History
Colorado
Territorial Correctional Facility (CTCF) is the department’s oldest
facility, originally constructed in 1871 as a territorial prison and
became a state prison in 1876. The original building was located in the
middle of a twenty-five acre site donated by local settler Jonathan
Draper. It was constructed of native stone which was quarried on-site.
The facility has undergone many changes over the last 136 years. In
1968, the Receiving/Diagnostic Unit and business offices were added to
existing buildings.
