Primarily houses inmates requiring infirmary care.

North Infirmary Command consists of two infirmary buildings, one of them the original Rikers Island Hospital built in 1932. The facility has a 500-bed capacity housing infirmary care, non-infirmary and general population inmates. It also houses inmates who require extreme protective custody because of the notoriety or the nature of their case. A special dormitory houses inmates with AIDS and AIDS-related cases.
