Template:Short description The Broward Correctional Institution (BCI) was a correctional facility located in the former Country Estates CDP,[1][2] and later in Southwest Ranches, Florida, operated by the Florida Department of Corrections.[3] The Region IV Correctional Facility Office was located on the grounds of Broward Correctional Institution.[4] The prison was in proximity to Pembroke Pines.[5] It was located along Sheridan Street, near U.S. Route 27.[6]

The facility was opened in 1977 to house a male inmate population. However, in its history the prison has had only female inmates.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

The Town of Southwest Ranches started operations in June 2000, and the prison became a part of the municipality.[7]

It housed female death row inmates until February 2003 when the female death row was moved to Lowell Annex.[8] 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.[6] The facility was closed in 2012.[9] 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."
