate and Parole Time Computation|Part 4 - Parole Eligibility and Discharge From Custody|§ 17-22.5-401. Legislative Declaration

 The general assembly hereby declares that if any inmate does not demonstrate positive behavior during incarceration, such inmate should be required to serve out the full sentence imposed upon such inmate. If any inmate does demonstrate positive behavior during incarceration, such inmate should be considered for release from incarceration prior to the end of the full sentence imposed upon him. Therefore, the general assembly, in enacting this part 4, intends to provide standards whereby any inmate can earn a reduction of incarceration time and to provide incentives for inmates to demonstrate positive behavior during incarceration.

  No inmate shall be discharged from the department until he has remained the full term for which he was sentenced, to be computed on and after the date upon which the sentence becomes effective and excluding any time the inmate may have been at large by reason of escape therefrom, unless he is pardoned or otherwise released by legal authority.    Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the full term for which an inmate is sentenced shall be reduced by any earned release time and earned time granted pursuant to section 17-22.5-405, except as provided in section 17-22.5-403 (3) and (3.5).    This part 4 shall not apply to any offender to whom section 17-22.5-104 (2)(a), (2)(b), (2)(c), (2)(d)(I), (2)(d)(II), or (2)(d)(III) applies.    A person discharged from a correctional facility without supervision is eligible to receive reentry support services from the department or community-based organizations that receive funding from the department to provide reentry services for up to one year after the person's date of discharge.

ANNOTATION   An inmate is not entitled to unconditional release under this section when the inmate has a sufficient amount of good time and earned time credits, when combined with time served, to satisfy the inmate's sentence. The statutory scheme regarding eligibility for parole and discharge reflect the general assembly's intent that good time and earned time credits apply for the purpose of determining an inmate's eligibility for parole.

  There shall be a presumption, subject to the final discretion of the parole board, in favor of granting parole to an inmate who has reached his or her parole eligibility date and who:   Is serving a sentence for which the controlling term of incarceration is based on a felony possession or use offense described in section 18-18-404, or section 18-18-405, C.R.S., as it existed prior to August 11, 2010;    Has not incurred a class I code of penal discipline violation within the last twelve months or a class II code of penal discipline violation within the last three months;    Is program-compliant;    Was not convicted of, and has not previously been convicted of, a felony crime described in section 18-3-303, 18-3-305, 18-3-306, or 18-6-701; sections 18-7-402 to 18-7-407; or section 18-12-102 or 18-12-109, C.R.S.; or a felony crime listed in section 24-4.1-302 (1), C.R.S.; and    Does not have an active felony or immigration detainer.       Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, an inmate who is eligible for the presumption in subsection (1) of this section shall have a parole release hearing within ninety days after becoming eligible for the presumption in subsection (1) of this section.    If the parole board grants parole to an inmate pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, the parole board shall require as a condition of parole that the parolee participate in substance abuse treatment consistent with the assessed treatment need of the parolee.    Repealed.    Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the discretion of the parole board in considering the statutory release guidelines in section 17-22.5-404 or the administrative release guidelines developed pursuant to section 17-22.5-107 (1) in making a decision regarding an inmate's application for release to parole.

  There shall be a presumption, subject to the final discretion of the parole board, in favor of granting parole to an inmate who has reached his or her parole eligibility date and who:   Has been assessed by the Colorado risk assessment scale developed pursuant to section 17-22.5-404 (2)(a), to be medium risk or below of reoffense;    Is not serving a sentence for a felony crime described in section 18-3-303, 18-3-306, or 18-6-701, C.R.S.; sections 18-7-402 to 18-7-407, C.R.S.; or section 18-12-102 or 18-12-109, C.R.S.; section 18-17-104, C.R.S., or section 18-18-407, C.R.S.; or a felony crime listed in section 24-4.1-302 (1), C.R.S.; and    Has an active detainer lodged by the United States immigration and customs enforcement agency.       In determining whether to grant parole pursuant to provisions of subsection (1) of this section, the board shall consider the cost of incarceration to the state of Colorado in relation to the needs of further confinement of the inmate to achieve the purpose of the inmate's sentence.      The state board of parole may release an eligible inmate, pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, only to the custody of the United States immigration and customs enforcement agency or other law enforcement agency with authority to execute the detainer on behalf of the United States immigration and customs enforcement agency.    If the United States immigration and customs enforcement agency withdraws the detainer or declines to take the inmate into custody, the state board of parole shall hold a recission hearing to reconsider the granting of parole to the inmate.    If the United States immigration and customs enforcement agency issues an order of deportation for the inmate, the department of corrections shall submit a request to the state board of parole to discharge parole.    A denial of parole by the state board of parole pursuant to this section shall not affect an inmate's eligibility for another form of parole or release applicable under law.       The board may consider the application for parole pursuant to the proceedings set forth in section 17-2-201 (4)(f) or 17-2-201 (9)(a).    For inmates who were parole eligible before May 23, 2011, the department shall notify the state board of parole of any of those inmates who meet the criteria listed in subsection (1) of this section, and the board shall either set a release hearing or conduct a release review within ninety days after May 23, 2011.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 17 - Corrections|Article 22.5 - Inmate and Parole Time Computation|Part 4 - Parole Eligibility and Discharge From Custody|§ 17-22.5-406. Applicability of Part

     This part 4 applies to all offenders sentenced for crimes committed on or after July 1, 1979.    Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection (1), the amount of earned time which may be credited pursuant to this part 4 to any inmate incarcerated on or before July 1, 1990, shall not exceed the amount of earned time actually earned by such inmate pursuant to earned time provisions in effect prior to July 1, 1990.    If the application of the provisions of this subsection (1) would result in the early discharge of any offender, the department shall refer such offender to the state board of parole which may, in its discretion, grant or deny parole using the guidelines established pursuant to section 17-22.5-404, discharge the offender or place such offender under conditional parole supervision. If the offender is placed on parole pursuant to this paragraph (c), the state board of parole may revoke the parole granted to such inmate for a period not to exceed the amount of earned time granted to the offender pursuant to this part 4.    Nothing in this subsection (1) shall be construed as a mandate to the state board of parole to release any inmate.    If any inmate incarcerated prior to June 7, 1990, has not accrued any earned time prior to such date, the provisions of law in effect at the time of such inmate's sentencing shall apply to such inmate in determining such inmate's discharge date.       Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, no offender incarcerated on June 7, 1990, shall be released pursuant to the provisions of subsection (1) of this section unless the department of corrections makes a written certification that the offender has met the conditions of paragraph   of this subsection (2) and at least two additional of the following criteria:    The offender has engaged in a satisfactory participation in available educational programs during his incarceration.    The offender has engaged in a satisfactory participation in any treatment programs indicated in his diagnostic evaluation.    The offender has had no serious infractions of the penal code of discipline for at least two years.    The offender has had an exemplary work record while being incarcerated under the custody of the department of corrections.       This part 4 shall not apply to any offender who is presently incarcerated who does not meet the appropriate criteria stated in subsection (2) of this section. Any such offender's sentence shall be governed by provisions in existence prior to June 7, 1990.    Repealed.     (a) The offender has not used controlled substances, except pursuant to the prescription of a physician, for at least one year prior to such certification.   History.

 The sheriff of each county shall feed all the prisoners kept in confinement by him with good and sufficient food. The board of county commissioners of such county, at the expense of the county, shall furnish to such sheriff all the groceries, supplies, utensils, equipment, and assistants he requires to perform his duty of properly feeding such prisoners and shall also pay all the costs and expenses incurred therein.

ANNOTATION   Annotator's note. Since § 17-26-104 is identical to repealed § 27-26-104 , a relevant case construing that provision has been included in the annotations to this section.   Violation of this section by failing to provide prisoners in isolation with food, while at the same time complying with this section by feeding other prisoners, is not a denial of equal protection of the law. Denial of equal protection of the laws involves more than discrimination or unequal treatment. Ruark v. Schooley, 211 F. Supp. 921 (D. Colo. 1962 ).   The fact that officials, while acting under color of state law, may violate this section, is not a basis for an action under federal civil rights act, unless the violations result in a deprivation of some right which the plaintiffs have under the federal constitution and laws.
