Colorado Department of Corrections: What Families Need to Know (2026)
Colorado's guide is the most detailed on visiting hours in this set, because the Department of Corrections posts days and hours for each of its 21 facilities, including the two private prisons it lists. Most visits run on weekends, but the pattern differs by facility: Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility visits Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with processing beginning at 10:00 a.m., while Denver Women's Correctional Facility visits Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Several facilities visit by appointment only, including Arrowhead, Four Mile, and Skyline correctional centers, where visits must be scheduled a week in advance, and video visiting is widely available through Securus Technologies. Mailing addresses matter here too: many facilities list a P.O. Box as the mailing address, such as Buena Vista Correctional Complex at P.O. Box 2017, Buena Vista, CO 81211, and Sterling Correctional Facility at P.O. Box 6000, Sterling, CO 80751. The department is led by Executive Director Andre Stancil, and the central office is at 1250 Academy Park Loop, Colorado Springs, CO 80910, phone 719-579-9580. Schedules change, so the guide repeats its most useful advice: call the facility to confirm before you go.
