Я бы экстази хапнул. Их 88 видов таблеток! Я просматривал эти прейскуранты в шестом отделе сидел когда. Там у них такая табличка есть, можно посмотреть почитать. Че, какой приход, от какой таблетки

Is this some aspect of Russian life that I'm not aware of?

Explanation:
"Вятский Наблюдатель". Hомер 52 за декабрь 2001 года. Рубрика - Политика.
"шестого" отдела (так раньше назывался УБОП) называют начальника
отдела по борьбе с незаконным оборотом наркотиков Николая Кощеева.
www.nabludatel.ru/numers/2001/52/17.htm

Валерия Подорожнова. "Жизнь по ту сторону отчаяния" - Российская Газета
Раньше Игорь Ефимов работал в так называемом шестом отделе милиции - тот самом, который боролся со сбытом наркотиков.
Обычно, как утверждает адвокат, его клиентам наркотики подбрасывают.
www.rg.ru/2003/12/02/Jizn.html

Оперативниками Шестого отдела Управления спецслужбы милиции при ГУВД Санкт-Петербурга и Ленинградской области 31 июля в ходе операции "Мак 2001", при реализации полученных ранее сведений в квартире дома по Караваевской улице был задержан 29-летний петербуржец, подозреваемый в торговле героином.

I sppose when the guy was inside he was brought to questioning to that "шестой отдел" (which I think is well-known to all drug users and people who are working with them) where he was shown some materials including the mentioned ecstasy "catalogue".

Explanation:
Combination "сидел в отделении" in Russian unambigously referres to being detained in the police department (#6 in this case). Of course, any other department (like, of a hospital, or of an institute) can also be called "отделение", but even when you speak about sitting in a line in, say, department of travma service, you say "сидел я в очереди, в отделении травматологии".
These departments are usually district-based, in larger cities there is a number of them per district. There is a small detention cell (or several, for up to three days. Never new they were also providing some extra education free of charge, though :)
