How Release and Parole Work
The sheriff checks for holds before any release. A hold from another county or from the state keeps the person in jail. With no holds, the release goes forward. Some people leave on cash bail. Some use a bond agent. Some get out on their own word to come back for court. Utah Code Title 77 Chapter 20 sets the bail rules. Miss a court date, and the judge can put out a warrant that leads to a new arrest.
For people leaving state prison, the Board of Pardons and Parole runs the release hearings. Utah Code Title 64 sets the rules for the state prison system. Parole means the person is out but still under state watch. Parole agents check in each month. Break the terms, and the state can put the person back in prison.
