Centennial Correctional Facility Inmate Lookup

Centennial Correctional Facility Overview

Centennial Correctional Facility is a CDOC Level V facility at the East Canon correctional area in Canon City. The Fremont County facility map lists the address as East Hwy 50 and Evans Ave., Canon City, CO 81215, and the switchboard as 719-269-4810. The research file identifies Warden Ryan Flores. Centennial opened in 1980 as Colorado's maximum-security facility and later changed role when Colorado State Penitentiary opened in 1993. It was classified Level V again in September 2010.

Centennial's population is specialized. The research file says CCF North has most beds designated for Residential Treatment Program offenders with serious mental illness from all custody levels, while remaining beds house Intensive Treatment Community offenders. CCF South was decommissioned in October 2012 and reopened in March 2020 with two towers and restrictive housing beds. Those details make Centennial materially different from minimum-restricted facilities such as Arrowhead and Four Mile.

Because Centennial is a state prison, a person held here has moved beyond county jail booking. The jail may have earlier arrest or commitment records if the person was arrested in Fremont County, but current prison location belongs to CDOC. Court records remain with the Colorado Judicial Branch, and booking photographs or arrest reports remain with the arresting agency. Keeping those systems separate prevents a common mistake: looking for a sentenced CDOC inmate in a nonexistent Fremont County online jail roster.

That CDOC profile is the official facility source for institutional description and visiting contacts, while the separate CDOC search portal handles offender lookup.

Centennial Correctional Facility Capacity and Population

Exact current Centennial capacity and population were not extracted from CDOC's dynamic population reports in the research file. CDOC publishes current and historical monthly population and capacity reports through its statistics page, and individual facility pages point readers to that system for current figures. The safest published facility-specific facts from the research are Centennial's Level V classification, its treatment and restrictive-housing functions, and its CDOC operator.

Fremont County's correctional footprint includes several CDOC prisons and federal facilities, so broad local prisoner totals should not be assigned to Centennial alone. Use CDOC statistics for current facility counts, CDOC Offender Search for a named inmate, and the Fremont County Sheriff's Office only for county-jail custody or local booking records.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Centennial Correctional Facility

Search Centennial inmates through the Colorado Department of Corrections Offender Search. The search fields documented in the research are DOCNO, last name, first name, gender, and a captcha answer. A DOC number is the cleanest search key, but a name search can work when the number is unknown. The result should be checked for the current facility, since CDOC inmates can transfer between prisons.

1. Open CDOC Offender Search rather than a county jail roster.
2. Enter DOCNO, or search by last and first name.
3. Use gender only if it helps narrow similar names.
4. Complete the captcha and review matching records.
5. Confirm that the location is Centennial Correctional Facility before arranging visits or mail.

The CDOC search form, captured from doc.state.co.us/oss, shows the statewide fields used for Centennial and other Colorado prisons.

If no result appears, the person may still be in county jail, may be in federal custody, may have a sealed or changed record, or may be listed under a different name or DOC number. For a recent Fremont County arrest, call the sheriff at 719-276-5555 and search the Colorado Judicial Branch docket separately.

Centennial Correctional Facility Address and Contact

Use CDOC facility contacts for prison questions and visiting contacts for application or appointment questions. Use the statewide locator first when asking about a specific person so you can provide a DOC number or a confirmed spelling.

Visiting Someone at Centennial Correctional Facility

Centennial visiting is governed by CDOC rules and facility scheduling, not by Fremont County jail rules. The research file says Centennial offers in-person, non-contact, and video visits via Securus. Visiting applications and a copy of identification may be mailed to the facility or emailed to doc_ccf_visiting@state.co.us. After approval, video signup uses the CDOC video portal at codoc.gtlvisitme.com/app.

Because Centennial includes restrictive housing and treatment populations, visiting status may depend on the inmate's unit, security restrictions, treatment schedule, and current facility operations. Confirm the current location and approval before traveling to Canon City.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Centennial Correctional Facility

The research file gives Centennial's mailing address but does not provide a facility-specific commissary fee table. CDOC central resources should be used for sending money, writing, calling, and visiting. Address mail using the inmate's committed name and DOC number, and follow CDOC rules for permitted paper, photos, books, packages, and prohibited content.

Intake and Classification at Centennial Correctional Facility

Centennial does not perform county booking for new arrests. It receives sentenced CDOC inmates after court disposition and state prison intake/classification. Classification can consider custody level, mental-health treatment needs, restrictive-housing status, program needs, medical needs, and bed availability. An inmate may transfer into or out of Centennial as those factors change.

If the question is about whether a person was just arrested in Fremont County, use the Fremont County Detention Center process: call the sheriff, ask about public custody information, and check Fremont Combined Court once charges are filed. If the question is about a sentenced prisoner assigned to Centennial, use CDOC and facility visiting contacts.

About Centennial Correctional Facility

Centennial's history tracks Colorado's high-security prison changes. It opened as the state's maximum-security facility, changed after Colorado State Penitentiary opened, and was later classified Level V again. Its current identity is not only maximum custody. The Residential Treatment Program, Intensive Treatment Community, and restrictive-housing beds make it part of CDOC's mental-health, treatment, and control infrastructure in Fremont County.

Programs and daily activities are more restricted than at minimum facilities, and the research file notes critical jobs in food service, laundry, physical plant, and library functions. Those details are important for family members because unit assignment and security status can shape visiting, calls, mail review, and program access. Always use CDOC as the current facility authority.
