The Everglades Correctional Institution (also ECI) is a state-operated prison for men in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, in the state of Florida. It was established in 1995 as a part of a larger push for more beds in Miami-Dade County.[1]
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.[2] The album aimed to spotlight the injustices around mass incarceration in the United States.[3]
