There are other prisons in other cities, Metropolis can't be that far . . . although I don't know enough about the criminal justice system, is it wrong to jail someone out of state for non-federal crimes? If so, how is The Slab, which is the meta-metacrime prison (meaning it's supposedly for criminals from those places that aren't set up for metacriminals), justified?

Or are all metacrimes federal.
