Have you heard of Attica? How about Sing Sing? Yes, those are 2 of the most famous prisons in the State of New York.

Now, have you heard about the New York State Prison that is a barge?

Here's their page: Prison Barge Vernon C. Bain

I wonder if when the weather is bad (storm etc.) if it rocks a lil ? Cuz if you're someone that gets seasick then, you're outta luck. Cool construction though.

I just wish that IMF rapist had gotten to stay at the lovely and genteel Riker's Island a little bit longer than he did. Instead he gets to stay at his daughter's apartment in Manhattan with a guard. Money buys you many things.

One place I would not want to be is Riker's Island!!!

Yes, I've heard of Attica and remember the riot from my childhood!!

They need to be careful using a barge to house inmates back in Belfast many years ago they used a prison ship and the guys on board used to feed a seal and in coming to get fed the seal widened the wire around the ship leading to the escape of 7 inmates,
