When residents of Colorado’s halfway houses believe they are victims of wrongdoing, they are often left with few options.

Each facility is required to have a grievance policy, but dozens of residents told us they didn’t use it because they feared staff would retaliate.

Even residents who’d graduated from a program said they were reluctant to criticize their old facility because their parole officer could send them back there.

Robert called his fiancée, Jasmin, from the #HalfwayHouse.

After 15 minutes, she heard a grunt, a thud, then silence.

Alarmed, she called the facility & pleaded with a staffer to check on him.

He was in his bed asleep, the staffer assured her before hanging up.

Robert's body was found at 4:30am on Dec. 25, 2021, facedown on the bathroom floor, still holding his phone. Nearly 5 hours had passed since Jasmin’s call asking staff to check on him.
