Talk:Devil's Island
From Academic Kids
I looked up the subject 'Devil's Island'due to a suggestion by a fellow poster on a message board who thought a prison island for sexual predators would be beneficial.It would be more accurate to say that she mused on this possibility in moments of exasperation in how the legal system handles or fails to handle such felons.
I suggested that the US bury the hatchet with France on a possible purchase of the island if they still owned it-which is doubtful.The island for incarceration hasn't been used since 1946--but more intriguing to me is what does anyone who lays claim to this tropical island use it for now?I haven't heard of any tourists clamoring to go there to see a museum ,and learn of the island's dark past-but that's a possibility.
I'm still searching for information on whoever owns the infamous island now.
