Question

The prison is called 'Winter Island' in the story.

Answer 1

Answer:

Soapy knew that there were places he could go to, where he would get food and bed. However, in exchange for these things he would have to do certain tasks and pay for what he was getting. He would have to answer questions about his life and he did not like this. He would rather prefer the prison, on Blackwell’s Island. There were rules in the prison, but he could live there like a free man.
