\u201cThe Colorado Department of Corrections maintains strict security protocols across all institutions,\u201d department spokesperson Alondra Gonzalez said in a statement. \u201cOut of an abundance of caution, the Department has temporarily suspended statewide visitation while supporting an ongoing investigation into an isolated incident at one facility. There are no known threats to the surrounding communities at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fatal incident happened Saturday evening at the Bent County Correctional Facility, Gonzalez said. Additional information about what happened inside the prison and how the inmates died was not available on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The two inmates who died have not been publicly identified. The injured inmate was taken to a hospital outside the prison for treatment, Gonzalez said.<\/p>\n

As of Sunday, the Bent County Correctional Facility remained on lockdown status, and all visitation at Colorado Department of Corrections facilities had been suspended, Gonzalez said.<\/p>\n

In a separate statement posted to social media, department officials said visitation had been suspended to \u201ccontinue meeting the needs of both staff and the inmate population while dedicating the necessary resources to\u201d the investigation.<\/p>\n

The Colorado Department of Corrections\u2019 Office of the Inspector General will lead the investigation into the fatal incident.<\/p>\n
