Burlington, CO Kit Carson Correctional Center View
Kit Carson Correctional Center in Burlington, Colorado, was a privately operated correctional facility historically run by CoreCivic under contract with the Colorado Department of Corrections. It was used to house sentenced state prison inmates, not typical county pretrial detainees. It did not serve the same role as a county jail, which usually books new arrests, holds people awaiting court, and houses shorter county sentences. For current custody information, the public should verify whether the facility is active and use official Colorado Department of Corrections or Kit Carson County resources.

How to Find an Inmate at Kit Carson Correctional Center
Inmate rosters and custody search tools usually list a person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or conviction information, housing location, and custody status. Records may not appear immediately after arrest or transfer because processing, identification, and data entry can take several hours. Use the official inmate search link available on this page to check the facility roster or the appropriate Colorado Department of Corrections search. If the person was recently arrested in Kit Carson County, also check with the county sheriff or local jail, since county jail records and state prison records are separate.
