Inmates
The facility never housed more than six women. They were officially labeled "high risk," though none of them was convicted of a "violent" act while in prison. Some of them were chosen because of their radical political beliefs:
- Marie Haydée Beltrán Torres: Puerto Rican activist indicted for the 1977 bombing of the Mobil Oil Building in Manhattan.
- Silvia Baraldini: She was active in both the Black Power and Puerto Rican independence movements in the United States in the 1960s thru 1980s.
- Susan Rosenberg: A former member of the weather underground (sentence commuted by presidential order in 2001).
- Alejandrina Torres: A former member of FALN (granted clemency by President Clinton in 1999).
