Four Mile Correctional Center Overview
Four Mile Correctional Center is operated by the Colorado Department of Corrections on the East Canon Complex in Canon City. The Fremont County facility map lists East Hwy 50 and Evans Ave., Canon City, CO 81215, and the switchboard as 719-269-5601. CDOC describes Four Mile and Arrowhead as the Canon Minimum Centers under one administration, with Warden Richard Persons identified in the research file.
Four Mile opened in 1983 and is a Level II Minimum Restricted facility. It holds sentenced Colorado DOC inmates, not local pretrial detainees in the Fremont County Detention Center. That distinction controls the whole search path. A person arrested in Fremont County may begin at the sheriff's detention center, appear later in Fremont Combined Court records, and only after sentencing and CDOC classification appear in the CDOC locator. Four Mile is part of that state-prison stage.
The facility's research profile emphasizes vocational training and work. It offers academic and specialized vocational training, life skills, the Gladiator Program with ironworkers, CDL Operating Training, HVAC, and Electrical Systems. Inmate work supports the Canon Warehouse and Correctional Industries dairy, K9, heavy equipment, food service, grounds, and housekeeping. Those programs make Four Mile distinct from Centennial's treatment units, CSP's close-custody units, and CTCF's ADA/infirmary role.

Four Mile Correctional Center Capacity and Population
The research file did not extract a current Four Mile population or capacity number from CDOC's dynamic monthly reports. CDOC publishes current population and capacity information through its statistics page, and facility pages point to that source for up-to-date counts. The supported facility-specific facts are its Level II Minimum Restricted classification, its Canon Minimum Centers administration, and its sentenced CDOC population.
Fremont County's correctional-capital page describes a large local prison presence, but broad county totals cover multiple CDOC facilities and federal prisons. For Four Mile alone, use CDOC statistics for current counts, and avoid mixing sheriff jail population, federal BOP population, and state prison data.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Four Mile Correctional Center
The correct search tool for Four Mile is CDOC Offender Search. The research file documents fields for DOCNO, last name, first name, gender, and a captcha answer. Four Mile is not covered by an online Fremont County jail roster. If the person is in CDOC custody, search the state system. If the person was just arrested locally, call the Fremont County Sheriff's Office.
- Open the CDOC offender search portal.
- Enter the DOC number if known, or search by first and last name.
- Use gender to narrow similar names.
- Complete the captcha and check the result carefully.
- Confirm that the listed facility is Four Mile Correctional Center before scheduling visits or using the mailing address.
The CDOC offender search screenshot is from doc.state.co.us/oss.
When no CDOC result appears, check other systems based on custody type. Fremont County Detention Center covers local pretrial jail custody, Colorado Judicial Branch dockets cover filed cases, BOP covers federal prison, and ICE ODLS covers immigration custody where applicable.

Visiting Someone at Four Mile Correctional Center
Four Mile visiting follows CDOC and Canon Minimum Centers procedures. The research file says visits are by appointment only through video visiting or pre-approved special visits, seven days per week, scheduled one week in advance. Applications go to DOC_ecc-visiting@state.co.us, and denial review is through Canon Minimum Centers administration. Confirm current approval, appointment time, identity requirements, dress rules, and facility operations before traveling.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Four Mile Correctional Center
The research provides Four Mile's mailing address but does not extract a prison-specific deposit fee table. Use CDOC's centralized money, phone, mail, and canteen resources. Include the inmate's committed name and DOC number on mail, and follow current CDOC rules for photos, publications, books, cards, and prohibited material. Because Four Mile and Arrowhead share a PO Box in the research file, verify the facility name and DOC number before mailing.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | Four Mile Correctional Center, PO Box 300, Canon City, CO 81215-0300. |
| Phone or video | Use CDOC phone and video visiting rules; video visits are documented for CMC. |
| Money deposit | Use CDOC Send Money resources and confirm current fees. |
Intake and Classification at Four Mile Correctional Center
Four Mile does not book people arrested by Fremont County agencies. State-prison placement follows sentencing, CDOC reception, classification, and assignment. A person may be assigned to Four Mile because a Level II minimum-restricted setting, work assignment, vocational program, reentry plan, disciplinary record, medical profile, or bed-management need fits that facility. A CDOC locator result should be checked again before visits or mail because transfers can occur.
If a person was recently arrested in Canon City, Florence, Penrose, or elsewhere in Fremont County, the first contact is the Fremont County Sheriff's Office at 719-276-5555. If the person has a court case, use Fremont Combined Court and the Colorado docket search. If the person is sentenced to Colorado prison, use CDOC. That agency separation is especially important in Fremont County because county jail, state prisons, and federal prisons all operate nearby.
About Four Mile Correctional Center
Four Mile is part of the East Canon Correctional Complex, a major piece of Fremont County's correctional landscape. The county's correctional-capital narrative describes prison work, agribusiness, and institutional history as major local forces. Four Mile's training and work programs fit that pattern by connecting custody with practical labor, industry, and vocational preparation.
The research file's program list includes the Gladiator Program with ironworkers, CDL Operating Training, HVAC, Electrical Systems, dairy, K9, heavy equipment, food service, grounds, housekeeping, academic training, specialized vocational training, and life skills. Those details make Four Mile a different user-intent page from nearby Arrowhead even though the two share Canon Minimum Centers administration and visiting contacts.
Note: Confirm Four Mile custody, CDOC visiting approval, and appointment details before traveling to the East Canon area.
