Pelican Bay State Prison
Pelican Bay State Prison (PBSP) is a supermax California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation state prison in Crescent City, California. The 275-acre (111 ha) facility is explicitly designed to keep California's alleged "worst of the worst" prisoners in long-term solitary confinement. It takes its name from an eponymous shallow bay on the Pacific coast, about 2 miles (3 km) to the west.
