Ocala, FL Florida Women's Reception Center View
This facility has multiple missions for Florida state female inmates: "reception, in-patient mental health, faith and character based (programs) and general population." It has a maximum capacity of 1345 inmates at a mix of security levels, including minimum, medium, and close. Prior to August 2013, it was known as the "Lowell Reception Center", reflecting its relationship with the nearby Lowell Correctional Institution, which is the largest single women's prison in the U.S. The facility is also adjacent to Florida's Marion Correctional Institution, a men's facility. FWRC has come under criticism for the quality of its medical care. Following an audit in September 2015, an oversight board declared a "medical emergency" at the facility, citing at least three individual inmates with untreated life-threatening medical conditions, poor recordkeeping, and other serious deficiencies on the part of the DOC and its medical provider Corizon..
