Looking for a jail set in New York City? Then you need to see this large exposed brick studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The studio has a pre-built jail set rental that comes with two 8-foot by 6-foot cells and cots and a small prison-style common area with a payphone prop.

All basic studio rentals here come with lots of additional amenities, like a black or white exposed brick wall, colored gels, and the use of a makeup station. This venue’s host also offers you additional add-on services, like the use of extra sets, a smoke machine, a green screen, and lighting equipment.

As one reviewer who booked a production here described it, “My crew and I had a great experience at this industrial studio. Joe’s customer service is top notch and an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this space if anyone is looking for prebuilt sets. It’s an extraordinary creative space.”

Located in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, this jail set is in fact an early 1900s-inspired jailhouse. It comes with tons of rooms, not just one: four jail cells, an interrogation room, a detective office, a guard post, and open spaces for set dressing. There is also a freight elevator and a dressing room for your crew and talent to utilize.

Although it does have a turn-of-the-century feel, the host invites you to dress up the space to suit your project’s time period. It’s an ideal location for a film shoot, music video, production, or feature film. In fact, whatever your project, you’re likely to make it work here!

One reviewer who booked a video shoot here described his experience as follows: “Incredible place, so many possibilities with the sets they offer. Warren was super easy to work with and we will definitely be back. The jail was incredible for a storyline based production, lots of different backdrops packed into one space”. What a top-notch filming location!

Looking for a jail cell set with a little something extra to add to your production? Then you need to see the jail sets at this 2,000-square-foot studio in Maywood, California, just 8 miles from downtown Los Angeles.

The four jail cells consist of concrete floors and walls and real metal bars and pipes. You can use the three single beds one double bed, stainless steel sinks, and the toilets that actually came from real prison in Tennessee!

Recently built in June 2018, this jail set is just one of more than 20 sets that the hosts have available for rental, including a courtroom, police station, hospital, classroom, kitchen, office, and many more. And such a high-quality, big-budget-looking filming location is a total steal at about $300 an hour.

“The jail set was more impressive in person and very well decorated,” shares a Peerspace reviewer. “There were hand cuff props available to use as well as a fake phone to make phone calls. Would book again and check out one of their many other sets on site. Really cool place and great host.”
