I am also surprised to know that a whole town came into form with prisoners. I have heard these kind of stories about different regions in the world( not sure)
Well, these prisoners will always remind you of your wonderful trip( which yet I have to check ๐) - soon I will check "End of the World Train".

Hmmmm, that's an interesting thing ๐ I cannot deny any thing to eat.
I'm sure there are other places with similar stories... it's interesting but rare ๐ .
