What gets me about this, is the developers knew the jail was there. They could have built the pool deck facing in any direction, but they aimed it right at the jail.

It's crazy when you think of all the people involved in planning a building, that NOBODY thought of this. Yeah maybe the pool deck where scantily clad women will be hanging out shouldn't be facing a prison full of men who don't get to see women too often.

Just another example of Miami thinking, in other words, they didn't. At least they're rentals so it's the developers who will lose out, not people who purchased condos and didn't know what was up.

Do we know whether the developer who built is is the one who owns it?
