- The Tombs is the colloquial name for the Manhattan Detention Complex (formerly the Bernard B. Kerik Complex), a municipal jail in Lower Manhattan at 125 White Street, and also the nickname for three previous city-run jails in the former Five Points neighborhood of lower Manhattan, an area now known as the Civic Center. The original Tombs was officially known as the Halls of Justice, built in 1838 in the Egyptian Revival architectural style. It was a replacement for the Colonial-era Bridewell Prison located in City Hall Park, built in 1735 and demolished in 1838. The new structure incorporated material, mainly granite, from the Bridewell to save money. The four buildings known as The Tombs were:
* 1838–1902, New York City Halls of Justice and House of Detention
* 1902–1941, City Prison
* 1941–1974, Manhattan House of Detention
* 1983–present, Manhattan Detention Complex (known as the Bernard B. Kerik Complex from 2001 to 2006) (en)
