The Monroe
County (Key West) jail has a Children’s Animal Farm.
“The farm was started in 1994 in an open
area underneath the jail facility. The Stock Island Detention Center was built
to withstand a Category Five Hurricane, and is built on stilts, about 11 feet
above the ground. Underneath the building is employee parking, and a secure
fenced area used for the evacuation of inmates in the case of a fire. It was in
this evacuation area, initially a graveled area not used for anything else,
that the farm was started.
“The farm began as a haven for homeless animals.”

17 Monroe County residents live on the mainland. 99.9% live on the Keys. Those numbers have nothing to do with the story, but are interesting.
