Moffat County Release Date Lookup

Projected vs Actual Release Date

A projected release date is a planning or calculation date. An actual release date is the recorded event when the person leaves a custody system. For a Moffat County pretrial detainee, there may be no fixed release date because release depends on bond, a court order, dismissal, transfer, or another legal condition. For a sentenced county-jail inmate, timing can depend on sentence length, time served, court orders, holds, and jail records. For a CDOC inmate, the public record may show parole, release, or discharge dates as applicable.

Find a Moffat Release Date

Use the custody track first. CDOC is the statewide source for people who are or were in Colorado prison custody. The Moffat County Detention Facility and sheriff records path are the local sources for county jail releases. The court docket explains the legal authority for release, such as bond, sentence, dismissal, warrant clearance, or transfer.

1. Confirm whether the person was held at the Moffat County Detention Facility, sentenced to CDOC, transferred to another agency, or handled in federal or immigration custody.
2. For immediate county-jail status, call the Moffat County Detention Facility at 970-824-4498.
3. For county-jail documentation, request the booking and release record through records@sheriff.moffat.co.us or the sheriff Records Release Form.
4. For a state-prison case, open the CDOC Offender Search and search by DOCNO when available, or by name and gender.
5. Read CDOC dates by label. Parole eligibility, parole date, release date, and discharge date are not interchangeable.
6. Check the Moffat County court docket or register of actions to confirm the sentence, bond order, mittimus, warrant, or case disposition behind the date.

Earned Time and Release Calculations

Colorado prison release timing should not be reduced to a single public formula. The Colorado Secretary of State rule text for 8 CCR 1511-1 defines Parole Eligibility Date as the earliest possible parole release date established by sentence length, time served, good time credits earned or lost, and statute, as calculated by CDOC time/release operations. That means eligibility is not the same as actual release.

C.R.S. 17-22.5-405 governs earned time. The research source says earned time may be deducted from a sentence when consistent progress is shown in listed categories and certified by the case manager or community parole officer. The statute includes different caps depending on sentence class and statutory category. Because presentence confinement credit, earned time, parole eligibility, board action, revocation, detainers, and new cases can all affect timing, the public should not try to compute a final CDOC release date from sentence length alone.

Colorado also has offense-specific parole eligibility rules. Legislative Council material summarized in the research described an 85 percent threshold for covered violent-crime rules tied to Proposition 128 materials, while other offenses follow different statutes and sentence-calculation rules. Use the court judgment, mittimus, CDOC status, and current Colorado law for a specific person.

Why Release Dates Change

Release dates move because a custody record is affected by both legal events and administrative calculations. The same person may leave the county jail, enter CDOC, appear on a parole-board list, return on a violation, or move to another agency. Each step can change the next date to check.

Confirming a Release Date

For a pending Moffat County jail release, call the jail and use court or bond paperwork to confirm the authority for release. For documentation after the event, request the booking and release record from the sheriff records custodian. The sheriff's Records Release Form page says records and media can be requested electronically, in person at the Public Safety Center, or by mail to Moffat County Sheriff's Office, ATTN: Records, 800 W. 1st St., Suite 100, Craig, CO 81625.

For a CDOC release, search CDOC and read the date labels carefully. For an alert before a release or transfer, use VINE Inmate Check. Colorado VINE can notify registered users of custody status updates such as release or transfer, but the durable record should still be confirmed through the jail, CDOC, or court record that controls the custody event.

Moffat Bond Release Timing

Moffat's Inmate Services page gives a concrete local rule for money-bond release timing. The posted notice says the sheriff must release within six hours after the listed personal-recognizance or cash-bond conditions are met unless extraordinary circumstances exist. It also allows up to 24 hours when required electronic monitoring must be fitted.

For a person bonding out of the Moffat County Detention Facility, the release-date lookup is therefore not a public online calculator. The sheriff's Remote Bond Payment page says the process begins by calling 970-824-4495, available 24/7 for bond-payment inquiries only, so a detention deputy can verify the bond amount and give online payment directions. After release, use bond paperwork, the court docket, and sheriff records for the actual time and reason.

Parole Hearing Date Limits

The Colorado State Board of Parole route found in the research is linked from CDOC Offender Search as "Par. Board" and is described by the Colorado Virtual Library as a database of offenders scheduled for parole hearing. Users can search by individual or select a month or county to receive a list. A parole hearing date is useful, but it is not the same as release from custody.

Possible parole-board outcomes include release to parole, deferral, table pending parole-plan investigation or additional information, deferral to mandatory release date, rescission before release, revocation after release, or discharge from sentence. The page should therefore treat a hearing date as one part of the release-date lookup, not the final answer.
