San Juan County Release Date Terms
Utah records use several date terms, and they are not interchangeable. The UDC offender detail uses the exact field Release Date/Type. UDC's public-information page lists Parole/Expiration Date as a releasable field. The Utah Board may use tentative date for scheduling or release determinations. None should be relabeled to suggest a certainty the source does not provide.
A scheduled or tentative date is a current expectation. An actual release date records the completed physical event. Parole begins community supervision and is not the same as sentence expiration. A county jail release can also be a transfer, which ends custody at that building while another authority takes over.
A scheduled date can change. The facility's final transaction supplies the actual release date.
Find San Juan County Release Dates
Begin by deciding whether the person is pretrial, serving a county sentence, a UDC prisoner, or held through a federal or immigration authority. One broad search cannot answer all four. A pretrial person has a court process, not a sentence-based projected date. A county term is calculated by the jail from the sentencing record. UDC dates depend on the sentence, Board action, and corrections records.
- Identify the holding authority and obtain the booking or offender number.
- For county custody, read the court order and ask San Juan County Jail for its current calculation.
- For state custody, search UDC and record the exact Release Date/Type, Location, and Housing Facility fields.
- Open the latest Utah Board decision and check whether the date is tentative, granted, rescinded, or tied to another review.
- Recheck close to the date and request the facility's actual release transaction afterward.
A UDC contract prisoner housed at San Juan County Jail remains a state prisoner. The local gate is usually not the final release point. Conversely, ordinary county sentence calculations should not borrow state earned-time rules. The San Juan County released inmate record path explains how the final event is documented.
San Juan County UDC Date Search
The UDC offender search covers people currently under state custody or supervision. Search with at least one letter of the first and last name, an optional middle name, or the offender number. A result row gives the offender number, name, and date of birth. The detail may show Location, Housing Facility, Release Date/Type, Case Manager, and Case Manager Email.
| UDC field | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Location | PAROLE or PROBATION indicates community supervision; a prison location indicates custody |
| Housing Facility | Identifies the current UDC placement when supplied |
| Release Date/Type | Use the exact displayed value; it may be N/A |
| Case Manager | A current UDC contact field, not the source of a universal date |
| Parole/Expiration Date | A separate public-information field available through UDC's records route |
A fully discharged person may not appear because the tool is current-supervision only. No result is not an official release date. Move to the Board decision, UDC public-information request, and court judgment. The current search interface also does not show a photograph.

The screenshot supports the state search route, but only the live record can establish the value currently assigned to a person.
San Juan County Board Date Decisions
Utah is an indeterminate-sentencing state. A court may impose a range such as zero to five years, but the maximum does not predict the gate date. The Board considers sentence structure, guideline information, the presentence report, offense, treatment, institutional conduct, risk, supervision history, victim information, and the release plan. A guideline creates no entitlement.
The Board search accepts a person's name, offender number, or date range. Open the actual order. A hearing entry alone does not show an outcome. The Board generally issues decisions within six weeks, though some take longer. A later rescission hearing may withdraw an earlier date before release, and a redetermination or paper review can change the timeline.
The Board's date and decision guidance shows why tentative timing must be rechecked.
The Board record supplies the decision context that a bare calendar date cannot provide.
San Juan County Earned Time
Utah does not have one general rule requiring every state prisoner to serve 85 percent. It uses indeterminate terms, individual Board decisions, offense-specific restrictions, and discrete earned-time credits. A calculator that multiplies a maximum sentence by 0.85 would be unsupported for a San Juan County case.
UDC's Earned Time Program, citing Utah parole authority and its program rules, provides a four-month mandatory cut for each of up to two approved Case Action Plan programs, for a maximum of eight months. Only the first of two vocational programs produces a mandatory cut. Later vocational or exceptional achievements can be submitted for discretionary Board review. A person serving life without parole or a life sentence ordered to expire is ineligible.
San Juan's approved male CBI-SO program is listed at 180 to 192 dosage hours and has an October 1, 2015 effective date. That local fact does not mean every participant receives credit or parole. Eligibility, completion, discipline, pending charges, transition needs, and the Board order remain individual.
The official UDC earned-time program page identifies the discrete credits and San Juan program.
This program record supports a possible credit path, not a promise of a specific release date.
Changes to San Juan Release Dates
A future date can move for several documented reasons. The record should identify which factor actually applied rather than selecting a generic explanation.
| Factor | Possible effect | Record to check |
|---|---|---|
| Missing report or pending charge | Review or decision may be delayed | Board file and court docket |
| Discipline or new conviction | Credit can be lost or a date reconsidered | UDC and Board records |
| CAP completion | An approved earned-time cut may be applied | UDC earned-time record and Board order |
| Rescission | A granted date can be withdrawn before release | Latest Board decision |
| Detainer or hold | Release from one authority may become transfer | Facility transaction and receiving agency |
| Sentence structure | Concurrent or consecutive terms affect timing | Judgment and Board computation |
Utah Code §77-27-9 contains minimum-term and offense/date-specific limits. Those provisions should be matched to the actual case, not reduced to one statewide first-eligibility formula.
San Juan County Jail Sentences
No official San Juan County formula for local jail good time or weekend adjustment was found. Do not apply the UDC earned-time program to an ordinary county sentence. Ask the jail for its calculation and obtain the sentencing order, including any custody credit. The Sheriff can be reached at 435-587-2237, and a written request can be sent to PO Box 788, Monticello, Utah 84535.
A pretrial detainee has no sentence-based date. Bail review, an unsecured bond, dismissal, or another court order may authorize release, but the jail must complete processing and clear other holds. San Juan County says booking and release times vary. A court order and physical departure can therefore carry different timestamps.

San Juan County Tuesday Processing
San Juan County Jail houses some UDC contract prisoners. UDC says almost all contract-jail prisoners are transported to the Utah State Correctional Facility release building. Tuesday processing is arranged for a 10 a.m. arrival and can take one to four hours. Direct release from a contract county jail is extremely rare, and family is notified when that exceptional route applies.
Leaving Monticello in transport is not release to the community. The actual state release happens later in the UDC process. A person paroling to a community correctional center is transported by UDC. A person without a ride may be taken case by case to nearby UTA TRAX and is released last. These state logistics do not govern local bond-outs from the Sheriff-operated jail.
The UDC release-day instructions show the contract-jail sequence.
The process explains why departure from San Juan County Jail and actual state release can occur at different places and times.
Confirm San Juan Actual Release
Close to a projected date, repeat the UDC and Board checks. Afterward, obtain the actual release or parole transaction from UDC. For a local jail sentence, request the Sheriff's release entry with the actual time, type, and receiving authority. If the event became a transfer, continue with that system rather than calling the first departure a community release.
VINE can send an agency-reported release, transfer, or escape alert, but it is not a certified date record and may lag. The San Juan County VINELink inmate search covers registration and reporting-agency checks. Preserve a source URL, access date, identifier, exact wording, and unresolved uncertainty for every result.
