Which Brooklyn Neighborhoods Send the Most Residents to Jail?
Brownsville
Last year, residents from Brownsville zip codes 11212 and 11207 were the most likely of any to land in the prison system, with 3,800. The neighborhood also routinely earns the dubious superlative of “highest murder rate” in the city, and earlier this fall was the recipient of a $600,000 grant from the Brooklyn D.A.’s office for the Brownsville Anti-Violence Project Initiative.
