09 0715 Justice Center New York, NY


Metropolitan Correctional Center, US Attorney Office and New York Police Headquarters, New York, NY, 15 July 2009. The Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) housed Bernard Madoff from arrest through sentencing, holds for trial the only Guantanamo detainee charged with terrorism, and has held a slew of persons convicted of terrorism and organized crime. The US Attorney Office is the premier prosecutor of terrorism. NYPD claims to have the top municipal counterterrorism operation. In contrast to most famous federal justice centers, which are usually surrounded by high fences and cleared spaces, the MCC, US Attorney Office and Police HQ are easily approached and photographed without interference by plentiful security officers. Bountiful surveillance cameras record prowlers. Adjacent are federal judicial buildings housing Sonia Sotomayor, New York FBI, and various TLAs.
