The world’s tallest prison standing at 300-foot is being built in Chinatown, New York City, sending residents into an uproar.

The 40-floor tower which will house 1,000 prisoners will be located on the grounds of the former Manhattan Detention Complex.

Known to locals as The Tombs, the old prison will be demolished in order to make way for the “jail scraper”.

The destruction of the detention complex has caused major disruption for nearby residents, with heavy dust and loud noise creating chaos.

Is this just an admission that releasing criminals is really an outworking of not having room to imprison them?

[rlmorel]

In before the first “Escape From New York” reference!

[blackdog]

Hotel MAGA (JAIL).

[Sirius Lee]

This isn’t for criminals. This is for political dissidents

How is a 40ft tall structure the “largest” of anything...besides a doghouse or birdcage?

No.

They need more prison cells for the political prisoners they are getting ready to manufacture.

o, my bad. 40 FL, 300ft. consider me self-correcting and please accept my apologies for any inconvenience. Have a nice day.

[Mr Rogers]

40 FLOORS, not feet.

[reasonisfaith]

This will be for members of the deep state.

Think about it. For one thing, there are few MAGA types in New York City.

[Jonty30]

Volume. If it is built, it will be the world’s largest supermax.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Works for me.

[Beowulf9]

So they’re tearing down the Tombs. Wow.

[null and void]

consider me self-correcting and please accept my apologies for any inconvenience.

Done.

Have a nice day.

You too!

It should be built below ground level, as deep as possible, and the subways should all be rerouted to go right by it. Not through it, like the world trade center, but beside it. Make sure their sleep is just as punishing as being without sunlight

What a waste of time and money. When the Rotten Apple could be building luxury hotels for “newcomers” to stay in instead.

This Prison Ship Looks More Like a Luxury Cruise Liner Than Jail

It’s only going to hold about 100 more people than the Tombs.

I’m guessing they may be reclassifying it to remove the more dangerous people across New York’s prison system.

Thanks for that, I didn’t realize that a city prison existed in New York.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Why build something that will never be used?

By the time it’s done, it will be full of invaders.

[Afterguard]

Whaaaa. It’s New York enjoy the suck.

[PTBAA]

Just skip this half-measure and put the wall around the city, then send it the Snake.
