	About/Additional Info:	Opened in 1975 in the Civic Center neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, MCC New York was the first high-rise facility to be used by the Bureau of Prisons. The jail was technically an extension of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, to which it was connected via a footbridge. Prisoners are assigned to one of 10 separate, self-contained housing units, resulting in little movement within the facility. In 2002, it was widely reported that MCC New York was severely overcrowded. Numerous high-profile individuals have been held at MCC New York during court proceedings, including Gambino crime family bosses John Gotti and Jackie D'Amico, drug dealer Frank Lucas, Ponzi scheme fraudster Bernard Madoff, terrorists Omar Abdel Rahman and Ramzi Yousef, financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and weapons trafficker Viktor Bout. After being extradited to the United States, Mexican drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán was housed in the facility. On August 26, 2021, the Federal Bureau of Prisons announced that the prison would be temporarily closed in response to deteriorating conditions. At the time of the announcement, 233 prisoners were held there; they were moved to other prisons while the department addresses the prison conditions.
