The Kit Carson Correctional Center is a privately owned, medium-security state prison for men located in Burlington, Kit Carson County, Colorado, owned and operated by the Corrections Corporation of America. The facility houses a maximum capacity of 1488 inmates.
As of April 2016, the facility, with only 580 inmates and a declining population, became the subject of state budget negotiations. In June 2016 the state announced that it would not extend its contact for this facility past the end of July, effectively closing the prison with the loss of 142 local jobs.
