State statute dictated that prisoners with death sentences were to be held at the administrative segregation facility at the Colorado State Penitentiary.[1] 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.[2] The inmates returned to Colorado State Penitentiary in 2015 after the outdoor access issue was resolved.[3]
