Located at 15125 US-24 in Buena Vista, CO, BVCF carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. BVCF offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.
The Buena Vista Correctional Complex resides across the railroad tracks on large acreage shared with the Central Colorado Regional Airport and consists of three distinct facilities: Buena Vista Correctional Facility (BVCF), Buena Vista Minimum Center (BVMC), and Transitional Work Center (TWC). BVCF, originally known as the Colorado State Reformatory, dates back to its opening in 1892. BVMC was established in 1999, while TWC initially opened its doors in 1991 and operated as part of the Colorado Correctional Alternative Program until 2010. The Transitional Work Center was reopened in 2019.
BVCF accommodates inmates at the medium and close custody levels, with a capacity of 934 individuals. BVMC, on the other hand, is designed for inmates at the minimum restrictive custody level, with a capacity of 300. TWC serves inmates at the minimum and minimum restrictive custody levels, with a capacity of 75. Each facility within the complex serves a specific purpose and caters to inmates with varying security and programmatic needs.
BVCF maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
