Anna M. Kross Center (AMKC)

The Anna M. Kross Center (AMKC) sits in Flushing as one of the city’s larger penal facilities. AMKC handles intake, classification, and short-term detention primarily in Queens. Security units and medical screening operate on-site; visits require prior clearance. Family and legal contacts remain essential links to detainees during processing.

The facility occupies the full block bounded by Hazen, Elder, and 163rd Streets in Flushing, 1616 Hazen St. Buses along Main St and Prince St stop within a few blocks, and parking is usually tight before hearings. Identify the main entrance and follow posted signs.

For official updates or scheduling, call (718) 546-1500. A route map and entrance checklist are available on the AMKC Google listing—check before you travel.
