This would allow the prison to be relatively close to a support population while not really putting it in anyone's back yard. I'm sure the Sierra Club would have a thing or two to say about developing the island though. But just think of it, our very own Alcatraz

Why not put it on the southern end of Antelope Island and rebuild the causeway to the south side of the island.
They may have to repurpose some government land.
Benefits:
- can greatly reduce the financial commitment of acquiring land
- still provides decent access for visitors, employees, volunteers, etc.
- keeps it out of any "prime developable" land FOREVER
- provides a much larger perimeter for security purposes
In fact, I've moved both of them to "Unicorn Point" already...
