FCI Englewood, Colorado: Visiting, Mail, Money and Programs

By Elizabeth Franklin-Best, Esq., and Christopher Zoukis, JD, MBA

FCI Englewood at a glance

FCI Englewood is a low-security federal prison for men on the southwestern edge of metropolitan Denver, with a federal detention center on the same grounds; 926 people were counted under its code as of September 2026. Despite the name, it is not in the city of Englewood: its mailing address is Littleton, and it sits in Jefferson County.

It is one of the federal prisons in Colorado and reports to the Bureau’s North Central Region. Two missions set it apart from the state’s other federal prisons: the prison is a Sex Offender Management Program institution, and the detention center holds pretrial defendants, including men sent from other states for court-ordered competency and sanity evaluations.

Where is FCI Englewood, and what is on its grounds?

FCI Englewood stands at 9595 West Quincy Avenue in Jefferson County, near the corner of Quincy Avenue and Kipling Street, with a Littleton mailing address. Its grounds hold the prison, the Federal Detention Center and a minimum-security camp whose suspension the Associated Press reported in December 2024. The psychology department’s internship brochure places the institution 14 miles southwest of downtown Denver at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, on grounds the January 2024 handbook puts at about 320 acres. Our Colorado federal prison guide covers the rest of the state.

Three institutions have shared this land. The prison was built in 1938 and, according to the brochure, first held juveniles, then became a medium-security prison for adult men, and was reduced to low security in the late 2000s. The detention center went up just west of it in December 1987 and a federal prison camp just east of it in April 1991, according to their January 2024 handbooks. The Bureau reports all of them under the single code ENG and describes the whole as a low-security institution “with a detention center.”

Englewood also has a place in sentencing history. The Bureau’s Old Law sentence computation manual (PS 5880.30, 1993) names it as one of only three “pure” Youth Corrections Act institutions, for Act offenders only from May 1, 1982, to December 10, 1985, and its staff remained the Bureau’s Youth Corrections Act contact point until PS 5215.07 removed that duty in September 2016.

There is no “Federal Correctional Complex Englewood”; the roster lists FCI Englewood as a stand-alone institution. Colorado’s other Bureau institutions are the three in Fremont County at the Federal Correctional Complex in Florence: FCI Florence, USP Florence High and USP Florence ADMAX. Englewood is the only one of the four inside the Denver metropolitan area.

Does FCI Englewood still have a satellite camp?

FCI Englewood no longer has a satellite camp on the Bureau’s roster, although other Bureau records still describe one. The Bureau’s population report counts Englewood in a single row with no camp line, and the April 2026 PREA audit recorded an average daily population of eight at the camp over the preceding year, against the roughly 190 men in two wings that the camp’s January 2024 handbook describes.

On December 5, 2024, the Bureau told employees and Congress that it was suspending operations at the minimum-security camps beside its prisons in Oxford, Wisconsin; Littleton, Colorado; and Loretto, Pennsylvania, the Associated Press reported. The AP cited a $26 million estimate to repair the Englewood camp, and the Denver Post’s version said the camp then held 72 men, who were to be moved to other institutions. Our closures and deactivations guide tracks the other sites.

The Bureau’s website has not caught up: its facility page still shows a mailing block headed “For inmates at the Camp,” its location record still carries a camp mail address, and the link labeled as the camp’s orientation handbook opens the detention center’s handbook. The January 2024 camp handbook is on the Bureau’s server but is not linked from the facility page. Do not use the camp mailing block without confirming it with the institution.

One camp case is on the public record. Allen Todd May drove off the camp compound on December 21, 2018, and was arrested in Fort Lauderdale in August 2023; in February 2025, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Colorado announced, he received ten years for wire fraud, escape and aggravated identity theft, consecutive to about seven years left on his earlier sentence, for an oil-and-gas royalty fraud he ran from the camp while serving a 20-year term.

What is the security level at FCI Englewood?

FCI Englewood is a low-security institution on the Bureau’s roster, and the internship brochure calls the detention center an “administrative security Detention Center.” The April 2026 PREA audit lists the site’s levels as “Administrative, Low, Minimum (In, Out, Community).”

Designation to a low-security prison turns on the security-point score, public safety factors and management variables in the Bureau’s classification policy. The sex-offender mission adds routes in: new commitments with a sex-offense history, transfers for treatment, a correctional management plan or protective custody, and moves to keep the program’s share of sex offenders on target (PS 5324.10 at 5–6). The brochure puts that share at a minimum of 40 percent of the prison’s population.

The Bureau’s 2024 care-level charts list Englewood at Care Level 2 for both medical and mental health care (the mental-health chart itself is undated); our care-level guide and the Bureau’s medical designation rules explain the scale. The PREA audit recorded ages from 18 to 84 and average stays of 767.3 days at the prison and 156.5 days at the detention center.

The April 2026 audit gave a designated capacity of 397 at the prison and 118 at the detention center, against populations of 782 and 211, and the auditor recorded that the facility had been over capacity during the previous twelve months. The prison’s January 2024 handbook describes its two living units as housing about 800 men.

What is the Sex Offender Management Program at FCI Englewood?

The Sex Offender Management Program is the Bureau’s system for concentrating men convicted of sex offenses at designated institutions such as FCI Englewood, to reduce the need for protective custody and encourage voluntary treatment. Under the Bureau’s sex offender program rules, Program Statement 5324.10, every such site offers specialized evaluations, the non-residential Sex Offender Treatment Program (SOTP-NR) and correctional management plans that restrict property and outside contact (PS 5324.10 at 5). Our guide to sex offender treatment programs covers the national picture.

Englewood’s psychology department describes the prison as one of four low-security SOMP institutions in the Bureau. Its SOTP-NR is a voluntary, moderate-intensity program for men assessed as low to moderate risk, run in three phases over about nine to twelve months with four to six hours of group therapy a week, according to the internship brochure. The August 2026 FSA Approved Programs Guide lists Englewood among the nine institutions offering SOTP-NR, credits it at 144 hours, and says men ordinarily take it in the last 36 to 48 months of a sentence after risk screening; it places the residential version at two other institutions.

What families feel most is the correctional management plan. Bureau policy allows these plans only at SOMP institutions, bases each on an initial risk assessment, and uses them to restrict mail, telephone contact, visiting and personal property; the warden or a designee approves the plan, and the man is offered a copy (PS 5324.10 at 29–31). A plan can bar visits from prior victims, from children the man is believed to be grooming and their caregivers, and from children whose accompanying adult will not supervise them adequately, and for mail and calls it can also bar contact with other sex offenders. If a plan blocks a letter or visit, the man should first ask for his copy.

Mail screening under these plans has reached the federal court in Denver. In Sheldon v. Bureau of Prisons, an Englewood prisoner whose plan barred “any materials that contain any type of sexual or sexually violent content” objected to his mail being routed to a psychologist for screening; on February 7, 2024, the court denied a preliminary injunction, finding he had shown neither a likelihood of success nor that the balance of harms and the public interest favored him, and noting “[w]ithout prejudging the merits” that courts routinely treat sex-offender treatment and security as legitimate grounds for regulating sexually explicit material. Complaints about a plan start in the administrative remedy program.

Each SOMP institution must have its own program supplement (PS 5324.10 at 32); Englewood’s does not appear on the Bureau’s website. The visiting supplement adds a rule for men convicted of a sex offense involving a minor: their visits are closely monitored, and no child may sit on their lap or beside them.

What is FDC Englewood, and who is held there?

FDC Englewood is the Bureau’s detention center on the same grounds, built just west of the prison in December 1987 for men awaiting trial, sentencing or designation. Its January 2024 handbook and the 2026–2027 brochure both describe it as holding about 198 pretrial and presentence men, while the April 2026 PREA audit gave it a designated capacity of 118, a population of 211 and an average of 185 over the prior year. The audit also records that the site holds people for the U.S. Marshals Service and for a branch of the U.S. military.

The detention center has two self-contained general-population units on two tiers, where meals, recreation and education all happen. Its handbook’s definition of a pretrial inmate reaches material witnesses, people held for civil contempt and defendants committed under the federal competency and insanity statutes (18 U.S.C. §§ 4241–4243). Pretrial detainees need not work unless they waive that protection. The handbook says First Step Act time credits cannot be earned during pretrial confinement or in Marshals Service custody before arrival at the designated facility. A Bureau rule effective September 30, 2026 (91 Fed. Reg. 55740) deletes the regulation’s definition of when a term commences, “the date the inmate arrives or voluntarily surrenders at the designated Bureau facility”; credits now begin “after the inmate’s term of imprisonment commences,” though the Bureau says not “automatically” at sentencing. Pretrial confinement still earns none (18 U.S.C. § 3632(d)(4)(B)(ii)).

Because the Bureau designates the detention center an administrative institution, detainees may not seal outgoing general mail and staff may read it, the FDC handbook says, citing the Bureau’s correspondence rules, PS 5265.14. Legal mail goes out by hand to receiving-and-discharge staff or the unit team, because legal mail dropped in the unit mailbox is treated as general correspondence. See our page on the Bureau’s pretrial inmate policy.

The Bureau’s national Pretrial Detention Legal Access Handbook lists FDC Englewood among its seven “Facilities with Pretrial Detention Centers.” Englewood is not one of the ten “Pretrial Detention Facilities” the handbook treats as exclusively pretrial, and the handbook has no Englewood-specific paragraph, though it says pretrial detainees elsewhere in the Bureau, “including if you are at a facility for a mental health examination or restoration,” should have the same or similar legal access. The undated handbook still cites the telephone policy that PS 5264.09 replaced.

Legal visits, calls and laptops at the detention center

Attorneys may make unscheduled legal visits during business hours in the detention center’s visiting room; outside business hours they must contact unit staff 48 hours ahead, and 48 hours’ notice is preferred for a client in the Special Housing Unit, where visiting space is small (January 2024 handbook). When visiting is restricted, the unit team arranges attorney phone calls instead. A lawyer bringing a laptop must sign the FDC Englewood Laptop Agreement, requested 48 hours before the visit and received 24 hours ahead; it lasts a year.

The May 2021 visiting supplement adds that no more than four legal visits can run at once outside social hours, in three legal rooms with telephones, and that a detainee moved to the prison’s Special Housing Unit is to get a legal call from his unit team within five business days. Attorneys show bar good standing and photo identification and complete the Visiting Attorney Statement (BP-A0241). The supplement cites the rescinded PS 1315.07; the current legal activities policy, PS 1315.08 (2026), requires institutions with a dedicated jail unit to allow scheduled and unscheduled attorney visits during designated hours, and alternative legal access once a disruption lasts more than 24 hours.

Court-ordered competency and sanity evaluations

The detention center is one of 15 Bureau sites with a forensic evaluation program, according to the internship brochure. The court-ordered evaluations, mostly of competency to stand trial and criminal responsibility, are done there on an outpatient basis for defendants sent “from across the United States and Territories.” A family several states away may therefore find a relative listed on the Inmate Locator at “Englewood FCI” before any trial.

The statute sets the clock. Under 18 U.S.C. § 4247(b), a court may commit a defendant for up to 30 days for a competency examination and up to 45 days for an insanity examination, extendable by up to 15 or 30 days on a showing of good cause, in the suitable facility closest to the court unless that is impracticable. The Bureau’s forensic evaluation policy, PS 5070.12, generally sends defendants who need hospitalization to its medical referral centers and others to non-hospital forensic sites, and, for its own monitoring, counts the evaluation period from the day the defendant arrives at the forensic site.

Appellate records show the process at work. In United States v. McRae, an unpublished 2018 decision, the Tenth Circuit affirmed a Utah district court that found a defendant incompetent, and committed him for up to four months of hospitalization and treatment, although a forensic psychologist who evaluated him at FDC Englewood had found him competent and a physician who examined him at the defense’s request disagreed. Eighth Circuit opinions describe a 2012 report from the detention center and a defendant examined there repeatedly in February and March 2023. The brochure calls the detention center’s population high risk for suicide, adjustment problems and detoxification, so counsel and families should pass on medical and mental-health history early.

Who are the notable inmates at FCI Englewood?

As of September 2026, Bureau records place five of the best-known men associated with FCI Englewood there: Jared Fogle, Edward Buck, Michael Slager, Eric Prescott Kay and Eric Franklin Rosser. Two others left from here.

Name and register number	Where Bureau records place him	Why the name is known
Jared Fogle, 12919-028	At FCI Englewood; projected release March 24, 2029	Sentenced in November 2015 in the Southern District of Indiana to 188 months for child-pornography offenses and traveling to engage in commercial sex acts with minors
Edward Buck, 78687-112	At FCI Englewood; projected release June 3, 2045	Sentenced in April 2022 in the Central District of California to 360 months, including for distributing methamphetamine resulting in death
Michael Slager, 31292-171	At FCI Englewood; projected release August 16, 2032	Sentenced in December 2017 in the District of South Carolina to 20 years for the federal civil-rights offense in the April 2015 shooting death of Walter Scott
Eric Prescott Kay, 04401-509	At FCI Englewood; projected release February 18, 2041	Former Los Angeles Angels communications director, sentenced in October 2022 in the Northern District of Texas to 22 years on drug charges tied to the 2019 overdose death of pitcher Tyler Skaggs
Eric Franklin Rosser, 07006-028	At FCI Englewood; projected release February 26, 2027	Sentenced in February 2019 in the District of Montana to ten years for accessing child pornography with intent to view it; a former John Mellencamp keyboardist, Montana station KXLF reported
Rod Blagojevich, 40892-424	“Not in BOP Custody as of” February 18, 2020; his record carries the code ENG	Former Illinois governor who reported here in March 2012 to serve 14 years; commuted in 2020, pardoned by warrant of February 10, 2025
Thomas Kiernan Lane, 43954-509	“Not in BOP Custody as of” August 20, 2024; his record carries the code ENG	Former Minneapolis police officer sentenced in July 2022 in the District of Minnesota to 30 months for depriving George Floyd of his constitutional rights

Several names on older lists are no longer here. Bureau records show Jeffrey Skilling, Jeffrey Sterling, Michael Carona, Tim DeChristopher, Robert Gilbeau, Walter Lee Williams and Rafael Cárdenas Vela released (Cárdenas Vela’s record carries FCI Beaumont Low’s code), Eric Justin Toth at FCI Fort Dix and Jan Rouven Fuechtener at FCI Thomson. Reports of an assault on Fogle surfaced in March 2016; the Bureau said it could not comment on them.

How do I find someone at FCI Englewood?

Search the Bureau’s Inmate Locator by eight-digit register number, or by full first and last name; our locator guide explains the results. A person held here shows as “Located at: Englewood FCI” (code ENG in the locator’s record), and the Bureau uses that entry for detention-center detainees too, so the locator cannot tell you whether someone is in the prison or the FDC; the man, his unit team or his lawyer can.

The name search can miss hyphenated and compound surnames, so try each part, and a record the Bureau marks “IN TRANSIT” (moved out of a Bureau facility, and may or may not be returned) shows on the screen as “NOT IN BOP CUSTODY,” with no facility. A defendant the Marshals Service holds in a county or private jail generally will not appear until the Bureau has custody. For anything else, call the institution at 303-763-4300 or email the executive assistant’s office at [email protected].

How do I write to someone at FCI Englewood?

Address letters to the prison with the block the Bureau prints, putting the person’s committed name and register number on the first line:

INMATE NAME & REGISTER NUMBER
FCI Englewood
FEDERAL CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION
9595 WEST QUINCY AVENUE
LITTLETON, CO 80123

The Bureau publishes no separate block for the detention center; its January 2024 handbook has detainees write “Federal Detention Center, Englewood” as the institution line of their return address, at the same street address, so a letter addressed that way matches the institution’s own format. Ignore the “Satellite Camp” block still on the Bureau’s page, and never leave off the register number. Our guide to writing to a federal inmate and the Bureau’s correspondence rules cover the national requirements.

Legal mail should be marked “Special Mail – Open only in the presence of the inmate” and show the sender’s name and title; the prison handbook says mail without that marking is opened and inspected like any other letter. Books and magazines fall under the national incoming publications rules, a correctional management plan can narrow them, and the detention center caps personal reading at five paperbacks and five magazines no more than six months old.

Rejected mail is hard to challenge after the fact. In Schmid v. Williams, a woman held in a Colorado county jail alleged that FDC Englewood rejected every letter she sent her husband there from July to October 2021. Her constitutional damages claims were dismissed, and the Tenth Circuit dismissed her appeal in an unpublished January 2025 order because her objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation were late, adding, in the Supreme Court’s words, that the Prison Litigation Reform Act “does not provide for a standalone damages remedy against federal jailers.” When a letter is refused, start the administrative remedy process promptly.

How do I send money to someone at FCI Englewood?

Send money to the person’s national trust fund account, never to the Englewood address, by one of the three routes on the Bureau’s Send Money page:

Method	What to enter	When it posts
MoneyGram ExpressPayment	Receive code 7932; account number = register number with no spaces, then last name; company Federal Bureau of Prisons, Washington, DC; beneficiary = committed name; online transfers up to $300	Within 2–4 hours if sent 7:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. Eastern; later transfers post at 7:00 a.m. Eastern the next morning
Western Union Quick Collect	Code city FBOP, DC; attention line = committed name; account number = register number with no spaces or dashes, then last name	Same windows as MoneyGram
Mail	Money order, U.S. government check, certified or cashier’s check, or bank draft, sent to Federal Bureau of Prisons, committed name, register number, Post Office Box 474701, Des Moines, Iowa 50947-0001	On processing; non-USPS money orders and non-government checks are held 15 days, foreign instruments 45

In Colorado terms, the 9:00 p.m. Eastern cutoff is 7:00 p.m. Mountain. Englewood’s January 2024 handbooks still say electronic transfers post “within four hours”; the Bureau’s current page says two to four hours and controls. Cash and personal checks are refused. Write the name and register number on the money order and the envelope, put your return address in the upper left corner, and enclose nothing else, because the lockbox discards anything that is not money.

The commissary ceiling, now $460 a month, caps what the money can buy. Wait until the person has physically arrived at a Bureau facility before sending anything; our guide to sending money to federal inmates has the details.

What are the visiting hours at FCI Englewood?

Social visiting at FCI Englewood is on Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays only, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The visiting supplement, ENG 5267.09c(1) dated May 24, 2021, sets those hours for the prison and the detention center, with processing closed from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. for the count, and the prison’s January 2024 handbook agrees. Listings that advertise Monday and Friday evening visits match no current Englewood document.

The Bureau’s documents give different hours:

Document	Prison	Detention center
Supplement body (May 2021)	Saturday, Sunday, federal holidays, 7:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.; processing closed 9:30–11:00 a.m.	Same, for general population and SHU
Visitor handout attached to the supplement (January 2021)	8:30–9:45 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.; visitors leave the grounds during the 9:45–11:30 count	8:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m., processing closed 9:30–11:00; A-Unit on odd dates, B-Unit on even dates; on holidays A-Unit 8:30–12:00 and B-Unit 12:00–3:30, one hour maximum
Prison handbook (January 2024)	Saturday, Sunday, national holidays, 7:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.; processing closed 9:30–11:00 a.m.	Not covered
Detention center handbook (January 2024)	Not covered	Schedule given at orientation and posted in the unit

The body and the newer handbook agree on 7:30 to 2:30, but nothing withdraws the handout, so call 303-763-4300 before you drive and arrive well before the mid-morning count. On the day you travel, check the Bureau’s facility page for a lockdown notice. See our federal prison visiting guide and the national visiting regulations.

Who can visit, and how many

At the prison, a man may list up to ten friends besides immediate family and other relatives; he must have known every proposed visitor before his incarceration, and visitors are checked through the National Crime Information Center. Immediate family means parents, step-parents, foster parents, siblings, a spouse and children, and a common-law spouse must document the relationship. The detention center admits only immediate family as its handbook defines it: parents, siblings, grandparents, wife, children, and the mother of the man’s child when she brings the child and the birth certificate names both parents.

The first list should go in within 60 days of arrival, and changes are accepted each January, April, July and October. Requests need each visitor’s Social Security number and date of birth, and anyone with an outstanding warrant is denied until it is resolved. A visitor may be on only one prisoner’s list, save a narrow exception for immediate family, and children under 16 must come with a parent or guardian and be related to the man.

Visits are limited to three adults, counting anyone 16 or older but not infants who cannot walk; a larger group needs the unit manager’s advance approval. The prison also uses points: 40 a month, two for each weekend or holiday hour, with any visit over 15 minutes charged as a full hour and legal visits free. When the room fills, visits with local visitors are ordinarily ended first, and staff try to spare visitors from out of state.

Special visits (up to five adults) take about 90 days to arrange, and a holdover must submit his request 14 days ahead. Contact is a handshake, brief embrace and brief closed-mouth kiss at the start and end; an open-mouth kiss ends the visit.

What visitors can wear and bring

Plan for the stricter of two dress lists. The supplement bars camouflage; solid khaki, green, white, orange, gray and brown; tactical clothing and sports jerseys; see-through fabric; tube, tank, halter, crop and backless tops, V-necks and sundresses; and sweat suits, spandex, yoga pants, leggings and pajamas. Necklines must be “within two inches of the notch,” and no hem or slit may rise above the back of the knee. The attached handout adds hoodies and bans shorts outright, while the body allows shorts up to three inches above the knee, so leave shorts at home.

Shoes must be closed-toe with a back and heels no higher than two inches, and every pair is x-rayed; sandals and Croc-style shoes are refused, as are watches and fitness bands. The supplement also says “inclement weather attire will not be permitted within the visiting area,” so in a Denver winter expect to leave a heavy coat in the car or a lobby locker.

Bring only a clear plastic bag, about eight inches across in the supplement and 8 by 12 inches in the handout, holding no more than $25 in change or small bills and a vehicle key without a lanyard. For a baby, the supplement allows two sealed containers of baby food, two empty clear bottles, one unopened container of formula, three diapers, sealed wipes, and a change of clothes and blanket for a newborn, in a bag no larger than 12 by 16 inches. On nursing the documents differ: the supplement sends mothers to a curtained area in the lobby, the handout allows breastfeeding in the visiting room under a cover.

The prison’s visiting room has a small children’s area with a television, and an inmate photographer works there from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays; photo tickets are $1.00 on the 2019 commissary form, the man who pays is the only prisoner allowed in the photo, and the only touching allowed is holding hands. The detention center has neither. Vending-machine food stays sealed until staff inspect it.

Identification and screening

Every visitor 16 or older needs a valid photo ID: a driver’s license, state identification card, military ID, passport or permanent resident card. The supplement refuses Mexican consular identification cards, B1/B2 visas and border crossing cards. Visitors sign the logbook, complete the Notification to Visitor form (BP-A0224), pass a walk-through metal detector and leave belongings in the front-lobby lockers.

Both front lobbies have an ion-scanning drug detector; a visitor who tests positive is turned away for the day, and repeated positives can cost visiting privileges, the 2024 handbooks say. Vehicles are subject to search, and anyone not approved to visit may not wait inside or in the parking lot, so a driver who is not on the list needs somewhere else to be.

Getting there

The institution is on the north side of West Quincy Avenue between Wadsworth Boulevard and Kipling Street, about a mile south of Hampden Avenue. The January 2024 handbook’s directions: from Hampden, turn south on Wadsworth or Kipling; from Wadsworth, turn west on Quincy, toward the mountains, for about a mile and a half; from Kipling, the institution is just east of the Quincy intersection.

Denver International Airport is on the northeast side of the metro area, about 50 miles away by the handbook’s estimate; the handbook’s route is Peña Boulevard south to Interstate 70 west, then Wadsworth Boulevard south and Quincy Avenue west. For buses and trains, call the Regional Transportation District’s trip-planning line, 303-299-6000. The handbook’s directions still show 303-985-1566, the number in the Bureau’s 1999 State of the Bureau; call 303-763-4300 instead.

Directory listings that put the prison “off Interstate 285” match that 1999 Bureau publication. The institution’s own handbook calls Hampden Avenue “also known as Highway 285.”

How do phone calls and email work at FCI Englewood?

Men at FCI Englewood call up to 30 approved numbers through the Bureau’s TRUFONE system and send email through TRULINCS. Under the Bureau’s telephone regulations, Program Statement 5264.09, issued September 3, 2026, every account is limited to 510 minutes a calendar month: men eligible for First Step Act telephone incentives get 300 of them at no charge, and anyone, eligible or not, may buy 210 more after using up the first 300 (PS 5264.09 at 7). A single call should generally not exceed 15 minutes, with at least 30 minutes between completed calls; telephone hours run from 6:00 a.m. to no later than 11:30 p.m., and unmonitored legal calls do not count against the monthly limit. PS 5264.09 controls over the January 2024 handbook and drops the old November–December holiday minutes.

Pretrial detainees get some room. A warden may allow collect calls for good cause, and the policy’s examples include new arrivals, men in federal detention centers, pretrial and holdover prisoners, and men without funds, and it says calling-hour limits should not be imposed in pretrial units where men are not required to work (PS 5264.09 at 6–7). Ordinary TRUFONE calls to a lawyer are recorded; the unit team arranges unmonitored legal calls, and the pretrial handbook says a longer one needs a BP-A0148 request showing that mail, visits and ordinary calls are not enough.

To unblock the institution’s calls, a recipient now sends a written request with copies of a recent phone bill and valid government identification (PS 5264.09 at 6); the detention center’s 2024 handbook omits the identification, so include it.

TRULINCS email costs 5 cents a minute and printing 15 cents a page, and a man may keep up to 100 contacts, 30 of them with email addresses, according to the prison handbook; none of it is confidential, including messages to a lawyer. When an immediate family member dies or is seriously ill, the chapel arranges an emergency call once staff verify it. Our guides to federal inmate phone calls and TRULINCS email explain the national systems.

What can people buy at the FCI Englewood commissary?

People at FCI Englewood can spend up to $460 a month at the commissary. The Bureau’s trust fund rules, Program Statement 4500.13, issued May 7, 2026, set that national ceiling, and the limit rises by $50 during the November and December holiday period, for no more than one validation period. Both of Englewood’s January 2024 handbooks still print the old $360 limit. Stamps, nicotine-replacement patches and lozenges, over-the-counter medicine and vitamins, kosher or halal shelf-stable entrées for men in Inmate Financial Responsibility Program refusal status, copy cards and paper, footwear, mattresses and a secured media device fall outside the limit (PS 4500.13 at 28).

Men at the prison shop Monday through Thursday. At the detention center each unit shops once a week on its assigned day, the list must be in the commissary box beforehand, and late lists are not filled.

The Bureau’s commissary order form for Englewood dates from 2019, so treat its prices as a guide. It prints no spending limit, only item caps such as two sodas and 20 soups. It lists an MP3 player at $88.40, a radio at $29.50 and a Casio watch at $94.00, and still sells typewriter ribbons ($8.95) and correction ribbons ($10.60), which the prison handbook points men doing legal work toward. Two items are still marked “camp only.” See our commissary guide.

What programs are available at FCI Englewood?

FCI Englewood’s programs follow its sex-offender mission: the Bureau’s August 2026 First Step Act Approved Programs Guide names it for Federal Prison Industries, the Residential Drug Abuse Program, the Resolve trauma program and SOTP-NR, both in those programs’ detail cells and in its by-institution grid. Approval for First Step Act credit does not mean a seat is open, so ask the unit team in writing about waiting lists.

RDAP and drug treatment

FCI Englewood is on the Residential Drug Abuse Program list in the FSA guide (updated in June 2026), which counts 57 RDAPs at 50 locations. The internship brochure explains the local difference: the program has 60 seats, fewer than most of the Bureau’s, because it was designed to run inside a SOMP institution, and many participants also take SOTP-NR, some at the same time. RDAP runs 500 hours over about nine months, followed by up to 12 months of follow-up treatment.

The prison also offers the drug education class, the non-residential drug program and medication-assisted treatment. Whether finishing RDAP shortens a sentence depends on the conviction and criminal history; see our pages on RDAP and early release, the program itself, the Bureau’s treatment program rules and offenses that preclude early release.

Psychology and trauma treatment

The Resolve program, credited at 80 hours, treats trauma-related mental health needs through an educational workshop, a Seeking Safety skills group, and dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy or a skills maintenance group. At Englewood it runs only at the prison, the handbook says, and the brochure describes 12-session groups in Seeking Strength and in each of the two therapies. Psychology staff interview new commitments within 14 days of arrival and transfers within 30.

Education, UNICOR and work

Englewood’s UNICOR factory makes clothing and textiles, according to the factory map on the Bureau’s UNICOR page, and a March 2026 UNICOR solicitation ships radio-frequency labels and hangtags to the “Englewood Cut and Sew” at this address. The FSA guide names Englewood for Federal Prison Industries, credits it at 500 hours, and gives waiting-list preference to men within three years of release, veterans and men with financial obligations; the handbook requires a high school diploma or GED.

The January 2024 handbook lists GED and English as a second language, parenting, adult continuing education and pre-release courses, a business-education vocational program, and Arapahoe Community College certificate programs for men who pass entrance exams. Other college work is by correspondence, and Englewood is not one of the sixteen institutions the August 2026 guide names for Pell-funded post-secondary education. The Jefferson County Public Library lends books through inter-library loan.

At the detention center, education is an independent-study program offered from time to time, plus an electronic law library and a leisure library in each unit. Pretrial detainees work only if they waive their right not to, and the warden may approve performance pay for them. Our federal prison education guide covers the national programs.

What is daily life like at FCI Englewood?

Daily life at the prison runs around counts at midnight, 3:00 and 5:00 a.m., stand-up counts at 4:00 and 9:00 p.m., and a 10:00 a.m. stand-up count on weekends and holidays; most work assignments run from 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on weekdays. The table sets the two January 2024 handbooks side by side.

Routine	Prison	Detention center
Morning	Beds made and areas ready for inspection by 7:30 a.m. on weekdays	Wake-up 6:00 a.m.; cell lights on at 6:30 a.m. weekdays and 8:00 a.m. weekends, off at 11:00 p.m.
Meals	Breakfast 6:00 a.m.; lunch from 10:30 a.m. on weekdays; dinner after the 4:00 p.m. count	Breakfast normally 6:00 to 7:00 a.m., lunch 11:00 a.m. to noon, dinner 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Pill line	Weekdays 7:00–7:30 a.m. and 3:00–3:30 p.m.; weekends 7:30–8:00 a.m. and 3:00–3:30 p.m.	Weekdays 7:30–8:30 a.m. and 4:30–5:30 p.m.; weekends 7:30–8:00 a.m. and 4:30–5:30 p.m.
Sick call	8:00–9:30 a.m. on weekdays except Wednesday	In the unit exam rooms, weekdays except Wednesday
Recreation	Recreation center and hobby shop 6:00–9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m.–3:15 p.m. and 4:30–8:15 p.m.; gym evenings in winter only	One hour a day for each unit, between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. on weekdays
Dress	Khaki shirt, pants, belt and boots, 7:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. on weekdays	Jumpsuits in common areas until 4:00 p.m. on weekdays

The April 2026 PREA audit counted 14 housing units across the site: ten with multiple-occupancy cells, four open-bay dormitories and none with single cells, plus 24 segregation cells.

Recreation ranges from a paved track and softball fields to a wellness center and a hobby shop with a waiting list. Movies play every weekend; Saturday brunch runs 10:30 to 11:30.

Health care follows the usual Bureau pattern: a physical within 14 days, a $2 co-pay for most visits a man requests, and waiting lists for dental cleanings and the eye doctor. The detention center’s handbook says its clinic is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. Our guide to daily life in federal prison covers the shared routines.

What do inspectors say about conditions at FCI Englewood?

The public record shows no on-site inspection of this facility by the DOJ Office of the Inspector General.

Englewood is not among the 14 BOP institutions the Inspector General had inspected since 2023, on the office’s own count in May 2026 (Report 26-055). The office has examined Englewood in other ways. Its auditors visited “the Englewood FCI” for background on a Bureau-wide pharmacy audit, published in November 2005, but left it out of the results (Report 06-03). A March 2006 contract audit (GR-60-06-006), summarized in a 2008 health-care report, reviewed FCI Englewood’s comprehensive medical services contract with HCA-HealthONE and found that the contractor had not submitted required quarterly billing-analysis reports, that the contracting officer’s technical representative could not document the information in quarterly contractor performance reports, and that there were no written procedures for monitoring billing.

The office’s criminal cases add two entries: a former Englewood correctional officer sentenced in January 2009 to a year and a day for accepting a bribe after smuggling loose tobacco and rolling papers to a prisoner for cash, and a former Englewood employee who, as treasurer of the local American Federation of Government Employees union, was sentenced in 2015 to probation, restitution and a fine for making and using a false document, Labor Department forms that under-reported what the union paid her. No D.C. Corrections Information Council inspection report covers Englewood.

The April 2026 PREA audit

Matthew Taylor of Corrections Consulting Services audited Englewood under the Prison Rape Elimination Act on April 7–9, 2026, covering the prison, the detention center and the camp’s remaining population; his final report is dated May 12, 2026. Englewood exceeded one standard, employee training, because staff get comprehensive PREA training every year instead of every two, met the other 44 and failed none. The Bureau’s PREA policy sets the framework, and our guide to violence and sexual assault in prison covers the wider picture.

On the audit’s first day, April 7, 2026, the population was 978, including 130 people who had disclosed prior sexual victimization at screening. In the preceding twelve months the facility logged eight allegations of inmate-on-inmate sexual abuse, three of staff-on-inmate sexual abuse and 13 of inmate-on-inmate sexual harassment, and no administrative investigation had been substantiated: the inmate-on-inmate abuse cases closed as two unfounded and six unsubstantiated, the harassment cases as three unfounded and eight unsubstantiated with two open, and two staff cases remained open, with the auditor noting a completed file received afterward. Unsubstantiated means the evidence could not settle what happened, not that the report was false.

The staff-on-inmate investigation files were not available during the file review because the investigator had been temporarily assigned to another facility; they arrived afterward and the auditor accepted them. Forensic medical examinations are done at Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver, and The Blue Bench, a Denver victim-advocacy organization, provides emotional support and advocacy under a memorandum of understanding. The previous audit took place on February 14–16, 2023.

Sexual-abuse allegations in GAO’s count

The Government Accountability Office’s May 2026 report on sexual abuse in federal prisons (GAO-26-107343) counts Englewood allegations in two tables that must not be added together: Table 7 records 29 with an incarcerated perpetrator by the year of the incident (4, 2, 9, 6 and 8 for 2020 through 2024), and Table 8 records 16 against Bureau staff by the year of the report (1, 1, 3, 2 and 9). These are allegations, not findings; nationally, from 2014 through 2022, most ended unsubstantiated, meaning the evidence was insufficient either way, and because GAO did not adjust for population, the counts cannot rank prisons.

Staffing, deaths and the courts

Staffing has been the union’s main complaint. After an April 2024 protest, the American Federation of Government Employees said Englewood was authorized 270 positions but had filled only about 220 and had logged more than 500 instances of forced overtime since the start of that year; the local’s president said the prison had over 330 authorized positions less than a decade earlier and described staff sleeping in their cars.

Three deaths appear in Bureau releases. The Bureau said that on September 24, 2025, Mauritzio Marco Thornwall, 29, who had arrived in pretrial status in March 2024 after being indicted for possession of a weapon, was found unresponsive at the detention center and pronounced deceased by hospital personnel, and that the FBI was notified. 9NEWS reported in August 2026 that Ely Delmastro had been charged with first-degree murder in Thornwall’s death. On September 3, 2026, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Colorado announced that Delmastro, 50, had pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for killing a fellow prisoner, identified as “M.T.,” with “a homemade metal weapon sharpened into a knife” while held at Englewood in September 2025, and to eight counts of brandishing a firearm in armed robberies; the office said he faces a minimum sentence of life in prison, with sentencing set for December 11. The Bureau also reported the January 2022 death of Francisco Aybar, 81, who had arrived in pretrial status in November 2021 and whose death an autopsy linked to COVID-19, and the May 2021 death of Larry Harris, 74, pronounced deceased by emergency medical services personnel.

FCI Englewood in the news

Recent news about FCI Englewood centers on a death at the detention center in September 2025 and a prisoner’s guilty plea to murdering a fellow prisoner there; older items concern the camp’s suspension, a staffing protest, a camp escapee’s sentence, two earlier deaths and Rod Blagojevich’s release.

• February 13, 2025 — The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Colorado announced a ten-year sentence for Allen Todd May, who drove away from the Englewood camp in 2018 after running a royalty fraud from it.

Frequently asked questions about FCI Englewood

Problems at FCI Englewood: where we can help

Englewood’s records point to recurring problems, each easier to handle early:

• A correctional management plan that blocks mail, visits or calls; the man must be offered a copy, and the restrictions can be contested through the administrative remedy program.
• A competency evaluation or restoration commitment that runs past the statutory period, or a detention-center competency finding that another evaluator disputes, as in the Utah case the Tenth Circuit decided in 2018.
• Legal access at the detention center, from laptop agreements to attorney calls during restrictions, now governed by the Bureau’s legal activities rules, PS 1315.08.
• Program timing for men who need both RDAP’s 60 seats and SOTP-NR, and the First Step Act credits, halfway-house placement and home confinement that the timing affects on the way to early release.
• Serious illness or advanced age: the April 2026 audit recorded men as old as 84, and a medical decline can be the basis for a compassionate release request under the Bureau’s September 2026 reduction-in-sentence procedures, PS 5050.51.
• Disputes over how the Bureau is executing a sentence, including how it computes the sentence, which are ordinarily brought in the District of Colorado as a Section 2241 petition with appeals to the Tenth Circuit, while challenges to the conviction or sentence itself go back to the sentencing court under 28 U.S.C. § 2255.

Elizabeth Franklin-Best, P.C. represents people in federal prison and their families in compassionate release motions, § 2255 motions, federal appeals and early-release matters, including requests to the Bureau of Prisons and litigation over its decisions.
