The "detention center" is the main area in the prison for holding most suspects in Los Angeles, and is directly connected with the prison itself. Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice and Gregory Edgeworth visit their clients in the Visitor's Room.

Wright first went to the detention center to visit Maya Fey when she was accused of murdering her sister Mia Fey,Justice's first visit to the detention center was to visit Wocky Kitaki, and Athena Cykes [[turnabout academy]first visit] was to see [[Jupiner Woods] Although visitation is usually limited to a suspect's defense attorney and closely-related individuals, prosecutors have access to all prisoners via the visitor's room. Marī Miwa was the prison's director for a few years until April 6, 2019.

Features

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. However, unlike with Wright, the guard does actually talk to Justice on occasion. A security camera is the only other examinable object in the room, which Wright and Justice have each thought to be 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.

Visiting hours are typically from 9:00 to 16:00, but lawyers have been allowed to meet their clients until 19:00. People who enter the detention center are checked by metal detectors. Aside from the standard meals for suspects, additional food from the menu can be delivered if they pay with their own money. The first meal of the day is determined by shaking dice.

The rules for detainees while meeting with a visitor seem rather lax, despite the presence of a guard, as on multiple occasions, detainees and visitors have been allowed to freely exchange objects without intervention. Not even the drastic physical changes caused by a member of the Fey clan performing the Kurain Channeling Technique have drawn so much as a comment from the guard.

Visits by prosecutors

Godot and Miles Edgeworth have also visited the detention center. The former used such visits to keep an eye on Morgan Fey after she was moved from Solitary Cell 13, whereby he learned of her second plot to kill Maya Fey. Edgeworth, on the other hand, once visited to observe Wright conversing with this client Matt Engarde, another to meet with Iris when he briefly took over one of Wright's cases, and used another visit to talk to Manosuke Naitō.

When Maya Fey was accused of murder for the second time, Franziska von Karma set up hidden cameras in the detention center to take photographs of Maya channeling Mia. She went on the use these pictures to prove the existence of the Kurain Channeling Technique in court.

Other language versions

In the Japanese language version, the detainees are usually issued typical Japanese food (such as miso soup and salted salmon) to eat.
