“As you round the bend headed to the shoreline, the crumbling silhouettes of old prison structures rise against the backdrop of waves. You feel drawn to the secrets of redemption and isolation, wondering about the voices that once filled these halls.”
Once a federal prison, this isolated island is rich with stories of Native American history and the struggles of incarceration. Today, you can explore remnants of the old prison intertwined with the natural landscape, while reflecting on the complexities of justice and community.
