Back in 1929, the Cook County Courthouse opened to a generally positive reception. Its sheer size and design were an architectural feat, and people were initially pleased to have a prison removed from the city. Furthermore, the courthouse had a positive impact on the presence of criminal justice in Chicago, contributing to the trials and arrests of many notorious mobsters and corrupt politicians during the prohibition era. This included Al Capone, who on May of 1929 was arrested for a weapons charge and sentenced to a year in the Cook County Jail. And in 1931, shortly after his release, he received an 11-year prison sentence for tax evasion. But beyond these well-received successes, the courthouse has also been subject to a long history of strong controversy and harsh criticism.
