CUCF San Juan Release Role
Central Utah Correctional Facility is operated by the Utah Department of Corrections in Gunnison. It is part of the statewide prison system, not a San Juan County facility. A person can have a San Juan County conviction or residence and serve time at CUCF. That link does not make the Sheriff's Office the custodian of the prison release record. UDC and the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole control the state release path.
CUCF should also remain separate from the contract population at San Juan County Jail. Both groups are UDC prisoners, but the physical route differs. A prisoner confined at CUCF starts from a state prison. A contract prisoner may first travel from Monticello to USCF while still in custody. For either person, parole status, Board authority, and final discharge are found in statewide sources.
| Question | Best source | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person still in a UDC prison? | UDC offender detail and Housing Facility | Current UDC population only |
| Did the Board grant parole? | Latest Board decision | A granted or tentative date may still change |
| Is the person on supervision? | UDC Location and case manager fields | Parole is not final discharge |
| Did all UDC supervision end? | UDC termination or expiration record | A blank search is not enough |
Confirm CUCF Release Status
The UDC offender search is the first public check. Enter at least one letter of the first and last name, with a middle name if useful, or use the exact offender number. Results show offender number, name, and date of birth. Open the detail to see Location, Housing Facility, Release Date/Type, Case Manager, and Case Manager Email.
- Match the person with the UDC number and date of birth when those details are known.
- Read Housing Facility to determine whether CUCF or another state location is listed.
- Interpret PAROLE as community supervision after prison and PROBATION as court-ordered community supervision.
- Copy Release Date/Type exactly. Do not assume that N/A means release did not occur.
- Use the Board decision and UDC record to explain the status and date.
The official UDC search and its limitation notice appear in this capture.
The captured form is a route to current data. It is not a CUCF release ledger or a complete list of people discharged in past years.
Note: County pretrial detainees who never entered UDC custody do not belong in the CUCF offender-search path.
Read CUCF Release Results
Location and Housing Facility answer different questions. A named housing facility supports current confinement. Location marked PAROLE is strong evidence that the person left prison and remains under state supervision. PROBATION identifies court-ordered supervision, which may follow a jail term or arise without prison. Release Date/Type is the UDC interface label, but it may show N/A.
Fully discharged people may vanish because the UDC search only covers current custody and supervision. A blank result can also reflect a spelling error, identifier mismatch, or a person who was never under UDC. Search the Board hearing and decision system, use UDC's public-information route, and examine the court judgment before describing a past CUCF release.
- Parole
- Conditional community release from prison, with supervision that may continue to maximum expiration.
- Expiration
- End point shown in the governing UDC or Board record.
- Discharge
- Completion or termination of custody and supervision under the controlling record.
- Transfer
- Departure from CUCF while custody continues at another site or agency.
CUCF Board Release Decisions
Utah's indeterminate sentence system makes the Board record central. A court may impose a range rather than one fixed release day. The Board's public tool searches by person, offender number, or date range and returns upcoming hearings and prior decisions. The actual decision can order parole, set a rehearing, or document another outcome. A hearing entry alone does not show what the Board decided.
The Board considers the sentence structure, guideline date, presentence report, offense, risk and needs, institutional history, supervision history, Case Action Plan, treatment, victim information, and release plan. Guidelines do not guarantee release. A rescission process can revisit a previously granted date before release. Pending matters, discipline, treatment status, and Board action can also change a future date.
Use Utah's exact terms. UDC shows Release Date/Type. Its public-information page uses Parole/Expiration Date. The Board may use tentative date. A tentative date is not physical gate confirmation, and none of these labels should be rewritten as a fixed promise.
CUCF State Release Processing
The UDC release-day page identifies USCF as the main Tuesday processing site, especially for prisoners brought from county contract jails. The research does not state that every CUCF prisoner follows that same transport route. Confirm the release location and instructions with UDC for the named person. Do not send a family to San Juan County Jail for a CUCF release.
This UDC capture gives the official statewide release-day context.
The image supports the state process and USCF's key role, while the named prisoner's UDC instructions remain the source for a CUCF departure.
Where the person goes depends on the order. Parole generally leads to community supervision through AP&P. UDC transports people paroling to a community correctional center. A transfer can lead to another prison or custodian without a community release. Sentence expiration may end prison custody, but any separate warrant, detainer, or case must still be resolved.
Request CUCF Release Records
Use the UDC public-information and GRAMA route for state records. UDC identifies legal status, housing, offenses and sentence, Board hearing or rehearing date, parole or expiration date, and a prison photo or mug shot as public fields it may compile. Written GRAMA applies to actual records and prior compilations. Ask for an existing CUCF release, parole, transfer, termination, or expiration entry and related Board reference.
Central Utah Correctional Facility is verified in Gunnison, Utah. The assigned research does not supply a street address, facility telephone number, or public records-counter hours. Do not fill that gap with an unofficial directory. Use the current UDC contact page and identify CUCF, the offender's full name, and offender number. For Board documents, contact the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole at 448 East Winchester Street, Suite 300, Murray, Utah 84107, or 801-261-6464.

The criminal court file can supply the judgment or later order but does not prove the moment physical processing ended. Pair it with the UDC transaction. If a record was withheld, request segregable public portions and the legal basis for the classification.
San Juan CUCF Record Trail
A San Juan County connection can appear in the sentencing court, a release plan, or the AP&P office responsible for supervision. It does not change CUCF into a county jail. For a person returning to San Juan County on parole, UDC Region 6 is the field-supervision office, while the Board order remains the legal release authority.
The strongest proof packet includes the UDC detail captured near release, the latest Board decision, and the actual state release transaction. Add the court judgment to explain the sentence. For final discharge, add the termination or expiration record. This sequence keeps prison departure, parole, probation, and completion distinct.
When records conflict, let each source answer its own question. The court explains authority. The Board explains parole. UDC explains custody and supervision. A later blank live search cannot erase an earlier captured release or parole result, so save source, date, exact wording, and identifiers used for each check.
