It is located approximately 14 km (9 mi) off the coast of French Guiana in South America just north of the town of Kourou. It has an area of 14 ha (34.6 acres). The island was a part of a controversial French penal colony located in French Guiana for 101 years, from 1852 to 1953. Although it was the smallest part of the penal colony, it is notorious for being used for internal exile of French political prisoners during that period.{{cite web| year = 1981| url = http://www.trivia-library.com/b/famous-lasts-the-last-prisoner-on-devil-island.htm| title= The Last Prisoner on Devil's Island| accessdate = 2012-04-28}} Excerpt from the People's Almanac, posted at "trivia-library.com
