Canon City, CO Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility View
Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility (CTCF), colloquially known simply as "Territorial," is a medium security prison in Cañon City, Colorado. CTCF is the oldest prison in the Colorado DOC system. It was built in 1871 as a territorial prison and became a state prison in 1876. The Colorado DOC system only has two infirmaries, one of which is located in CTCF. The other is located in the Denver Reception & Diagnostic Center (DRDC).[citation needed] From the 1890s to the 1990s, the Colorado death row was located at the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility.[1] The execution chamber was also located in this prison.[2] In the 1990s the Colorado State Penitentiary opened, and death row moved there. As of 2012 the Sterling Correctional Facility houses Colorado's death row prisoners.
