Abstract
The article focuses on Ireland's most notorious prison and stone fortress that must have struck a jarring contrast to the colorful rows of Victorian architecture that lined the streets of the town. It mentions While Spike Island did house hardened criminals and political prisoners and bioarchaeologist Barra O'Donnabhain began a project in 2013 that included not only excavations at various sites across the island. It also mentions deplorable living conditions, and institutional racism.
