Releasing Inmates from Incarceration:

Convicted offenders are sentenced to serve a minimum and maximum term by the court for each crime they commit. Inmates may be housed past their minimum release date but must be released by their maximum release date. Inmates with a "sentenced only" booking status (without detained, hold

status) are eligible for release by the authority of the Commissioner of Corrections. All other booking statuses require action by another authority (such as the court) for release. See below for explanations of why an inmate might be released from incarceration and the booking status(es) to which this

reason might apply.

Bail Paid: Released from incarceration due to paying required bail amount (Detained status)

Court Order: Released from incarceration by authority of the court (Detained status)

Reached Maximum Release Date: Inmate reached maximum release date and is released into the community, no longer under DOC supervision (Sentenced & Detained statuses)

Released to Community Supervision: Released from incarceration, but still supervised by the DOC via a probation & parole office (Sentenced & Detained statuses)

Released to US Marshals/Other State: Inmate released to US Marshals/other authority (Hold Status)

Booking Statuses:The following list describes the booking status for inmates housed in VT correctional

facilities (either in-state or out-of-state). Booking Status indicates the person's circumstance relative to their court case.

Sentenced Statuses:- Sentenced: convicted of crime(s)

-Sentenced/Detained: convicted of crime(s) and held pre-trial for other crime(s)-Sentenced W/Hold: convicted of crime(s) and held for US Marshals or other jurisdiction

-Sentenced/Detained W/Hold: (rare) convicted of crime(s), held pre-trial for other crime(s), and held for US Marshals or other jurisdiction

-Detained W/Hold: awaiting conviction for crime(s) and held for US Marshals or other jurisdiction

Hold Status:-Hold: being held for US Marshals or other jurisdiction

NOTE: Inmates in each booking status are considered in the custody of the Commissioner of Corrections. The Commissioner has authority to make release decisions for inmates with a

"sentenced only" booking status consistent with the law and taking public safety into consideration. All other booking statuses require action by another authority (e.g. the

court), to release a person from incarceration.

Inmates are classified into different Crime Types based on the most serious crime for which they are sentenced, detained, or held. For

example, 01:Fel./Serious. The number (e.g., 01) indicates the severity of the crime ranked from 01-11 from most severe to least severe.

Next, the Crime Type displays whether the most serious crime was a felony (Fel.) or misdemeanor (Misd.). Finally, the category of crime is provided (e.g., Serious). See below for examples of each Crime Type.

Each inmate is counted once in the crime type data.

Crime Type Examples:01:Fel./Serious:  Aggravated Assault, Aggravated Sexual Assault, Murder

02:Fel./Person: Assault and Robbery, Lewd and Lascivious03:Fel./Property: Burglary Occupied, Grand Larceny, Arson

04:Fel./Drug: Dealing, Trafficking, Possession and Sale05:Fel./MotorV: DUI 3 or more
