do want had a specific place for hold actors, like a dressing room, tent or something but there is plenty of bathrooms. The jail was so funny because it is worse in person but looks great on camera. Some notes I have is getting the big chair upstairs fixed. We...

Los Angeles Prison Standing Set Jail Cell Set Filming Location with 20 Different Sets Available
Host was very nice and accommodating. The jail set was more impressive in person and very well decorated. There were hand cuff props available to use as well as a fake phone to make phone calls. Would book again and check out one of their many other sets on site...

nicest hosts on this shoot! The space was perfect - just what we needed and we discovered his second set a few feet away - a jail cell that is the most realistic I've seen out there. Definitely want to utilize that one in the future...

very communicative on the day of my shoot and made sure there was an onsite location manager to help with anything you need. The Jail set is definitely smaller than the pics make it look but because I read other Reviews I was properly prepared for that as well...
