"Honduras plans to build the only island prison colony in the Western hemisphere and send its most-feared gangsters there, tearing a page from neighbouring El Salvador’s unforgiving approach to murder, robbery, rape and extortion."

Honduras’s progressive president once promised to address gang violence through systemic reforms to governance and the criminal justice system."

"Now, President Xiomara Castro plans to build an isolated prison for 2,000 gang leaders on the Islas del Cisne archipelago 250km (155 miles) off the coast, part of a larger crackdown following the gang-related massacre of 46 women in one prison."

"Island prisons once were common across Latin America, with facilities in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama and Peru. Deadly riots, brutal conditions and bold prison escapes captured filmmakers’ and authors’ imaginations before the last island prison closed in Mexico in 2019".

It's 155 miles off shore.
That made me think of Jack LaLanne!

-1955, age 41: Swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman’s Wharf—a distance of 1.23 miles—while handcuffed

-1958, age 44: Paddle boarded nonstop for nine-and-a-half hours—a 30-mile trip.

The prisoners would be completely cut off from the outside world. No phone calls, no visitors.
