The Twin Towers Correctional Facility, also referred to in the media as Twin Towers Jail, is a complex erected in Los Angeles, California. The facility is located at 450 Bauchet Street, in Los Angeles, California and is operated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The facility consists of two towers, a medical services building, and the Los Angeles County Medical Center Jail Ward.The 1.5 million square foot (140,000 m²) complex was opened in 1997, though it remained empty for a period prior to opening because of lack of operating funds. During that time, the deputy sheriffs had to prevent people from breaking in. It was authorized and constructed after the Northridge earthquake damaged the historic Hall of Justice at 210 West Temple Street in Los Angeles. Security at the facility centers on a panoptic design that allows deputies and officers in a central control room to look through secure optical material to see into all areas of the facility.ConcernsDespite the state-of-the-art security systems built into the jail, inmate Kevin Jerome Pullum walked out of an employee exit on July 6, 2001, two hours after being convicted of attempted murder, and remained at large for eighteen days before he was apprehended within a mile of the jail. Pullum used a newspaper photograph of actor Eddie Murphy to alter an identification badge he used in the escape. The attempt makes Pullum the 13th person to escape the facility.
~~~Welcome to Solano Canyon, founded in 1866. The founding of the Solano Canyon community was when Francisco Solano, a native of Costa Rica, bought 86 acres of land in 1866 from the City of Los Angeles. Solano, a butcher, had a meat-packing business downtown, just north of the Plaza Church on Main Street. Within a few years, he built an adobe on the watercourse between present-day Solano Avenue and Casanova Street and moved both his family and his business to the Canyon. Solano and his wife, Rosa Casanova, also from Costa Rica, raised six children here. Much of the Solano property was subdivided after the deaths of Francisco and Rosa by their son, Los Angeles City and County Surveyor Alfredo Solano, and, from 1888 forward, the community grew rapidly. The original Solano property extended from present-day North Broadway nearly to the Police Academy, and from Elysian Park to Sulphur Ravine.
