The Metropolitan Detention Center in New York (MDC) has housed inmates such as Joaquín Guzmán, Sean Combs, and Juan Orlando Hernández. Located in Brooklyn, it has been subject to complaints about staff shortages, crime within its walls, and the living conditions in the cells. In the only federal prison in New York, approximately 1,200 prisoners are awaiting trial in federal courts, since the Metropolitan Correctional Center in southern Manhattan was closed.
