Pelican Bay State Prison

Pelican Bay State Prison is a California State Prison located near Crescent City, California on 275 acres. It is best-known for its Secure Housing Unit (S.H.U.) where inmates presenting serious management concerns are incarcerated. Prisoner advocates argue that S.H.U. imprisonment is cruel and unusual punishment, due to the lack of stimulation, activity and natural light given to these prisoners.
