Overview

Island has a beautiful 110m sandy beach, indigenous as well as introduced vegetation and a natural tidal pool. Prison Island was formerly intended for private use as a place of detention for recalcitrant slaves but latter General Lloyd Mathews bought it and the gaol, which still stands, was built in 1893, as a central prison for Zanzibar, hence the name “PRISON ISLAND”
