Parole panel spares Madison Cortez revocation, emphasizes contact with supervising officer
Summary
Madison Cortez’s parole was not revoked June 10, 2025; the panel warned she must prioritize contacting her supervising officer, address a $567 fee arrearage, and maintain reporting requirements.
At a June 10, 2025 hearing the Committee on Parole considered allegations that Madison Cortez failed to report to her supervising officer and provided an invalid address, and that she was $567 behind on supervision fees.
Cortez acknowledged several failures to report and pleaded guilty to some charges and not guilty to others with statements. She told the panel she had attempted to contact the supervising officer by text and call but received little response and that she had been living at 906 Burnley Avenue since her release.
Family members and a support speaker described Cortez’s caregiving responsibilities and said she had work and planned to pay outstanding fees. After a short executive session, Chair Cheryl Renontza and the panel voted not to revoke Cortez’s parole. Renontza told Cortez, “I’m not gonna revoke you. … You have the responsibility to contact your probation officer.” Panel members instructed Cortez to contact her parole officer promptly and to remedy fee arrears.
The committee returned Cortez to supervision with directions to reestablish contact with the supervising officer and resolve outstanding payments; the panel recorded that further failure to report could result in future revocation.
The board closed the matter and directed staff to document the outcome.
