🔒 D.C. Jail

The District of Columbia Jail or the D.C. Central Detention Facility is a jail run by the District of Columbia Department of Corrections in the Hill East neighborhood of Washington, D.C., U.S. The majority of male inmates housed in the Central Detention Facility are awaiting adjudication of cases or are sentenced for misdemeanor offenses. Female inmates in the custody of the D.C. Department of Corrections are housed at the adjacent Correctional Treatment Facility. After the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997, sentenced felons are transferred to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
