It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

LVCF was established in July 2006, representing a new multi-custody Level III facility within the Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC), specifically catering to female inmates. However, legislative changes in July 2020 resulted in a reduction of the bed capacity from 707 to 560. Presently, LVCF comprises three living units with a capacity of 78 beds each, two living units with a capacity of 80 beds each, and Unit 1 and Unit 4 Therapeutic Community, each with 76 beds.

Additionally, LVCF houses 14 general population beds in the Intake Diagnostic Orientation (IDO) unit, along with a 15-bed classification review unit. The facility hosts a diverse classification of female inmates, ranging from minimum to close custody levels. Various services are provided based on housing assignment, including access to a Therapeutic Community, Re-entry services, and an Incentive unit. These offerings aim to address the specific needs of the inmate population and support their rehabilitation and successful reintegration into society.
