Bay State

As title cards inform viewers at the start of the film, Pelican Bay State Prison’s Security Housing Unit once held hundreds of inmates for more than a decade.

Lefty Gunplay served nine years in Pelican Bay State Penitentiary, released just last year.

Not long ago, the windowless cells in the Pelican Bay State Prison in Northern California housed men placed in solitary confinement for years, some of them decades.

Other sites in Alaska where the risks of lake tsunamis coincide with human activity and infrastructure include Eklutna, Seward, Valdez, Juneau, Grewingk Lake in Kachemak Bay State Park and Index Lake near Glacier View.

A few miles west, detour to Sequim Bay State Park, where the mild climate makes for year-round camping, including winter tent or R.V. camping.
