You may have heard of this:
Former “sheriff of the year” arrested and sent to jail named after him
I’d be interested to see a list of similar situations, where a person has some kind of law enforcement facility (jail, prison, courthouse, etc) named after them, then they are eventually judged/incarcerated there. This can’t be the first.
Almost exactly the reverse situation, but worth a mention: Charles Voyde Harrelson (Woody’s dad) was tried and sentenced for the murder of a federal judge in the John H. Wood federal courthouse, named after the federal judge he murdered.
Weird. A good example of why you don’t name anything after public figures until they are safely dead, or at least permanently retired.
Are they going to keep his name?
elizabeth bathory was sentenced to permanent house arrest in csejte castle but can correctly be referred to as bathory castle?
The closest I can think of is that Joseph Guillotin was one of the first people put to death via Guillotine the device he invented for humane executions.
That was a different Dr. Guillotin:
[QUOTE=Wikipedia]
By coincidence, a person named Guillotin was indeed executed by the guillotine – he was J.M.V. Guillotin, a doctor of Lyons. This coincidence may have contributed to erroneous statements that Guillotin was put to death on the machine that bears his name; however, in reality, Guillotin died in Paris in 1814 of natural causes, and is now buried in the Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

I don’t know about law enforcement facilities, but Villanova University’s arena was named the John Eluther DuPont Pavilion, until said individual murdered one of his servants.
In NYC did Bernie Kerik end up at least briefly in the Bernard B. Kerik Complex, as The Tombs was named at the time?
Not named for them, but the inventor who made the Brazen bull was roasted in it until almost dead (and was then killed the rest of the way), and the king who used it for executions was himself executed in it.
Not quite what the OP asked for, but still a case of political irony. Samuel Johnson, the father of President Lyndon Johnson, had served in the Texas legislature. One of the things he pushed was highway building. But the Johnson farm went bankrupt and Johnson left office. He ended up taking a job on a road crew to help build one of the highways he had authorized as a legislator.
That’s not irony, it’s uncannily insightful career planning. 
Lots of legislators push for public works projects at least partially for the jobs they create, but not many end up in the “the [del]life[/del] job you save may be your own” scenario. 
It would be irony if Sam Johnson had opposed as a legislator the highways he ended up working on.
I was looking at it more in the “look at how the mighty have fallen” sense.
If you’re going to consider it an example of insightful post-political career planning, then you could regard a politician being locked up in a prison he founded as being an example of a clever retirement housing plan.
Saddam Hussein’s arraignment was presided over a judge that was appointed by Saddam Hussein. Saddam even asked the judge point black if he appointed and the judge confirmed it.
Before clicking on that link I was really hoping it would turn out to be, through some unusual poetic justice, Joe Arpaio.
That was my first thought, but I can’t find any confirmation of it. Either the facility was renamed when he first got into trouble, and/or he was never housed there.
William Tweed, NYC’s notorious 19th century Tammany Hall political party boss, played fast an loose with the city’s finances, bilking the treasury of millions of dollars. One of the largest and most visible municipal projects that Tweed turned into a money mill for himself and his cronies was the construction of the New York County Courthouse that he had built on Chambers Street, within a stone’s throw of City Hall.
In the 1870s, when reformers acquired evidence of the boss’ wrongdoings, he was arrested and tried in the very courthouse that was the source of many of the charges levied against him!
The building, which is no longer a courthouse (it houses the NYC Department of Education) has been universally referred to by NYers as “The Tweed Courthouse” since as long as any living NYer can remember, and probably since soon after the Tweed Scandals first broke. Well, when they gave the building a massive renovation and restoration in the 1990s that designation was literally “carved in stone” on the side of the building (along with it’s original designation as the “New York County Courthouse.”)
He did not invent the device. He only suggested that it should be adopted as the universal method of execution. Previously a variety of methods was used, including hanging, garotte, beheading by sword or axe, and the head-chopper. Dr Guillotin chose the head-chopper as the quickest and least painful of all the available methods. He had no part at all in the design of the machine.
He didn’t die on the device either, as was pointed out earlier.
There is a legend that King Louis XVI himself suggested certain improvements to the design of the device. This is also untrue.
