The Liberty Island Detention Center is a high-security federal penitentiary constructed in 2014 to house indicted war criminals in the wake of the Second American Civil War. The location was chosen as a symbolic representation of the death of the concept of liberty under President Mitchell's administration and the destruction of the Statue of Liberty during the civil war. The facility is a primarily subterranean structure built into the pedestal of the former Statue of Liberty and maintenance tunnels beneath Liberty Island, surrounded by a 20 foot high concrete wall with a double gate entrance. Travel on and off the island is prohibited, except for federal agents with express clearance to go on and off the island. The exact number of holding cells and the nature of security on the island is unknown to the general public. Since December 2019 the prison facility is no longer utilized and the Department of Homeland Security keeps only a skeleton crew active on-site.
