Fremont Correctional Facility

The Fremont Correctional Facility (FCF) is a prominent state prison in Fremont County, Colorado. Nestled within the East Canon Prison Complex, it has been operational since 1958. Initially established as a medium custody facility, it has evolved into a Level III mixed custody institution. Today, it accommodates a mix of Minimum, Minimum Restricted, Medium, and Close Custody inmates, with a capacity of 1,621 beds.

This facility is distinguished not just by its size but also by its focus on rehabilitation and inmate programs. Among these are the Therapeutic Community Program, the Juveniles and Young Adults Convicted as Adults Program (JYACAP), pre-release preparation programs, and a comprehensive Sex Offender Treatment Program. Many inmates also participate in meaningful work opportunities at the facility, including jobs in leather and metalwork as part of Correctional Industries.

For families and friends of inmates, the visitation schedule is an important consideration. Visitors are welcome on:

• Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from 9:00 AM to 3:15 PM

Video visitation options are also available for those unable to visit in person, providing an essential link for maintaining connections between inmates and their loved ones.

Surrounding the Fremont Correctional Facility is a cluster of other prisons that make up the East Canon Complex, including the Colorado State Penitentiary and the Four Mile Correctional Center. Despite the challenges of incarceration, FCF’s focus on treatment and reentry readiness underscores its commitment to shaping positive paths forward for those in its custody.
