[Music] Boats, they're like planes for if the sky was wet. Now, normally boats are for taking people to places they want to go, but sometimes boats are for keeping people in a place they don't want to be. And it's in that spirit that I introduce you to New York's hottest prison barge, the Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center. And when I say hottest, I mean that it's stiflingly hot in the barge because of overcrowding and poor ventilation. Also called the boat because apparently we live in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Vernon Seabane Correctional Center is an 800-bed jail barge that was named, quote, the world's largest prison barge by Guinness World Records in 2014 because apparently Guinness has decided to go really dark in recent years. Now, prison ships have a long history, mainly traced back to 18th century Britain where they use boats to contain both British criminals and American prisoners of War. During the Revolution, one fun fact is that more Americans died on British

prison ships than in battles because they got really seasick, and also regular sick, and also starved. Another fun fact is that prison ships have been used in 19th century Australia, by Nazi Germany, and in the modern era by both Chile and the Philippines to hold political prisoners. And a final fun fact is that in seemingly most instances throughout history, prison ships have had high death rates due to heat, overcrowding, and disease. So how did New York City end up with the world's second most depressing cruise ship? Well, you see, back in the 1980s, New York City was seeing its prison population boom for totally chill, normal, non-problematic reasons. So New York mayor and honorary fourth Stooge at Coke decided that instead of putting fewer people in prison, we needed to of course build more prisons. The problem was, people might not want new prisons built in the neighborhoods where they live, but you know where nobody lives? The East River. So they put the prisons there instead, bringing in two former British prison ships called Bibby Resolution and Bibby

Venture, because who says you can't give a horrific thing a silly name, converting two Staten Island ferries into prisons, which was easy as they were already gateways to Staten Island, which is essentially a prison, and commissioning the building of the Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center from Avondale Shipyard, all while not realizing or willfully ignoring the historical parallels of forcibly putting a group of disproportionately black men onto a ship. In 1992, 18 months late, $10.35 million dollars of her budget, the Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center was towed 1800 nautical miles by Tugboat from Louisiana, entering through the Long Island Sound and being dumped off the shore of the not yet gentrified Hunts Point, basically because it was the place that did the least protesting when they tried to put it there. The boat consists of five stories with 16 dormitories and 100 cells and can house up to 870 inmates. On the top level, it's got a full gym with a

basketball court and weights. There are three chapels, a medical facility, and a library, although none of these amenities have seemed to convince the inmates to stay aboard. Their all expenses is paid Crews. There have been several attempted escapes, including one where the escapee had to be fished out of the East River by police watercraft. Apparently, for the first decade of operation, the Coast Guard monitored the barge until 2002 when, according to the boat's first Captain John Klump, the Coast Guard finally accepted the reality that it was de facto a jail and not a boat, a quote that comes from John Klum's very real book, An Ordinary Guy, An Extraordinary Tale: My Life and Times. Now, while it's interesting that there's a giant floating prison in New York City, what's arguably more interesting is why is there still a giant floating prison in New York City? Because the thing about the boat is that it sucks, like a lot, like more than a prison is typically supposed to suck. And it was brought in

as a supposedly temporary measure 30 years ago, back in the late 80s when the boat was ordered, the daily prison population at Rikers Island was 22,000. At capacity and expected to grow. But by 1995, New York City's prison populations had decreased and Bane was actually closed. Good news lasted about one year until then Mayer and now star 4 at 2, Rudy Giuliani, implemented an extensive plan to jail more drug buyers and dealers, and prisons filled back thanks to America's mayor. But since 2000, prison populations in New York City have been steadily declining and now sit at around 5,500 daily prisoners, one quarter of the number in 1989 that necessitated building Vernon C. Bain Correctional. While officials have long discussed closing pain as well as Rikers, for a long time nothing was done largely because closing prisons is a relatively difficult thing to do, and because New York has a long history of temporary things becoming permanent just look at sidewalk sheds or the Wall Street bowl.

or having mayors that suck, all supposedly temporary, yet they've all lasted for decades. In October of 2019, though, the New York City Council voted to close both Bain and Rikers by 2026, replacing them with a smaller burrow-based prison system that the city says will be, quote, built on a foundation of dignity and respect, which admittedly does seem better than the current system, which is built on a foundation of a landfill. But none of that is important. Do you want to know what is important? Half as Interesting has filmed a live-action adventure game show where I run around the country across 72 hours committing crimes, and my writers chase after me in an attempt to stop me. It's called Half as Interesting Crimes for You, and the first episode will be up on February 16th, in two weeks. And while I don't have time to show the teaser trailer again, I do want you to check out the title sequence. And the only way to see the incredible series that comes after that title

sequence is on Nebula, the streaming site built by me and all my Creator friends. The best way to get Nebula is with the absurdly low-priced Nebula curiosity stream bundle.

Why There is a Giant Floating Prison In New York City

Half as Interesting

감옥선은 18세기부터 수감자들을 가혹한 환경에 가두는 데 사용되어 왔으며, 이로 인해 사망률이 높은 경우가 많았습니다.

'교도소 바지선'으로도 알려진 버논 C.

베인 교도소는 세계에서 가장 큰 교도소 바지선이라는 타이틀을 가지고 있으며, 과밀 수용과 열악한 환기로 인해 극심한 더위를 유발하는 것으로 악명이 높습니다.

1980년대에 뉴욕시는 급증하는 수감 인구를 수용하기 위해 버논 C.

베인 교정 센터를 포함한 교도소 선박을 이용했는데, 수감자 증가의 근본 원인을 해결하기보다는 주거 지역이 부족하다는 이유로 이스트 강에 교도소를 배치하는 방법을 선택했습니다.

스태튼 아일랜드 페리 두 척이 교도소로 개조되었고, 버논 C.

베인 교정 센터는 아본데일 조선소를 개조하여 지어졌습니다.

뉴욕시에 위치한 이 수상 교도소는 최대 870명의 수감자를 수용할 수 있으며 체육관, 예배당, 도서관 등의 편의시설을 갖추고 있습니다.

독특한 디자인에도 불구하고 이 시설은 탈옥 시도와 재소자들의 불만에 직면하여 계속 존속 여부에 대한 의문이 제기되고 있습니다.

라이커스 섬 교도소 인구의 역사

라이커스 아일랜드의 일일 수감자 수는 80년대 후반에 22,000명으로 정점을 찍었지만 이후 꾸준히 감소하여 현재는 약 5,500명으로 줄었습니다.

1996년 교도소가 폐쇄되었다가 마약 범죄자 수감 확대 계획으로 인해 다시 문을 열었습니다.

그러나 뉴욕 시의회는 2026년까지 라이커스 아일랜드와 베인 교도소를 폐쇄하고 새로운 교도소 시스템으로 대체하기로 결정했습니다.
