Hi nembley,

opened in March 1976.

"This troubling snapshot of conditions inside the jail, formally known
as the Central Detention Facility, is based on the District
government's own reports detailing court-mandated inspections of the
premises by the D.C. Department of Health. Copies of documents
compiled over the last 18 months were obtained by The Washington Post
under the D.C. Freedom of Information Act after a corrections officer
at the jail nearly died of Legionnaires' disease in June.
While health officials say it is impossible to determine whether the
guard became infected at the jail, the case has heightened concerns
over just how grave the health and environmental situation is within
the building. Since the jail opened in the 1900 block of D Street SE
in March 1976, it has been plagued by chronic sanitary and maintenance
deficiencies despite protracted litigation on behalf of inmates and
extensive intervention by the federal courts."
