Bowden Institution is a medium security prison operated by Correctional Services Canada.[1] It was built on an "open campus" model. In an adjoining minimum security annex prisoners live in ordinary houses.
The facility is located on Alberta's Queen Elizabeth II Highway, between the small towns of Bowden, Alberta and Innisfail, Alberta, approximately halfway between Calgary and Edmonton.[1]
