Crowley County Correctional Facility

The Crowley County Correctional Facility (CCCF) is a medium-security prison located in Olney Springs, Colorado. Established in 1998, the facility was originally constructed by Crowley County and has been operated by CoreCivic since its opening. CoreCivic, a prominent private corrections management company, later purchased the facility in 2003.

With an operational capacity of 1,824 inmates, CCCF primarily houses male inmates under medium-security classification. The facility is structured to address the varied needs of its population, offering an array of rehabilitation programs. These include basic education, vocational training, mental health support, substance abuse recovery, and reentry preparation programs – all designed to facilitate a successful reintegration into society.

Over the years, CCCF has faced challenges, including incidents highlighting the need for adequate staffing and inmate management practices. Nonetheless, its efforts to focus on rehabilitation and education remain central to its operations.

The facility has a well-defined visitation process enabling inmates to maintain connections with their loved ones. Appointments can be scheduled by phone or email, providing a clear channel of communication for families and friends of inmates.

Beyond housing inmates, it contributes to the broader mission of the Colorado Department of Corrections by seeking to rehabilitate individuals and prepare them for life after incarceration. Its programs underline the importance of personal growth and breaking the cycle of recidivism, reinforcing a commitment to both public safety and individual rehabilitation.
