As a result of a fire at the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn on Sunday January 27, 2019, a partial power outage at the West Building lasted a full week, until Sunday, February 3, 2019. The outage affected lighting in housing areas, computers, phones, and other institution systems and equipment.
