Rikers Island

Rikers Island is a major island in New York City's East River within the borders of the borough of the Bronx. Originally a much smaller island, it was quadrupled in size via landfill and became home to the city's primary jail facility, which is one of the largest prison complexes on Earth. As a legal quirk, it is not considered a prison under United States law, as it is only used for temporary criminal holding pending transfer and for convicts serving prison sentences of one year or less. As of 2019, Rikers Island's jails are preparing to close before 2027 in response to a decline in the city's crime rate, but are still in operation until then.

In Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II, the is being held at Rikers Island after the events of the first mini-series.
