“Felony criminal charges in Colorado are the highest level of crime that we have. Felonies are then split into six different levels, anywhere from a class six felony up to a class one felony. Class one felonies carry a sentence of life with no chance for parole. Whereas the F6 carries between one and 18 months in the Department of Corrections.”
“Other possible sentences on a felony include probation, which can include up to 90 days of jail, as well as community corrections, which is a facility and a program where people are sentenced to get treatment, and then can ultimately work their way out of a incarceration sentence into a more of a non-residential where they're basically on probation at home.”
“So, collateral consequences when it comes to felonies can be wide ranging. Can be impact on employment, getting jobs, getting certifications from the government. If you possess a professional license, it could prevent you from keeping that license and being able to work in a field of your choice. It can have an impact on trying to secure housing. And then also in the community, being a felon can have a stigma with family, friends, and the community that can have an impact on your life in addition to those that could be housing or employment. Travel to foreign countries can be impacted by a felony conviction. So, collateral consequences when it comes to felonies can be quite wide ranging.”
