The Colorado Department of Corrections lifted visitation restrictions Monday at all facilities except the Bent County Correctional Facility, the site of a weekend “incident” in which two people died and a third was hospitalized, officials said.

The incident reportedly took place on Saturday at the Las Animas facility in southeastern Colorado, according to a statement on the CDOC’s Facebook page. No staff members were injured, according to department spokeswoman Alondra Gonzalez.

The two inmates were identified as 27-year-old Charles Gates and 59-year-old Michael Fisher, the Bent County coroner said in a statement to The Gazette on Monday. Their causes of death were not released.

Colorado public records indicate that before prison, Gates was of Aurora and Fisher was of Denver.

Gates, who turned 27 on June 2, had faced eight criminal cases since 2022, five in Adams County, according to Colorado court records. He was most recently sentenced to two years in prison on Jan. 28 after pleading guilty to theft between $5,000 and $20,000, which appears to add to already existing sentences.

His convictions from crimes committed in 2022 and 2023 include two motor vehicle theft cases in Adams County and one in Douglas County.

Fisher was connected to crimes all in Adams County, court records show. He had five criminal cases from events in 1987 to 1996 and was sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted of first-degree murder in 1998.

Their deaths prompted the suspension of visitation at all correctional facilities in the state on Sunday. Before that announcement, on Thursday, CDOC officials announced visitation would be suspended at the Limon Correctional Facility from Friday through Sunday.

“We understand how vital family connections are to those in our custody and their loved ones,” read the social media statement Monday. “We sincerely thank you for your patience and cooperation as our teams worked diligently to restore visitation across the state.”

Gonzalez would not comment on whether the visitation suspensions at the Limon and Bent County facilities were related, citing an ongoing investigation.
