Federal Correctional Institution, Englewood – the low-security federal prison in Jefferson County – has nearly 600 coronavirus cases among its inmates and staff, making it one of the worst outbreaks for a facility of its kind in the country.

The facility, which houses 900 inmates between its primary facility and a smaller satellite camp, has a total of 540 cases among its population. Another 53 staff members are also currently sick, according to the federal Bureau of Prison’s website. While other federal prisons have outbreaks in the hundreds, few are close in magnitude to FCI Englewood. FCI Loretto in Pennsylvania, for instance, has 538 inmate cases, along with 22 sick staff members.

The federal prison complex in Florence, whose Supermax facility houses some of the nation’s most notorious convicted criminals, has 198 inmate cases in all. Another 91 staff members are also currently infected, according to the BOP’s website. 

Though the coronavirus has been spiking in Colorado as a whole for two months, prisons and jails have been particularly hard hit. Hundreds of inmates in county jails and state prisons have become infected during this recent spike, and the state’s first large outbreak in the spring was at the Sterling facility.

A message sent to the Bureau of Prisons was not returned Wednesday afternoon.

Because it’s a lower-security prison than Florence, FCI Englewood has fewer notorious inmates. Still, it has its share of high-profile figures. Jared Fogle, the former spokesman for Subway who was convicted of sexual misconduct involving minors, is imprisoned there. So, too, was former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, until his sentence was commuted by President Donald Trump earlier this year.
