Fremont Correctional Facility Inmate Lookup

Fremont Correctional Facility Overview

Fremont Correctional Facility is a state-prison facility operated by the Colorado Department of Corrections on the East Canon correctional campus in Canon City. The research map places it at East Hwy 50 and Evans Ave., Canon City, CO 81215, with switchboard phone 719-269-5002. It serves sentenced Colorado DOC inmates, not people recently arrested by the Fremont County Sheriff's Office. That distinction matters for search results: the Fremont County Detention Center handles local pretrial and short county-sentence custody, while Fremont Correctional Facility is part of the state prison system.

CDOC describes Fremont Correctional Facility as a Level III mixed-custody prison. The facility opened in 1958 as a medium-custody institution and now houses minimum, minimum-restricted, medium, and close-custody inmates. Fremont County's official correctional-capital narrative describes the prison as one of the state's largest and states that it holds more than 1,700 inmates. CDOC facility pages also point readers to the department's statistics page for current population and capacity reports, so the county figure is best treated as a supported local description rather than a live population count.

Fremont County has a dense corrections footprint, and the name of this facility can be confused with the county itself. A Fremont County arrest can begin at the county detention center, move through Fremont Combined Court, and later become a CDOC sentence only after court disposition and state intake. Someone who appears in the CDOC search may have a Fremont County case history, but the facility record is a state custody record. Questions about prison visitation, prison mail, CDOC classification, or inmate money should be routed through CDOC resources rather than the sheriff's jail counter.

Fremont Correctional Facility Capacity and Population

The sourced facility-specific population number in the research is Fremont County's statement that Fremont Correctional Facility has 1,700+ inmates. The exact current capacity and daily population were not extracted from the CDOC dynamic monthly reports during research. For a live figure, use the CDOC statistics page, which publishes current and historical monthly population and capacity reports for Colorado prisons.

The county's broader correctional-capital page says CDOC facilities in Fremont County incarcerate about 5,100 prisoners. That number covers the local CDOC system, not just Fremont Correctional Facility and not the sheriff's detention center. Current CDOC reports should be checked before using a number for litigation, reporting, family travel, release planning, or public-records work.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Fremont Correctional Facility

Use the Colorado Department of Corrections offender search for Fremont Correctional Facility. The CDOC locator searches sentenced state inmates by DOC number, last name, first name, gender, and captcha. It is separate from any county jail lookup. If a person was just arrested in Canon City, Florence, Penrose, or elsewhere in Fremont County, start with the Fremont County Sheriff's Office at 719-276-5555 before assuming the person is in CDOC custody.

1. Open the CDOC offender search and enter the DOC number if available, since that is the cleanest match.
2. If the DOC number is unknown, search by last name and first name, then use gender only if it helps narrow common names.
3. Review the result carefully and confirm the listed location, custody information, and sentence-related fields before contacting the facility.
4. If the person is not found, check whether the person is still in county jail, has been released, is in another CDOC facility, or is in federal custody through the BOP locator.

The CDOC search screenshot below comes from the official state locator at doc.state.co.us/oss. It shows why DOC number, name, gender, and captcha are the search inputs to prepare before starting a Fremont Correctional Facility inmate lookup.

Because CDOC records follow the state prison system, a local court case or sheriff booking record may not update at the same pace as the prison locator. Confirm the person, facility, and current status before scheduling travel or sending funds.

Fremont Correctional Facility Address and Contact

The facility switchboard is the best starting point for prison-specific questions that are not answered by the CDOC locator or the facility page. Use the published mailing address for correspondence and the visiting email for appointment questions. Do not send money in ordinary mail unless CDOC's current money instructions specifically allow the method you plan to use.

Visiting Someone at Fremont Correctional Facility

Fremont Correctional Facility visits are CDOC prison visits, not county jail visits. The research lists in-person visiting Thursday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., appointments through DOC_fcf_visiting@state.co.us, and video visiting through Securus. Visitors should expect CDOC approval and scheduling requirements before the visit date. Bring valid identification, follow CDOC dress and conduct rules, and confirm the appointment before traveling to Canon City.

The CDOC facility profile at cdoc.colorado.gov/facilities/canon-city/fremont-correctional-facility is the matched official source for the facility profile and visiting details. The screenshot below preserves that source context for Fremont Correctional Facility.

Schedules can change for lockdowns, staffing, weather, or facility operations. A visitor who has approval in another CDOC facility should still verify whether Fremont Correctional Facility requires a separate appointment or facility-specific visiting step.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Fremont Correctional Facility

Mail should use the inmate's committed name and DOC number when available, followed by the Fremont Correctional Facility mailing address. The research gives the mailing address as PO Box 999, Canon City, CO 81215-0999. CDOC uses centralized rules for mail, canteen, phone access, and money. Those rules can change by vendor contract or facility security level, so use CDOC's current "Send Money," "Write to or Call an Inmate," and facility visiting pages before sending anything of value.

Admission, Classification, and Records

Fremont Correctional Facility does not book street arrests for Fremont County. A person enters CDOC custody after sentencing or another state correctional transfer process. CDOC classification determines the prison placement, custody level, programs, and transfer path. If a person disappears from local jail information after a court disposition, check the CDOC locator after state intake rather than assuming the county jail still holds the person.

For records, separate the agency that made the record from the facility where the person is held. Arrest reports, booking records, and local jail commitment or discharge entries are sheriff records. Court filings belong to the Colorado Judicial Branch. CDOC prison classification, location, sentence, and visitation records belong to the Colorado Department of Corrections. Colorado's public-records process generally sends a requester to the custodian that maintains the record, so a CDOC prison question should not be routed to the Fremont County Sheriff's Office unless it concerns the original local arrest.

About Fremont Correctional Facility

Programs listed in the research include Therapeutic Community, JYACAP for juveniles and young adults convicted as adults, pre-release programming, sex-offender treatment, and Colorado Correctional Industries leather and metal products work. These details help distinguish Fremont Correctional Facility from nearby minimum, close-custody, treatment, and federal institutions in Fremont County. The county's correctional history is unusually concentrated, but each facility has its own custody level, program mix, and search system.

When custody is uncertain, use the custody level to choose the lookup path. Recent local arrest or bond question: contact the Fremont County Detention Center. Sentenced Colorado prison inmate: search CDOC. Federal sentence: search BOP. Immigration custody possibility: use ICE ODLS. Using the wrong system is the most common reason a legitimate custody record appears to be missing.
