I spent the night there once, when arrested for a traffic violation. Twenty guys in a cell, one toilet. The bologna sandwiches are terrible.
It's directly connected to the court house. You emerge into the court rooms from an underground tunnel for arraignment. The transition from concrete dungeon to hard wood court room is pretty striking, and probably not without psychological intent.
I also spent three weeks performing jury duty there, and got to see defendants coming from the other direction, with at least a limited understanding for where some of them had just been.
