The parole board is the last line of defense against Tina Peters’ release, and time is short to get comments in

The State Parole Board may be required to release Tina Peters from prison on June 1 because the letter Gov. Polis wrote to her granting her clemency “you shall be released  on parole effective June 1,2026, with terms and conditions of parole to be set by the parole board.” He said this to Tina, however, and not the Parole Board, so there may be some wiggle room there as to what the Board can do:

Below  is a copy of the letter Polis addressed to Tina:

Time is short to weigh in with the Parole Board on the possibility of her release, or the terms of her release if it is inevitable. Typically comments on a prisoner’s impending parole need to be submitted months in advance of their parole hearing, but since Polis’ commutation was sudden, it left little time for people to give input to the parole board.

People who want to weigh in should email their comments to doc_info_pb@state.co.us.

Following are guidelines for comments on Tina’s parole:

— When writing to the Parole Board, be sure to include Tina’s Department of Corrections (DOC) number. It’s #203512.

— Direct your message to the entire Parole Board. If you want to personalize it, the names of the Parole Board members are

  • Rändi Moore (Chair),
  • Stephen Holmes (Vice Chair),
  • Greg Saiz,
  • Catherine Rodriguez,
  • Courtney Williams,
  • Jeff Dick,
  • Ron Leonard,
  • Rodrigo Luevano and
  • Sarah Young.

— Focus your comments strictly on public safety and the severity of the crimes.

— Do not make any emotional pleas.

— State concrete reasons why releasing Tina poses an unacceptable risk to society.

— Describe how Tina still poses a direct threat to specific people, the public or themselves. For example, the note below was posted on Tina’s GiveSendGo religious fundraising account in mid-March which sounds like a veiled threat against those she believes “have destroyed her name and uprooted her life.” These people would likely be Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubinstein, who prosecuted her, and Judge Matthew Barrett, who presided over her trial and sentenced her:
