The Brooklyn Detention serves as a low/medium-security city detention center located at 275 Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn, NY. Operated locally by the police and sheriff's departments, it houses inmates and detainees awaiting trial or sentencing. Most sentenced inmates have terms of less than two years. The facility also accepts inmates from surrounding towns and occasionally from the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees are regularly admitted to the jail, with some being released on bail or placed under pretrial services caseloads. Others may be supervised by probation agencies or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who remain in custody await their court appearances at the facility, receiving accommodations such as bedding and meals.

The BKDC (originally the Brooklyn House of Detention) is a city jail facility that can hold up to 815 male inmates in its single cells. Most of the population is made up of detainees undergoing the intake process or awaiting trial in Kings or Richmond County.
In 2017, New York City committed to closing the jails on Rikers Island and creating a network of modern borough-based jails instead. The BKDC was designated as one of the jails that be used to replace Rikers. In August 2018, the city released a Draft Scope of Work to outlining their plan for the new jail, which would tear down the existing 162,000 sq ft. facility and replace it with a building eight times as large and up to 40 stories tall.

Individual calls can last up to 15 minutes each, and even dangerous prisoners locked up in solitary confinement get a single, daily call of up to 15 minutes.
