The Federal Correctional Institution, Englewood (FCI Englewood) is a low-security United States federal prison for male inmates in Colorado. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), a division of the United States Department of Justice. The facility also has an administrative detention center and an adjacent satellite prison camp for minimum-security offenders.

FCI Englewood is located in unincorporated Jefferson County.[1] FCI Englewood is located off of U.S. Route 285 and Kipling Street, 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Downtown Denver.[2] The facility is named after the city of Englewood, Colorado, and has a Littleton, Colorado, mailing address, but is not in either city.[3]

FCI Englewood had the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the federal prison system, with more than half of incarcerated people contracting the virus.[4]

Notable incidents[]

On April 2, 2012, FCI Englewood was placed on lockdown after a white powdery substance was found inside an envelope addressed to an inmate during a routine mail screening. A hazardous materials team was called to the prison and local and federal law enforcement authorities were notified. The substance was determined to be harmless. The Bureau of Prisons would not identify the inmate to whom the letter was addressed.[5]

On December 21, 2018, the day before the 2018–19 United States federal government shutdown began, prisoner Alan May checked out a vehicle for an alleged work job, and drove off the property without anyone noticing. The government agency responsible for tracking down escaped prisoners was not notified until December 26.[6] As of August 2019, May was still on the run.[7]
