Unit J is a small cell block in Oswald State Correctional Facility.
Unit Information[]
Unit J is not mentioned or seen in the show until the fourth season, when undercover cop Johnny Basil confesses the murder of Det. Bruno Goergen, convicted and sent to Unit J.
Unit J is a unit that was originally built for police officers who were convicted, so that inmates won't harm them. During the show, it is also used as some kind of Protective Custody, because it is isolated from the other prison, and inmates that are not cops stay there when they are afraid that other inmates will hurt them.
