McNeil Island Correctional Facility

McNeil Island Correctional Facility
McNeil Island, Washington (WA), US
This island in the Carr Inlet serves as a 20 square mile penal colony. Since 1875, a number of prison complexes have been built on the island, including a maximum security prison on the shore closest to Tacoma, and a minimum security annex, which houses the "Work Ethic Camp." Some of the grounds of McNeil are used as a cattle farm for prison work programs. There are no industries or residences on the island unrelated to the correctional programs.
