Not sure what jail cell is being mentioned but Aruba has one of the largest prisons I have ever seen! Absolutely vast fortress like building on a hill off the main road that goes around the island.

That is why I laugh when I hear about the low crime rate...that's bogus. That prison is full - so who's in there?

Excellent question, Eleni. Perhaps they are bringing in prisoners from other islands or even from Holland.

I was referring to the local jail in my earlier post. I'm assuming they only have one jail and the prison you mentioned. Especially since the popopulation is approx 70,000, I doubt they'd have more than one jail, but who knows with that place. lol
