This is from a few years ago at the "old" Bronx Courthouse. When I was there last, there were plans to turn it into an urban mall. Don't know if that happened yet or not.
When my father was a teenager, he was arrested for climbing over the fence at the Bronx Zoo (on an off day) and brought here and held for a few hours. He tells me that when he came out - he was greeted by his friends who considered him a hero - first one to be arrested in their group. He went on from this to fight in WWII and become a professor - but his eyes still light up when he tells the story of his "day in the Bronx pen."
