The fail jail, a half-built Wayne County jail just outside of downtown Detroit has sat unfinished for more than a year. But now a proposal to finish it has downtown Detroit real estate mogul Dan Gilbert up in arms. Let it fail to jail! he insists. Gilbert offered to buy the land for $50M to build a hotel/housing/retail complex. There will be a preliminary vote on resuming jail construction tomorrow.
