The Floating Jail
The Vernon C. Bain Center (VCBC) is an 800-bed jail barge used to hold
inmates for New York City as part of the New York City Department of
Corrections as part of the vast Rikers Island jail complex. Built in New
Orleans for $161 million and brought to New York in 1992 to reduce
overcrowding in the island's land-bound buildings for a lower price
under a David Dinkins-led crime initiative, it is designed to handle
inmates from medium- to maximum-security in 16 dormitories and 100
cells. Due to the facility being on the water, a minimum of three
maritime crew is maintained under Coast Guard regulations.
