What is centro correccional metropolitano?

The Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), also known as Centro Correccional Metropolitano in Spanish, is a United States federal prison located in New York City. It serves as a temporary, pre-trial detention facility for inmates who are awaiting trial in federal court in the Southern District of New York.

The MCC was first opened in 1975 and has a capacity of 800 inmates. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and houses both male and female inmates of all security levels. The prison is known for its strict security measures, with inmates spending up to 23 hours per day in their cells.

In recent years, the MCC has gained national attention due to its high-profile inmates, including convicted Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. The facility has been criticized for its conditions and treatment of inmates, with reports of overcrowding and inadequate medical care.
