Named for a well-respected warden who died in a car accident, the Vernon C. Bain Center is currently used by the New York City Department of Corrections as a temporary holding and processing center. It was built to take on the overflow of detainees from Rikers Island, and can house approximately 800 medium-to maximum-security inmates. Additionally, the 5-story barge also contains a library, recreation rooms, three chapels, a medical facility, and a basketball court on the top deck. As such, it was named the largest operational prison ship in the world in 2014. https://untappedcities.com/2018/02/26/daily-what-theres-a-floating-barge-prison-in-the-east-river/
