USA / Illinois / Chicago / Chicago, Illinois / West Van Buren Street, 71

The Metropolitan Correctional Center is a 27 story triangular federal jail and prison, built in 1975. It has an exercise yard on its roof, but don't get any ideas about a helicopter breakout; the yard is protected by a meshwork of high-strength chains.
