Logan Correctional Center is an Illinois Department of Corrections prison for female offenders in Broadwell Township, Logan County, Illinois, near Lincoln and 30 miles north of Springfield. The 150-acre prison opened in January 1978. A 57-acre plot of fenced land houses general population prisoners. It lies just south of the Lincoln Correctional Center, a facility for male offenders. Until mid-2000 Illinois had coed prisons, housing both male and female inmates in the same prison.
