Unofficially known as the Brave Cave, lacking any official documented name, is a former inmate processing center, and more recently off-site interrogation facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana that had been run by the Baton Rouge Police Department's street-crime squad, Brave (Baton Rouge Area Violence Elimination) until August 2023.[1] It has been described by some as having been a 'black site' or 'torture warehouse', where detainees were held off the books and could be coerced into providing information or capitulation, beaten, or subjected to extensive cavity/strip searches.[2][3][4] The facility came to the national forefront in 2023 following the widely publicized lawsuits of Jeremy Lee and Ternell Brown, who had been held at the facility in separate, unrelated incidents. It is currently being reviewed by the FBI as the result of a civil rights investigation into lawsuits stemming from the facility.[5][6] The Deputy Chief along with other BRPD officials have insisted that the now defunct facility was never a cause for concern and not covert by nature.[7]
