Metropolitan Detention Center Suspends Visitation Rights

By Y.M. Lowy

The Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn has put a halt to all visitations indefinitely, citing safety and security concerns. The Federal Bureau of Prisons announced this on its website but has kept the specifics of the security measures under wraps.

While visits are suspended, inmates are still receiving the bare essentials like three meals a day, water, showers, and ongoing communication with their families.

Though the reasons behind the sudden change remain unclear, it's clear that there is heightened focus on safety within the center, leaving many wondering what prompted this shift.
