Lowell Correctional Institution, Women's correctional facility in Marion County, United States
The Lowell Correctional Institution spans across a large complex north of Ocala, containing both the main prison building and an additional annex for female inmates.
The Florida Department of Corrections established this prison in 1956 as the state's first dedicated facility for women, replacing previous segregated units at Florida State Prison.
The institution implements educational and vocational training programs focused on preparing female inmates for their return to society through skill development and certification courses.
Visitors must schedule appointments in advance through the Florida Department of Corrections website and follow strict guidelines regarding approved clothing and personal items.
Environmental tests in 2022 revealed that groundwater near the facility contained chemical compounds from firefighting foam at levels three times higher than state safety standards.
