wall of tears • 5 comments • While on Isabela Island, we visited the Wall of Tears (or Muro de las Lagrimas). The wall was given it's name because many convicts died while building the monument. A prison uprising is why the wall wasn't completed and it also caused the end of the use of Isabela Island as a penal colony. Apparently, there are still a few former prisoners, that live on the island, who survived the brutal punishment.
