Photograph dated October 16, 1966.Lincoln Heights Jail is a reportedly haunted former jail building in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It closed in 1965. In 1951, the unprovoked beating of seven prisoners occurred in the prison on what came to be known as "Bloody Christmas". The novel L.A. Confidential and subsequent film, part of which was filmed there, was inspired by the incident.From 1979 until 2014, the building was the home of the Bilingual Foundation of the Arts. In addition to LA Confidential, it has been used as a set in other films. The 1984 horror movie Nightmare on Elm Street filmed the boiler room scenes here.
