Broward Correctional Institution
The Broward Correctional Institution is a correctional facility located in the former Country Estates CDP and in Southwest Ranches, Florida, operated by the Florida Department of Corrections.[1][2] The Region IV Correctional Facility Office is located on the grounds of Broward Correctional Institution in the former Country Estates CDP.[3] The prison is in proximity to Pembroke Pines.[4]
The facility was opened in 1977 to house a male inmate population. However, in its history the prison has had only female inmates.[citation needed] It housed female death row inmates until February 2003 when the female death row was moved to Lowell Annex.[5] The Broward Correctional Institution serves as a reception center for female inmates. As of 2011, a staff of approximately 272 individuals service the facility.
