Background
Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility (CTCF), colloquially known simply as "Territorial" and formerly known as the Colorado State Prison, 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). From the 1890s until 1993, the Colorado death row and execution chamber was located at the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility, but the last execution to take place there was in 1967.
