Colo. Rev. Stat. § 19-1-131
The department shall promulgate rules that facilitate communication and family time between children and their parents who are incarcerated in a department of corrections facility, a private correctional facility under contract with the department of corrections, or a jail. The purpose of the rules is to normalize, to the extent possible, the child and parent relationship, to aid and encourage healthy child development, and reduce recidivism and intergenerational incarceration. The rules must consider the benefits to the child through maintaining contact with the child's parent and the parent's willingness and desire to maintain a meaningful relationship with the child, and assist in the reunification of the child and parent when appropriate. The rules must consider the impact of rules promulgated pursuant to this section on department of corrections facilities, private correctional facilities under contract with the department of corrections, jails, and county departments that must implement the rules. The department shall consider opportunities to assess the efficacy of the rules promulgated pursuant to this section.
