Broward Correctional Institution
The Broward Correctional Institution (BCI) was 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 was in proximity to Pembroke Pines.[4] It was located along Sheridan Street, near U.S. Route 27.[5]
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.[6] The Broward Correctional Institution served as a reception center for female inmates. As of 2011, a staff of approximately 272 individuals serviced the facility.[1] As of 2012 624 prisoners, all female, were housed there.[5] The facility was closed in 2012.[7] Closure was scheduled for May 1 of that year. The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel said "BCI was determined to have a relatively low population and a high per diem inmate cost of $111.48." ($150.99 when adjusted for inflation)[5]
