Alligator Alcatraz? Here’s the Reality

Social media sometimes refers to "Alligator Alcatraz" near Doral. This nickname describes a novelty attraction off NW 41st Street—not Metro West Detention Center. LASD confirmed on Miami-Dade Corrections’ official Facebook page that Metro West remains a secure corrections facility operated by sworn officers. If you are driving to Metro West, use the jail’s official address and look for sheriff signage on campus.
