Metropolitan Detention Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Metropolitan Dentention Center" refers to a series of federal detention facilities (prisons) located throughout the United States.

They are run by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Detention Centers, as opposed to Federal Penitentiaries, are designed to hold prisoners who have either not yet been arraigned, have been denied bail, or are awaiting trial.

Convicted prisoners are transferred to one of a series of Federal Prisons, also run by the Bureau of Prisons.
