Central Utah Prison Release Role
Central Utah Correctional Facility is a UDC state prison in Gunnison, Sanpete County. It is not located in Millard County and does not operate as a county jail. It appears in a Millard release search because a person sentenced in a Millard felony case can be committed to UDC and placed there. UDC can later change that physical placement without changing the person's legal custody.
Three events must remain separate. A transfer moves a prisoner between Gunnison, the Salt Lake City prison, a contract county jail, or another UDC setting. Parole releases the person to conditional community supervision. Sentence expiration or termination ends a different stage of the legal obligation. Housing Facility, UDC Location, and the Board's decision text help distinguish them.
| Event | What to verify | Community release? |
|---|---|---|
| Prison-site move | UDC Location and Housing Facility | No |
| County contract placement | UDC status plus VINE movement | No |
| Parole | Board order and later Location: PAROLE | Yes, with supervision |
| Expiration or termination | Board decision or UDC record | Custody status depends on other holds |
Central Utah Correctional Facility Record Chain
A reliable Gunnison release history begins with the UDC offender
number. That identifier connects the current UDC result, the
Board's hearing and decision search, and a later records
request. Search results should be matched by name and date of
birth as well. Once the correct person is open, record the
Location, Housing Facility, and exact
Release Date/Type value. These fields describe
different parts of status and should not be collapsed into one
answer.
If Housing Facility changes from Central Utah Correctional Facility to the Salt Lake City prison or a contract jail, the person has moved within the corrections system. Utah VINE may report that movement because UDC lists notices for transfers between the two prison sites and moves to county placements. The same service also reports moves to community correctional centers. None of those destination changes proves parole. A Board order and a later UDC community location are still needed for that conclusion.
For a past event that the current UDC search no longer explains, request the movement, release, or discharge record from UDC with a narrow date range. State whether the sought event is departure from Gunnison, release from secure UDC custody, start of parole, or final sentence termination. Those events can occur on different dates. Ask for public portions that can be separated from protected medical, security, or victim information. Pair the response with the Millard sentencing docket and any public Board order to preserve the full legal and physical sequence.
Central Utah Release Search
The statewide UDC Offender Search is the public starting point. A person may be found by offender number or by first and last name, with an optional middle name. The results show identifying fields and a details view. Match the date of birth and offender number before relying on any release information.
- Open the UDC search and select the name or offender-number route.
- Enter enough information to separate the person from similar results.
-
Open the details and read Location, Housing Facility, and
Release Date/Type. - If a future parole date appears, locate the matching Board decision.
- After that date, run the UDC search again and look for a community location.
The field name is Release Date/Type. Do not rename
it as an official projected-release field. A value ending in
Parole date describes a future ordered or scheduled
event. It may change. A person already on parole can show
Location: PAROLE,
Housing Facility: N/A, and no date in that field.
Central Utah Parole Decisions
The Utah Board of Pardons and Parole decides whether and when an eligible state prisoner receives release before sentence expiration. Search by offender number when possible. A name search requires first and last name, and a calendar search is limited to seven days. The public result can show hearing details, decision dates, decision descriptions, effective dates, and a downloadable order.
Hearing labels are not interchangeable. An original hearing considers release. A rescission hearing concerns possible withdrawal of a date already granted. A parole violation hearing concerns conduct after community release. Paper reviews and special-attention entries have their own functions. None proves release by title alone.
Utah Code section 77-27-9 permits rescission before physical
release. For that reason, the strongest confirmation is the
dated Board order plus the UDC record after the effective date.
Location: PAROLE establishes that UDC currently
categorizes the person in community supervision. A future order
alone does not.
Central Utah Movement Notifications
Utah VINE is particularly useful for movement context at Central Utah Correctional Facility. UDC publishes notifications for moves between Utah's prison sites, transfers to county jails, moves to community correctional centers, and prison release. It also lists a parole-release-date notice before release. The event name and destination control its meaning.
Open the correct person record in the Utah VINELink portal, then check the reporting agency and facility. Similar names are not enough. A move from Gunnison to Salt Lake City or to a county placement keeps the person within the corrections system. A release alert should still be checked against UDC Location and the Board order because VINE is an agency-fed notification channel, not the legal release instrument.
Important: A movement notice from Central Utah Correctional Facility can mark a transfer, so destination must be checked before calling it release.
Central Utah and Millard Placements
Millard County Jail is one possible UDC contract placement. The local jail therefore can house both county detainees and state prisoners. If a UDC prisoner moves from Central Utah Correctional Facility to Fillmore, the building changes but state custody remains. The county jail's lack of a public roster does not alter the state record path.
Read the UDC Location and Housing Facility fields together. A named jail may reflect contract placement. For a move reported by VINE, compare the date and destination with the UDC record. If the event is unclear, request the UDC movement record. Do not use a Millard court release order for a different booking as proof that the state commitment ended.
The Millard County Jail record route applies when the event under review is a local booking. State-sentenced custody remains with UDC even when both groups are held in the same building.
Central Utah Post-Release Supervision
Parole is conditional release from prison under UDC supervision. Probation is ordered by a court and does not require a prior prison parole. The public UDC Location field may display either status. Read the originating order to know which one applies.
Millard County community supervision is assigned to the UDC Adult Probation and Parole Region 4 office in Richfield. No separate Millard office is listed in the official directory. Public records should be checked before calling so the office receives a focused request.
UDC Adult Probation and Parole, Region 4835 East 300 North, #500
Richfield, UT 84701
435-896-2770
If a violation is alleged, review Board decisions and the court docket. A warrant entry means an enforcement action was recorded. It does not by itself prove arrest or return to prison. Current physical custody still requires a current agency record.
Central Utah Release Records
Start with Board Search because a public order may answer the release-decision question at once. If more detail is needed, submit a GRAMA request to UDC. Include the offender number, full name, approximate date, and a clear description of the commitment, movement, release, parole, expiration, or termination document requested.
GRAMA allows an agency to separate public information from protected information. A file may contain medical, victim, security, or other restricted facts. Ask for the public release fields and any reasonably separable portion. If access is denied, request the classification and legal basis.
- Ordered date
- The Board's future effective date, subject to later action.
- Actual release
- The completed departure from secure UDC custody.
- Parole
- Community release with UDC supervision still active.
- Termination
- A Board action ending a sentence or supervision obligation.
A fully discharged person may no longer appear in UDC's public current-supervision search. The Board's decision record, the original Millard court docket, and an official UDC response then become the better historical chain. Absence from the live locator is never enough by itself.
Central Utah Records Contacts
Use official statewide channels because the research did not establish facility-specific public release desk details for Central Utah Correctional Facility. The UDC Offender Search answers current status, the Board search supplies decisions, and Region 4 handles community supervision for Millard County. For a records request, direct the inquiry to the UDC office that retains the record.
Board status and search help is published at 801-261-6464. Utah VINE is available at 1-877-884-8463 for custody information and registration. A phone answer may be limited, so the offender number and a precise event date help staff route the question.
Note: Confirm contact information on the official agency page before relying on a visit or time-sensitive request.
