The court's authority to modify restitution is limited. Victims requesting an increase in restitution must contact the prosecuting DA’s office to ask for assistance. Restitution may only be decreased with consent of the prosecuting attorney and the victim(s) or if the offender has otherwise compensated the victim(s) per Section 18-1.3-603, C.R.S.

A physical, mental or communication disability that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning and working. Some examples include mobility or other motor disabilities, vision disabilities, speech and hearing disabilities and, environmental sensitivities, learning disabilities and psychological disorders. The disability makes it hard for the person to do activities that most other people can do. It also may restrict the person’s way of doing things and/or where and for how long the person can do a certain activity or function. People who have a record of such disability or are regarded as having such disability also meet the definition of "disabled" for purposes of having reasonable accommodation made.

Adult and juvenile felony and misdemeanor offenders can be placed on probation. On rare occasions a youth adjudicated for a petty offense may be on probation. A risk assessment is conducted on each probationer to determine the level of supervision necessary to reduce the potential to re-offend. Higher risk offenders receive intensive supervision rather than regular probation. Defendants charged with drug related offenses may have their cases assigned to Adult or Juvenile Drug Court, requiring intensive supervision directed to supporting sustained sobriety.
