The Everglades Correctional Institution (also ECI) is a Level 5 security prison facility for adult males in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, in the state of Florida,[2] near Miami.[3] Originally planned as a mental health facility, it was converted to a major Correctional institution in 1995.[citation needed]
In 2022, Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin recorded the album Kingdom Book One at the facility, with 1,300 inmates participating in the recording.[4] The album aimed to spotlight the injustices around mass incarceration in the United States.[5]
