 Currently the state of Colorado has no physical death row since 2011 when the State of Colorado moved its death row prisoners to the Sterling Correctional Facility in order to settle a federal lawsuit filed by Nathan Dunlap, a death row prisoner who had successfully complained about the state's lack of outdoor exercise facilities at Colorado State Penitentiary.By state statute death-row inmates are executed at the Colorado State Penitentiary where they spend the week before their scheduled execution in a separate holding cell situated in the execution suite.All prisoners with death sentences are given classifications of "securest custody level, administrative segregation".
