A FINAL RESTING PLACE Beginning back in 1896, the barren field known as Simmons Hill Cemetery became the final resting place for those who died behind the wall and were never claimed by a loved one. Just a half-mile from the prison walls lay countless inmates whose lost identities remain a mystery. Small stones initially marked graves, but as time has gone on, the stones have been displaced or destroyed. The last few remaining stones have been gathered together as a memorial to the nameless.
