ANNOTATION
Confidential records subject to subpoena and court inspection. Although the parole board's records may be considered to be confidential and not accessible to the public, this should not insulate the records from subpoena and inspection by the court when a prisoner makes out a prima facie case of abuse of discretion or caprice on the part of the board in parole revocation proceedings. Martinez v. Patterson, 429 F.2d 844 (10th Cir. 1970) (decided under former § 17-1-104 as it existed prior to the 1977 repeal and reenactment of this title).
