The Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center is seen docked in the Bronx borough of New York, Monday, Oct. 16, 2023. It arrived in 1992 as a temporary measure to ease overcrowding on Rikers Island, the city's main jail complex for detainees awaiting trial. Three decades later, the 800-bed lockup – believed to be the last operating prison ship in the United States — is finally closing down. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File)
