Search Limon Correctional Facility Releases

Limon Correctional Facility Releases

Limon Correctional Facility is a Colorado Department of Corrections state prison, not a Lincoln County county jail. That single distinction changes the whole release search. A person who bonds out of Lincoln County Jail is confirmed through sheriff, court, and VINE channels. A person who paroles or discharges from Limon is confirmed through CDOC offender search, CDOC records, CDOC Time and Release Operations, the Colorado State Board of Parole calendar, CWISE or Adult Parole when supervision begins, and CDOC victim notification when the person is eligible for that notice path.

The CDOC Limon Correctional Facility profile places the facility on Highway 71 south of Limon. For released-inmate research, the profile is useful because it confirms the prison's operator, location, custody level, switchboard, and visiting office. The actual release record, however, is not held in the county jail roster. CDOC is the agency that tracks state-prison custody, parole eligibility, mandatory release date, discharge, transfers, and departmental records.

Confirm Limon Facility Release

Use a state-prison route for a Limon Correctional Facility release. CDOC offender search is the public starting point for people who are or were in CDOC custody. CDOC search tips say the DOC number is numeric, up to six characters, and is the primary identifier. The landing page accepts DOCNO, last name, first name, and gender. Name searches can be broad because CDOC explains that first and last name fields return names beginning with the letters typed, and the recorded name may be the arresting or prosecuted name.

1. Open the CDOC offender search.
2. Search by DOCNO first if available, since CDOC treats it as the strongest identifier.
3. If no DOC number is known, search by last name and first name, then compare DOB, age, middle name, and record details.
4. Open the matching offender detail record and review status, facility, release or discharge wording, parole status, and time-computation fields.
5. Use the CDOC parole board calendar if parole hearing timing matters.
6. Call CWISE at 800-426-9143 when the person is on parole or Adult Parole routing is needed.
7. Use CDOC records at doc_open_records@state.co.us when a written departmental release or discharge record is needed.

CDOC's disclaimer says website information is expected to be accurate but may contain errors, and CDOC should be contacted to confirm information. That is important with release dates. A status change can lag. A person may be paroled, discharged, transferred to community corrections, moved to another facility, escaped, apprehended, or deceased. The status shown in a public search should be matched to CDOC records, parole channels, or victim notification when the situation needs exact confirmation.

Limon Facility Contact

Limon facility contact details help identify the correct CDOC site, but release-date questions should be routed to CDOC release and records channels rather than the visiting office. CDOC lists a switchboard and visiting contact for Limon. It also gives department-wide records and sentence-computation contacts that are more useful for release confirmation.

For records requests, CDOC's general records page says inmate departmental record requests should be emailed to doc_open_records@state.co.us. CDOC asks for requester name, inmate name, DOC number if known, date of birth if known, and detailed records requested. Departmental records do not include medical information, and non-public records may require a release of information.

Limon Facility Facts

CDOC's facility page gives enough sourced detail to identify Limon Correctional Facility without turning the page into a county-jail page. CDOC says LCF is about two miles south of Limon and about 80 miles east of Denver. It is a Level IV facility with close custody, medium, minimum restricted, and minimum custody populations in general population and incentive units.

The facility sits inside a 4,000-foot double-perimeter fence. Those physical facts do not decide whether a person has been released, but they help distinguish a Limon state-prison record from a Lincoln County Jail booking. When a search result or court record shows Limon, the next step is CDOC status and time-computation review, not a county recent-release check.

Limon Release Date Terms

CDOC release-date language is built around sentence computation. The CDOC Time Comp page explains that the court issues a mittimus, and that the mittimus outlines the sentence. CDOC Time and Release Operations calculates the Parole Eligibility Date and Mandatory Release Date from the sentence, statutes, presentence confinement credit, and earned time. CDOC cannot change the sentence or mittimus; only the court can modify that document.

Colorado projected release questions should not be answered with a simple 85% shortcut. CDOC uses PED, MRD, good time, earned time, parole eligibility statutes, crime-of-violence rules, and case-specific court documents. For Limon Correctional Facility, a projected release date is a CDOC sentence-computation question. For a Lincoln County Jail bond or time-served release, it is a sheriff and court question.

Limon Parole and CWISE

A person released from Limon Correctional Facility may be released to parole, mandatory release supervision, community corrections, or full discharge. Parole is state supervision after a prison sentence, while probation is a court sentence handled by the Judicial Branch. A Limon release is usually a parole or discharge question, not a Lincoln County Probation question, unless the court record separately shows probation in a different case.

The CDOC offender search application includes a parole board calendar. Research captured calendar details showing future months, a warning that hearings are subject to change, and instructions that public attendance requires advance arrangements. For application or rescission hearings, the calendar instructs users to contact the offender's case manager. For revocation hearings, it points to the jail where the offender is located.

CWISE is the practical Adult Parole contact route after a person is released to parole. CDOC says CWISE operators are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year at 800-426-9143. Callers should have the DOC number or the person's name and date of birth ready. CWISE is not a replacement for the public offender search or a written CDOC record, but it helps route supervision questions when the public status shows parole or Adult Parole involvement.

For a fuller supervision comparison, use Probation & Parole. It separates CDOC parole from Lincoln County court probation.

Limon Records and Notification

CDOC records are the written fallback when the public offender search does not provide enough detail. CDOC's CORA and CCJRA page explains that the department maintains public records and criminal justice records, and that requests are evaluated under Colorado's public-records and criminal-justice-records laws. CDOC's general records request page says inmate departmental record requests should be emailed to doc_open_records@state.co.us.

The CDOC records route is appropriate for release or discharge confirmation, transfer history, departmental records, or a written status record. A request should include the inmate name, DOC number if known, date of birth if known, and a clear description that asks for the release or discharge record for the named person formerly housed at Limon Correctional Facility. Medical records and non-public records are handled under separate limits, so the public request should stay focused on custody and release status.

CDOC victim notification is separate from VINE and separate from a public records request. CDOC's victim notification enrollment materials list status changes that may trigger notice for eligible victims, including initial DOC placement, transfers, community corrections referrals, parole application and revocation hearings, parole hearing outcomes, escapes, apprehensions, sentence discharge, and death. Enrollment with a District Attorney's Office or VINE does not automatically enroll a person in the DOC Victim Notification Program.

Limon and Lincoln Searches

Limon Correctional Facility is the reason Lincoln County release research has two different systems. A person released from the county jail in Hugo may have a sheriff release record, VINE alert, bond record, and court disposition. A person released from Limon has a CDOC state-prison record, parole or discharge status, Time Comp terms, parole-board calendar context, and CDOC records. A person who disappears from the Lincoln County Jail roster because they were transported to CDOC was not released from county custody into the community. They moved into state custody.

This distinction also protects against a common search mistake. A county roster absence does not prove a Limon release, and a CDOC offender result does not prove a same-day Lincoln County Jail release. Start with the facility. Then choose the record system that belongs to that facility. For Limon, that means CDOC offender search first, CDOC Time and Release Operations for date computation, CWISE for parole routing, CDOC records for written confirmation, and CDOC victim notification for eligible status notices.

The CDOC State ID Program is also a state-prison release detail. CDOC says incoming offenders are reviewed with Department of Revenue staff for state ID or driver's license status, and a state ID may be stored in an ID Bank until release. CDOC may also issue a waiver for some people discharging or on parole who still need to prove identity. That is a Limon or CDOC release-logistics issue, not a county jail roster feature.
