The Criminal Courts Building has a three-storey-tall entrance. The building also houses the Night Court as well as the Manhattan Detention Center for Men, which was formerly located across the street in the building called The Tombs.

An aerial walkway, called the "Bridge of Sighs", links the courthouse with the prison across Centre Street.
