Welcome to Prison Valley

State of the Art
The newest complex in the valley, Colorado State Penitentiary II, is currently under construction in the heart of Cañon City. At this facility, a state-prison spokesman says, prisoners "won't receive any visits or calls. They won't have contact with anyone. That's our version of Supermax."

Correction appended, August 17, 2010: An early version of this photo gallery included a photo of Donna Como, and mistakenly identified her as a former prisoner. She is in fact, a corrections officer.
