What are the penalties for a felony?
If you’re convicted of a felony and are sentenced to serve time, you will likely be sentenced to over a year behind bars which you will serve in one of Colorado’s 24 state prisons located throughout the state.
For each of Colorado’s six felony classes, the Colorado legislature has established a “presumptive range” of penalties that can be imposed upon conviction:
Class 6 Felony:
12 to 18 months in prison
fine of $1,000 to $100,000
1 year of parole.
Class 5 Felony:
1 to 3 years in prison
fine of $1,000 to $100,000
2 years of parole.
Class 4 Felony:
2 to 6 years in prison
fine of $2,000 to $500,000
3 years of parole.
Class 3 Felony:
4 to 12 years in prison
fine of $3,000 to $750,000
5 years of parole.
Class 2 Felony:
8 to 24 years in prison
fine of $5,000 to $1,000,000
5 years of parole.
Class 1 Felony:
Life imprisonment or death.
no fines
no parole
Judges may impose sentences beyond the presumptive range for certain types of felonies or felonies committed under specific circumstances. Generally, an enhanced sentence greater than the maximum of the presumptive range may be imposed if the felony was:
- a crime of violence
- an “extraordinary risk” crime
- committed by someone who is a “habitual criminal”
- committed against an “at-risk” victim
- committed with aggravating circumstances
