YOS offers a four-part continuum of services, including the Orientation and Training Phase (OTP), Phase I (institutional), Phase II (pre-release), and Phase III (community supervision), all administered by the Division of Prisons. YOS accommodates both male and female juveniles and young adults aged 14 to 19, with a bed capacity limited to two hundred fifty-six.

The Youthful Offender System occupies a unique and crucial role within Colorado's correctional system, focusing on the rehabilitation and successful reintegration of young offenders into society while maintaining public safety.
