Located at 275 W Hwy 50 in Canon City, CO, CTCF carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. CTCF 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 CTCF, originally known as Colorado State Prison, opened in 1871 as a territorial prison and transitioned to a state prison in 1876. Located in Cañon City, it covers 150 acres, with 20 acres within a secure perimeter and staffed with up to six towers. Following the Ramos vs. Lamm lawsuit in the 1970s and 1980s, CSP was renamed CTCF, undergoing extensive remodeling. Today, it has a capacity of 985 medium custody male inmates.
CTCF serves as an ADA designated facility and is the oldest physical plant in the state. Units 1, 3, and 7 house General Population inmates, while Unit 5 is undergoing renovation from a 140-bed transitional unit to a traditional cell house. The infirmary, a 32-bed unit, caters to inmates from all facilities with acute medical and mental health needs. Known colloquially as "Territorial," CTCF is a medium security prison and the oldest in the Colorado DOC system.
Historically, from the 1890s until 1993, CTCF housed Colorado's death row and execution chamber, with the last execution occurring in 1967. In 1993, the Colorado State Penitentiary opened, relocating death row inmates. Presently, the Sterling Correctional Facility accommodates Colorado's death row prisoners. Notably, capital punishment was abolished in Colorado in 2020, with Governor Jared Polis commuting the sentences of the remaining three inmates on death row to life imprisonment.
CTCF 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.
