My day job requires routine trips to the Shelby County Justice Center (more commonly known as the Criminal Justice Center or 201 Poplar). It was also known as the "glamour slammer" when it opened in the early 1980's. I suppose that's because it was pretty nice for a criminal court/jail complex. The 12 story building also houses the Memphis Police Department, Shelby County Sheriff's Office, DA's Office, and multiple other law enforcement-related offices.
One interesting aspect of the building is that it was built around an existing church. There is also a heliport on the roof.
