The new Department of Corrections Executive Director Rick Raemisch said his idea of success would be lowering the Colorado prison population while reducing the overall crime rate. He is a proponent of merit-based early release programs for non-violent offenders.

Colorado parole officers were also criticized for failing to search for Ebel or issue an arrest warrant until several days after he cut off his monitoring anklet. Rick Raemisch has spent his whole career in law enforcement, including nearly 4 years running the Wisconsin's prison system.
