In addition to producing some of Colorado’s
finest handmade saddles, tack and leather
goods, Colorado Correctional Industries
(CCi) Leather Products is our longest
established Prison Industries Enhancement
Certification Program (PIECP). Since 1990,
our Leather Shop offenders have not only
learned valuable skills and work ethic, but
they’ve also contributed to federal and state
taxes, deductions for incarceration costs,
victim compensation, family support and a
mandatory savings program.
Visit www.coloradoci.com or one of our retail shops, located in Colorado
Springs and Cañon City, for Colorado’s most unique, custom made goods.
In addition to hand crafted saddles, the CCi Leather
Products program crafts a wide variety of leather
gifts including belts, wallets, checkbooks, purses,
dog collars, quality leashes and much more.

Made in the USAUnlike an increasing number of low-cost,
sub-standard, foreign leather goods, the CCi
Leather Products program proudly offers
exceptional quality leather merchandise
hand-crafted in the USA. With annual gross
sales of $750,000, we support our nation’s
economy by sourcing all our raw leather right
here in the USA, and providing local retailers
with outstanding products for resale.
Custom WorkWhether you’re looking for a saddle, tack, or a
unique gift, we provide a variety of custom products
at an outstanding price.
• Custom and economy saddles
• Headstalls, reins, breast collars and saddle bags
• Belts and spur straps
• Checkbook covers, wallets, purses
and writing tablets
• Dog leashes and collars
• Coasters, key chains and more
Saddling UpLeather production is not easy and takes considerable
effort to do well. Whether a worker is hand-cutting a
saddle or floral-stamping a purse, the skills required
take dedication to master.
Some of the expertise acquired includes:
• Hand-cutting saddle and tack pieces
• Basket stamping and floral carving
• Leather molding and casing
• Leather dying and burnishing
• Hand- or machine-stitching
• Applying finishes, stains and oils
Back in the SaddleThe product of a successful 25-year partnership
with a popular retailer, CCi’s leather shop is
located at the Buena Vista Correctional Facility.
Employing over 30 offender workers, the 7,000
square-foot facility produces over half a million
dollars worth of saddles and tack each year for
high-end companies and the U.S. Border Patrol.
One of our PIECP programs, CCi’s Leather
Products program employs offenders in a
realistic work environment and pays prevailing
wages when goods are sold over state lines.
We’re committed to teaching marketable skills
that not only increase an offender’s potential for
meaningful employment upon release, but have
a proven record of reducing recidivism as well.
Offering offenders the opportunity to learn a
valuable trade in a team environment, leather
work is one of the most sought-after work
opportunities. Only the most highly-qualified
are considered and rigorous requirements for
retaining the position are adhered to.
