CUCF Release Outcomes

Central Utah Correctional Facility houses people in Utah state custody. A Wayne County prison sentence can lead to CUCF because UDC controls placement statewide. The county of conviction does not fix the prison. Someone leaving CUCF may be transferred to Utah State Correctional Facility, placed in a contract jail, moved to a community correctional center, paroled, or discharged. Those outcomes have different legal effects.

A transfer keeps UDC custody intact. Community correctional centers are residential settings for people on probation or recently paroled, so placement there is not the same as an unconditional community discharge. Parole ends prison confinement under Board conditions, while termination or expiration ends the sentence as stated. Read the exact status instead of translating every location change into “released.”

Confirm a CUCF Release

Search the UDC Offender Search by offender number when possible. UDC also accepts a first and last name, but a name match needs a second identifier such as date of birth. The official scope is current incarceration, probation, or parole. A current detail can show location, housing facility, and “Release Date and Type.” It may also show public sentence, Board, case manager, and legal-status information.

Next, use the Board hearing and decision search. The newest order is critical. A tentative hearing month only schedules a proceeding. A parole date may later be rescinded. A rehearing, warrant, revocation, contingency, or termination can change the result.

1. Obtain the UDC offender number from a reliable court or corrections record.
2. Search UDC and verify name, date of birth, current status, and housing location.
3. Record the exact “Release Date and Type” wording without converting it into a guarantee.
4. Search BOPP and read the newest full decision in chronological context.
5. Check UDC VINE for a corroborating release or transfer event.
6. Request the final CUCF movement or release record when the public data is incomplete.

CUCF Release Records Contact

CUCF is located in Gunnison and is operated by the Utah Department of Corrections. UDC's correctional-facilities page identifies the institution and its role. Public-information and GRAMA channels handle release and movement records. Ask for the record itself, not a new date calculation or an opinion about why the Board acted.

A focused request can seek public portions of the movement history, release date and type, discharge record, legal status, and the UDC number tied to the Wayne case. Include the legal name, date of birth if lawfully known, court case, approximate dates, and preferred format. Ask for an estimate because GRAMA permits reasonable actual-cost fees.

BOPP maintains its own decision records. AP&P maintains field-supervision records. Wayne courts maintain the judgment and later court orders. Sending each request to its creator avoids a response that the requested record is not held.

CUCF Custody and Capacity

CUCF opened in 1989. UDC says it can house up to 1,800 men across the Henry, Boulder, and Monroe units. Capacity describes the institution, not the number of people connected to Wayne County and not a release total. No source in the Wayne research supplies a county-specific prison population or CUCF release count.

The prison's relative closeness to Wayne County does not establish placement. UDC may move a person based on classification and system needs. A Wayne conviction can result in USCF, CUCF, or a screened contract county placement. The statewide offender number remains useful when the housing field changes.

Note: Facility capacity and present custody are different facts; confirm the individual through UDC rather than an institutional statistic.

CUCF Parole Hearing Records

BOPP holds and listens to hearings on a Gunnison calendar. Its live-hearing information says Gunnison streams run on Tuesdays. That broadcast pattern does not promise that every CUCF case will be heard on a Tuesday, nor does it set a release day. Check the published hearing record for the named person.

Board proceedings include Original Hearings, rehearings, parole-violation hearings, rescission hearings, evidentiary hearings, redeterminations, paper reviews, and special-attention matters. Possible results include a parole date, another review, added action, rescission, reinstatement, revocation, or sentence expiration. Use the order's own words.

The Board says a decision is not made at the hearing itself and generally issues within six weeks, with victim information describing a common two-to-six-week period. Search again after the hearing. Then compare the decision with the UDC record and actual release event. Watching a stream does not replace the written order.

CUCF Releases Through USCF

UDC's release-day material says releases and paroles are processed on Tuesdays and generally completed at the Visiting building at USCF. The same material says almost all UDC prisoners housed in county jails return to USCF for release. It does not state that every CUCF prisoner first moves there, so no such step should be assumed without a movement record.

If a CUCF result changes to USCF near an expected parole date, that is still a transfer until UDC records release. Check the movement, current UDC status, latest Board order, and VINE event. The distinction is especially important for Wayne County, where users may already be tracking a person across Sevier, a contract jail, and the state prison system.

Release-day transport help published by UDC also refers to USCF. People without rides may be processed last and may receive a case-by-case ride to nearby TRAX. That is not a CUCF pickup rule and does not promise transport to Wayne County.

CUCF in Wayne Release Records

Wayne County operates no jail and records zero jail beds in the UDC Jail Programs Booklet. Local jail sentences go to Sevier County Jail. A felony prison sentence follows UDC instead. This divide explains why a person with the same Wayne court origin may need either a Sevier release sheet or a statewide CUCF/UDC release record.

The Wayne County released inmate record path starts by identifying the sovereign and actual custodian. A Sevier record can show transfer to UDC, but the UDC record then becomes the source for the prison episode. Wayne's court register supplies the judgment and later orders, not the CUCF exit time.

A correction should also go to the office that owns the field. CUCF or UDC handles a state movement error. BOPP handles a Board-order issue. The Wayne clerk handles the court docket. Updating one source does not automatically change all independent systems.

Request CUCF Release Records

Utah GRAMA begins with public access subject to classification, court rules, and other statutes. Release date and type may be separable from medical, victim, security, personal identifier, or investigative material. Ask for segregable public portions when part of a record is withheld.

Utah Code §63G-2-204 sets the response process. The official form describes an ordinary response as soon as reasonably possible and no later than ten business days, or five business days when the expedited standard is met. Extraordinary circumstances can extend the time with an explanation. Section 63G-2-203 allows fees tied to actual cost and contains waiver grounds.

Describe the record narrowly: CUCF movement entries, final release date and type, discharge status, and related public custody fields for the named UDC number and time period. Request electronic copies, set a cost cap, and seek a written estimate. A denial should identify the classification and appeal process. This record, paired with the newest Board order, is stronger than a stale housing screenshot.

Correct CUCF Release Records

For an old Utah prison case, the State Archives may hold commitment registers, identification photographs, and discharge dates. Those materials can answer a historical question but should never be used as current custody evidence. Recent CUCF status belongs with UDC, and a modern parole decision belongs with BOPP.

If two records conflict, note when each was updated and ask the custodian of the disputed field to review it. A court sentence entry, Board order, and UDC movement log are independently maintained. One corrected entry may not flow to the other systems at once.
