Pulau Jerejak was known as The Alcatraz of Malaysia because of Jerejak Prison. This 362ha island is rich with historical events, flora and fauna. The founder of Penang, Francis Light arrived at Pulau Jerejak in 1786 because heading to Penang and brought immigrants from other parts of Asia. As a precautionary measure step, these immigrants were sent to Jerejak before they were accepted in Penang. Thus the history of Pulau Jerejak begin...
Pulau Jerejak is located 1.5 nautical miles from the island of Penang off the west coast of Malaysia. Once a hospital for tuberculosis and leprosy patients and then a prison housing some of Malaysia's most wanted criminals; Pulau Jerejak has certainly seen its share of hardship and pain, but now the sounds of the past have died away and the island has taken on a fresh look, reverting back to its original splendour.
