Colorado corrections alerting judges of hundreds of sentencing flaws

Corrections officials are alerting judges throughout Colorado that errors appear to have resulted in early, improper release dates from prison for hundreds of prisoners they sentenced.

At least one case involved a parolee in El Paso County.

An audit is still underway by the Colorado Department of Corrections.
