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.Since 1979 the building has been the home of the Bilingual Foundation of the Arts.
