	The Morning News - Hart Island by Clay Risen
		New York City is a collection of islands, and one, Hart Island, is completely inaccessible, possibly because it’s reserved for the dead.
		But where most New York islets are lucky to have one claim to fame, Hart Island has several: It has been, at times, a prisoner of war camp, a sanitarium, a missile base, and the city’s potter’s field.
		Access to Hart Island is strictly prohibited, and it takes an official pass or a heavy amount of bureaucratic wrangling to get permission to visit.

	Google Sightseeing » Post Archive » Island of the Dead (Island Week)
		In 1869 Hart Island was established as the City’s public cemetery - NYC’s Potter’s Field, where impoverished, unidentified, unclaimed or unwanted bodies are buried.
		Today Hart Island is no longer any kind of jail (the last prisoners were transferred to NYC’s infamous Rikers Island in 1991), but the City Cemetery is still maintained by the Department of Corrections - during the week a consignment of inmates is brought here by bus to bury the forgotten dead.
		Hart Island isn’t open to the general public, but in 2000 a group of historians were allowed to visit and the resulting ground level photo-tour is well worth seeing.
