Visit the prison

The prison was erected by Lloyd Mathews in 1893. The plan for the prison was to transport violent offenders from Tanganyika’s mainland to Prison Island. Instead of being a prison, the Prison Island ended up being used as a quarantine facility for yellow fever epidemics that once ravaged the area. The government continued to control Prison Island, and it turned the more recent quarantine structures into a guest house.
