Glades Correctional Institution
The Glades Correctional Institution was a Florida Department of Corrections state prison for men in unincorporated Palm Beach County, Florida, near Belle Glade.[1]
The prison opened in 1932 as the Florida Farm #2. In 1951 the state renamed the prison to the Glades State Prison Farm. In 1962 it received its current name.[1]
Glades was closed by the state in 2011.[2] In 2014 the state sold the vacant facility and surrounding property to a private local group which included the former mayor of the town.[3]
