Join us on the Take On The World Podcast as we delve into the dark and fascinating history of Devil's Island Penal Colony. Located off the coast of French Guiana, this infamous prison system was notorious for its harsh conditions, brutal treatment, and high mortality rate. From 1852 to 1953, it housed over 80,000 prisoners, including political figures like Captain Alfred Dreyfus and notorious escape artists like Henri Charrière, aka Papillon. We'll explore the island's eerie past, its role in French history, and the stories of those who lived and died there.
