The inmates housed at Colorado Territorial Correctional located at 275 W Hwy 50 in Canon City, CO are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility is located in West Canon City. It can house over 900 inmates of mixed custody levels. The facility also currently serves as an intake, processing and transportation unit, and currently has two medical infirmaries. This facility offers a variety of educational and vocational treatments for offenders. One of the working operations of the facility is the manufacturing of state license plates. Inmates can also work in janitorial, barber and culinary programs. Educational programs include adult basic education and courses to help inmates earn their GED.
