Miami-Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation Department

NELSON Worldwide is providing complete design services for the new Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department campus, seamlessly integrating with the existing TGK detention facility. This modern complex will house critical components of the County’s detention system, including a state-of-the-art Booking and Release Center (BRC), a centralized Warehouse, and the Corrections Headquarters, along with a 500-car garage, canine facilities, and additional support amenities.

Designed to optimize efficiency in intake, release, and transfer processes, the BRC features a large vehicle sallyport to accommodate high volumes of cars, vans, and buses. The facility includes open waiting areas, single and group cells, and temporary housing for 195 arrestees, supported by medical, records, classification, and administrative spaces. Additionally, the complex will incorporate four courtrooms for initial appearances, providing dedicated spaces for the Clerk, State Attorney, and Public Defender.

The four-story Corrections Headquarters is designed with employee well-being in mind, featuring abundant natural light, modern office environments, and dedicated staff amenities such as breakrooms, fitness areas, training spaces, and dining facilities—enhancing both efficiency and workforce morale.
