Which jail is this exactly?[edit]

Do we have an article on the jail featured in this programme? I've been trying to find one and drawn a blank so far. A Google search for "miami main jail" leads mainly to links to the programme. A search for "miami county jail", on the other hand, leads to a website called miamicountysheriff.org, which seems not to be working. The BBC page on the programme has a link to http://www.miamidade.gov/corrections/ although it's not clear to me from that site exactly which facility we are talking about. List of Florida state prisons and Category:Prisons in Florida are no help (and yes, I do understand that a jail is different from a prison). Any ideas? --Viennese Waltz 10:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This looks to be the facility featured in the programme: http://www.miamidade.gov/corrections/pre_trial_detention.asp . This would appear to correlate with Miami-Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation Department which appears to suggest Pre-Trial Detention Center is the new/official name for the Main Jail.Pit-yacker (talk) 10:31, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
