We house them on McNeil Island.

Washington state took over the penitentiary from the federal government in 1981. It is now called McNeil Island Corrections Center. According to the state, it is the only facility in the U.S. to have been a territorial, federal, and state prison, and is the only prison left in North America that is only accessible by boat or air. It is presently the site of the state's primary Special Commitment Center, where sexually violent predators are committed for treatment after completing their standard prison sentences.

--snip--There is no commerce or stores on the island and access to the island is strictly controlled by the Department of Corrections making it the most exclusive island in the entire Puget Sound.
