Florence Colorado is home to ADX Florence — the federal Supermax facility that houses the most dangerous criminals in the US including September 11 conspirators, Unabomber Ted Kaczynski (deceased), Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and foreign intelligence agents. The facility is designed to be the most secure prison in the US. Fremont County's prison concentration creates unique community security considerations. Wildfire risk is significant in the surrounding terrain.
