This is just another shot of the island from the ferry, but I like it because you can see a lot of the buildings. The big building at the top of the island is the main cell block.
This is the building right on the dock where they would unload all prisoners... people such as Al Capone... cool huh? This building was first built by the military to be a bomb resistant shelter. But as the military weapons progressed, the shelter became not to bomb-proof. The rooms at the top were added later to act as apartments for the guards and their families to stay in.
The tower behind me was where the guards would have to sit all day to watch the island.
