The Ralston town jail has become a necessary part of the island. The Jail is located on the east side, far from the populated area. The jail in recent years has held tourists who stepped out of line. Many of these tourists got too drunk on the local alcohol. The jail consists of 30 rooms that can hold 2 people each, bringing the count to a maximum population of 60 if need be, though it has never hit that number. The current warden of the jail believes that inmates should not be punished too hard. Because of this belief, the jail has more in common with the jails in Sweden than with the rest of the United States of America. The jail has a 9-star rating with many inmates wishing they could return compared to the Burlington jail. Currently, with the local murder on the streets, this is the place that he or she will end up spending the rest of their life.
Personally, I cannot think of a better place to live out your life sentence.
