Denver Post fileA Colorado Department of Corrections officer does an inmate count at the Fremont Correctional Facility in Cañon City in 2011. Colorado’s Department of Corrections is wasting as much as $44 million annually because it has not fixed problems in a treatment program intended to prepare sex offenders for release from prison, a recent state audit found. An analysis by auditors showed that nearly 1,300 prisoners in December 2015 had passed their parole eligibility date but had not received sex-offender treatment.
