Located at 12101 CO-61 in Sterling, CO, SCF carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. SCF 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.
SCF is situated in the northeastern region of Colorado, approximately 120 miles northeast of Denver, spanning an area of 100 acres within a larger 765-acre site. The interior perimeter spans 80 acres, providing a secure environment for operations. Officially opened in June of 1999, SCF serves as a key correctional institution within the state.
With a capacity to accommodate 2,488 individuals, Sterling CF caters to a diverse range of custody levels, including Minimum, Minimum-Restricted, Medium, Close (general population), and Close (Management Control Comprehensive – MCC). This variety of custody levels allows for the appropriate housing and management of individuals with differing security and supervision needs.
SCF 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.
