EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tombs: A Symbol of New York's Criminal Justice History This evocative photograph captures the imposing facade of The Tombs, the colloquial name for the Manhattan Detention Complex in Lower Manhattan, New York. Built around 1900, this structure, located at 125 White Street, is a testament to the city's rich and complex criminal justice history. Originally known as the Bernard B. Kerik Complex, The Tombs has replaced several preceding downtown jails, the first of which was built in 1838 in the Egyptian Revival style of architecture. The name "The Tombs" comes from the old English word "tombe," meaning a burial place or tomb. Over the years, it has become a symbol of the city's criminal underworld and the harsh realities of incarceration. The Tombs has housed numerous infamous criminals, including mobsters, gangsters, and political figures. Its imposing walls and fortress-like appearance have long instilled fear and awe in the public. Despite its ominous reputation, the jail has also been the subject of numerous works of art and literature, reflecting the complex and often contradictory nature of New York City's criminal justice system. This photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of New York City's criminal justice system and the iconic symbol that is The Tombs.
