📌 About Englewood FCI

admin 18 hours, 58 minutes ago

FCI Englewood is a low-security federal prison for male inmates in Jefferson County, Colorado, near the town of Littleton, with an adjacent minimum-security satellite camp that opened in 1990. Sources differ somewhat on exactly when the original site dates to, but the current institution became operational in 1988. It has housed a number of well-known inmates over the years, including a former state governor whose sentence was later commuted, a former fast-food company spokesperson, and a former corporate executive convicted of fraud — the kind of mix typical of a facility that draws inmates from across the country. Englewood has had its share of security incidents as well, including a 2012 scare when a suspicious substance found in the mail triggered a hazmat lockdown that ultimately turned out to be harmless, and a more serious 2018 incident in which an inmate escaped by driving off the grounds in a vehicle and remained at large for nearly five years before being caught in Florida. For families, it's a fairly standard low-security setting, but one that's had some notable moments in the news over the past couple of decades.
