Sterling Correctional Facility (SCF) is located in Sterling, Colorado, and is the largest prison in the Colorado Department of Corrections system.
State statute dictated that prisoners with death sentences were to be held at the administrative segregation facility at the Colorado State Penitentiary. In 2011, the State of Colorado moved its death row prisoners to Sterling to settle a federal lawsuit filed by Nathan Dunlap, a death row inmate. Dunlap had complained about the state's lack of outdoor exercise facilities at Colorado State Penitentiary. The inmates returned to Colorado State Penitentiary in 2015 after the outdoor access issue was resolved.
