Unemployment is designed for those ready, willing, and able to work, a status which you clearly do not hold if you are incarcerated. The penalty for lying or misrepresenting yourself to receive unemployment benefits can be severe and is known as benefits fraud - it may include fines and jail time.

You cannot collect unemployment while you collect wages, so if you are paid while on maternity leave, you probably cannot collect unemployment. You should contact the nearest office of the Colorado Department of Labor to know for certain. You can probably google "Colorado Department of Labor" and send them an email to ask. If you can collect unemployment you'll have to contact that office anyway, to get the paperwork.
