Archived Coverage Note
An archived CDOC parole-office resource lists the La Junta office as covering Baca, Bent, Cheyenne, Crowley, Huerfano, Kiowa, Kit Carson, Las Animas, Lincoln, Otero, and Prowers counties. The same archived listing gives 617 Raton, Suite 2, La Junta, CO 81050, phone 719-383-0404. Because the source is archived, this page treats those details as historical routing information, not guaranteed current office contact.
For release confirmation, start with CDOC offender search. A person whose current facility assignment shows a parole region may already be out of prison but still under parole supervision. The parole office is not the county jail and does not replace the Prowers County Jail release record for a local booking.
How to Use This Route
- Verify the person has a CDOC record using DOCNO or name.
- Read whether the current facility assignment or status indicates parole rather than prison custody.
- Check the Prowers County court case for the mittimus or sentence tying the case to CDOC.
- Use the archived La Junta office details only as a lead, then confirm current contact through CDOC.
- For a local jail release without DOC parole, use the sheriff records office and court docket instead.
Parole Is Not Probation
Parole is post-prison supervision through CDOC. Probation is a court sentence or local judicial supervision route. A Prowers County defendant may leave jail on probation without going to prison, in which case Prowers County Probation at 301 South Main St. #110, phone 719-336-8340, is the relevant local office. A released DOC inmate on parole follows the state parole route instead.

What the Office Can and Cannot Prove
A parole office route can help identify supervision after a prison release, but it is not the same as the release record itself. The release event from prison is a CDOC record. A hearing before release belongs to the Colorado State Board of Parole calendar and decision process. A local Prowers jail booking belongs to sheriff records. A probation sentence belongs to the court and probation office. Keeping those sources separate prevents a reader from calling the parole office for a county-jail-only release or calling the jail for a state parole supervision question.
The archived La Junta listing is still useful because it places Prowers County in a southeastern Colorado parole-service context with nearby counties. It should be used as a routing clue only. Current office boundaries, appointment procedures, officer assignments, and public contact rules can change. The current CDOC contact path should be checked before relying on an address or phone number for a parole appointment.
Records Sequence for Prowers Parole
| Stage | Where to look |
|---|---|
| Prowers sentence | Prowers County Combined Court, 301 S. Main, Suite 300. |
| State custody | CDOC Offender Search using DOCNO or name. |
| Hearing schedule | CDOC OSS Par. Board calendar. |
| Local parole supervision | CDOC current routing, with archived La Junta listing as a lead. |
| County jail release | Prowers County Sheriff's Office records, 103 East Oak Street. |
If a CDOC result shows a parole region as current facility assignment, the person may already be released from prison while still under state parole supervision. If the result shows a prison facility, the person is not confirmed as released simply because a hearing exists. If the CDOC disclaimer or a date conflict creates doubt, confirm with CDOC rather than inferring the status from one public page.
Why the Archive Warning Matters
The La Junta details come from an archived parole-office source, so this page uses them differently from the sheriff, court, and probation contacts. The Prowers County Jail address, court address, and probation phone are current research facts from official local pages. The La Junta parole address and phone are a historical CDOC routing lead. That distinction should remain visible anywhere the office is discussed.
A Prowers County parole search should therefore begin with CDOC offender search and current CDOC routing. If the person appears to be on parole in southeastern Colorado, the archived La Junta listing can help explain why La Junta may be relevant. It should not be presented as the only current appointment source, and it should not be used for county-jail-only releases.
Public Status Language
Use careful language for parole status. A person may be incarcerated in a DOC facility, scheduled for a parole hearing, released from prison to parole, discharged from a sentence, or returned to custody after a parole event. Those statuses are not interchangeable. The archived La Junta office information is relevant only to the supervision stage, not to the original jail booking and not to the parole-board decision itself.
If a Prowers County court sentence sent the person to DOC, first use the DOCNO or name in CDOC offender search. If the CDOC page shows a parole-region assignment, then the local supervision route may matter. If it shows a prison facility and future estimated dates, the person is not confirmed as locally supervised. If the record is unclear, confirm with CDOC before relying on any archived office listing.
How Prowers Readers Should Use This Page
Use this page after the CDOC record suggests parole supervision, not as the first stop for every released-inmate question. For a same-day or recent Prowers County Jail release, the sheriff and court remain the correct route. For a state-prison release to parole, CDOC and current parole-office routing become the correct route. The archived La Junta listing explains likely regional context for Prowers County, but it should always be checked against current CDOC information before a visit, call, or appointment.
That qualification is not a minor note. Parole-office boundaries, phone routing, and public contact rules can change. The current official source controls, while the archived listing is useful background for why La Junta appears in a Prowers County parole research path.
Current Verification Reminder
Because the office listing is archived, verify current La Junta parole contact through CDOC before relying on the listed address or phone. Use the archived details as a regional clue for Prowers County parole coverage, not as a guaranteed current reporting instruction.
Confirm current CDOC routing before relying on archived contact details.
Because the La Junta coverage note comes from an archived parole-office resource, use it as a local orientation point and verify current contact through CDOC before relying on it for an appointment. The CDOC offender record and parole-board calendar remain the public state sources for release and hearing status.
