ANNOTATION
Section does not violate equal protection since statutory scheme is reasonably related to the legitimate governmental interest of supervising at-risk mandatory parolees. Parole board is given discretionary power, based on an analysis of factors in § 17-27.5-102 (3) , to determine who among the mandatory parolees shall participate in an intensive supervision program; factors provide guidance to parole board and statutory scheme recognizes that not all mandatory parolees should be placed in an intensive supervision program. People v. Williams, 33 P.3d 1187 (Colo. App. 2001).
The term “granted parole” includes both mandatory and discretionary parole. People v. Garcia, 64 P.3d 857 (Colo. App. 2002); People v. Perea, 74 P.3d 326 (Colo. App. 2002).
