The facility is surrounded by 12-foot razor-wire fencing and its 1,400 steel doors, motion detectors, and cameras are all remote-controlled. So how secure is supermax? Well, if you’re stopping in Florence’s historic district for a bite to eat, we can assure you that America’s most dangerous captives will remain safely behind bars.
Today, ADX Florence can be referred to as either “a super-maximum” (supermax) or an “administrative maximum” (ADX or ADMAX) security prison.
In reference to San Francisco’s most notorious island prison, Florence ADMAX is the only facility that can claim to be as secure as the shark-filled, choppy waters of the Pacific Ocean. Why is it called the Alcatraz of the Rockies? Without a single escaped convict in its history, the Alcatraz of the Rockies is the United States’ only level six super-maximum security prison. “ADX” is one of three facilities found in the Florence, Colorado Federal Correctional Complex, alongside separate medium security and high-security prisons. Located in Fremont County southeast of Cañon City, the jail is home to some of the United States’ most dangerous high-profile criminals. Dubbed the “Alcatraz of the Rockies,” the United States Penitentiary Florence Administrative Maximum (ADMAX) facility is the highest security prison in the country.
