Detention center

"Phoenix Wright"

- Smile. You're on candid camera.

The "detention center" is where most suspects and criminals are held in Los Angeles. Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice visit their clients here. Phoenix Wright first went to the detention center to visit Maya Fey when her sister Mia Fey was murdered. Apollo Justice first went to the detention center to visit Wocky Kitaki.

When visiting his clients, Wright often wondered if the guard in the room was bored, but had no way of telling since he seldom paid the defense attorney any attention. When Justice visits his clients, he often wonders whether the guard in the room is even breathing. A security camera is the only other examinable object in the room, which Wright and Justice have thought is watching them.

It is not uncommon for Justice, as it was for Wright, to arrive at the detention center only to find his client is away being questioned.

Morgan Fey
After Morgan Fey was transferred out of Solitary Cell 13, Dick Gumshoe mentioned that Fey was being held at the "detention center", which may have been a reference to this detention center. She is briefly shown in Bridge to the Turnabout, but her location is not stated or shown.
