This was the view across Smith Street from our hotel in Brooklyn, the 5th-7th floors of the Brooklyn Detention Center (i.e. "Jail"). It's an 815-bed maximum security jail built in 1957 for alleged criminals (such as murderers, rapists, theives and petty criminals) awaiting trial, or those serving up to 1-year sentences. Long term criminals will be transferred to other facilities.

 

Some people call it the "the Atlantic Avenue Jail".
