No one there. Just make jail prisoners walk around the dead lake. No need for a jail.

Relieving stress along the fault. Lots of little quakes are much better than one big one.

Worst smelling place ever with all the dead fish perpetually rotting around the shore. Only slightly better than the Chicago stockyards.

Maybe it will cause a breach somewhere and it will refill, like the accident that created it.

It was, once upon a time.
Maybe 50 years or so ago they were selling land like hotcakes. Fishing, waterskiing it was going to be a desert-lake resort. Then the Salton Sea got too salty to support any kind of fish. What ever homes got built were abandoned. Business of course vanished.
There are films about it on YouTube where you can see what was and what now is.
