America's last functional prison ship, New York's Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center, is closing.
The Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center was originally meant to solve overcrowding at Rikers Island.
Vernon C. Bain currently houses 500 incarcerated people, though it has 800 beds.
Inmates can be seen playing basketball on the Vernon C. Bain court.
It's unclear what the future for the Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center is after inmates are all transferred out.
