There is definitely some confusion over what our heroes are talking about when they talk about "the Jail". Remember, this is LA! The LA County Sheriff's Department runs the largest jail system of any local government in the United States, including 9 facilities that are as big as any prison.

My best guess as to the "jail" that the soldiers went to is located in downtown LA, near Union Station. It's actually two seperate facilities, located next to one-another, the "Men's Central Jail" and the "Twin Towers Correctional Facility". These are where "celebrity" prisoners are generally held while they are going through trial at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, where the O.J. trial was held. O.J. was housed at the Men's Central Jail.
