Federal Penal Colony Proposed for Rat Islands Off Alaska
Local army officer C A Secand urged Attorney General Cummings to consider a federal penal colony on the Rat Islands in the Aleutians. The plan argues isolation eliminates guards and parole, with the remote 1000 square mile chain lying 1000 miles from the mainland and 2000 miles from Hawaii. Reports say the uninhabited islands could support blue foxes and farming, while offering a climate where temperatures average 39 in winter and 54 in summer.
