Big windows for a jail.

I’m still not over the size of this jail. Look at how high those ceilings are gonna be
What do people not get about jail block levels? It’s not like it’s a single floor with really high ceilings. It’s called a two-tier jail block with two, or in this case maybe three, cell levels with mezzanines within the space of a single floor. Surely everyone has seen an episode of one of those prison shows, or movies, or even been to jail themselves (less than 24 hours for myself).

Unsurprising that you know jails well !
What’s that now?
I was in jail for a few hours when I was sixteen. They served us milk and cookies at breaktime. Seriously -

17 for me. I was told by a booking officer or whatever they’re called that the reason for my arrest was ridiculous, and you know that’s gotta be true if they’re willing to say that. I didn’t get milk and cookies though. That’s something.

Maybe it was the time of day of your incarceration.
A facade of this quality on the Torch would’ve helped salvage that building

I haven’t poked into this thread until now but there’s a jail with a better facade going up than the Torch? 
I thought I’ve seen it all. Man that’s embarrassing.

it won’t be as nice once they reach the pen levels. Have to put up a nice image on the street level. I have to lol at the renderings. It’s going to look more like the tombs. There won’t be this much nice glass. It’s a prison. If it does look anything like the renderings then bravo, but i doubt detainess will be treated to the natural lighting from the glass curtainwall.

Now I’m confused. First time seeing the rendering. Why wouldn’t they continue the glass facade treatment up the building? Couldn’t there be bars behind it? Also this is a rather handsome building for what it is.
