What do inmate departmental records typically include in Colorado... anyone know?

Hey everyone, I was wondering about inmate departmental records in Colorado. What kind of information is typically included in them? Is the inmate required to give consent for releasing this info to an outside party?

In Colorado, inmate records usually include stuff like criminal history, medical records, disciplinary actions, and participation in rehab programs. They also track stuff like parole status and visitation logs.

I’m mainly interested in mental health evaluations. Does anyone know if those are included? Are they treated as medical records?

Just wanted to add that if you’re trying to get info like this, the prison might still withhold certain records if they’re considered too sensitive or could impact security.

Does anyone know if there are exceptions where the inmate’s info can be released without their consent, like for law enforcement or attorneys?

Thanks to everyone for the info! This helped clear up a lot of questions I had about how these records work.
