If they cared to know, the information is trivially-easy to get.

I'm not saying they couldn't find it, or didn't, there is the ruins of a settlement on it. However unless you have it on a chart, it isn't going to be some you'd easily run across. The Lakes are very large and can be very dangerous in storms. So if it is removed from charts for whatever reason, not easy to find.

Funny thing about the prison. It has a giant spotlight which pinpoints the prison if you can get close to the Lake. It's the source of some fairly large ley lines. Which oddly enough is what Kemmler was trying to tap. Luccio even has a map of them.
The White Council as a body didn't need to know. The Senior Council would know. The Merlin knew, Eb knew, Listens To Wind knew and Rashid knew. The other Senior Council members had to be semi aware or else how could they control the hunt by the Wardens? This is a case of oversharing by Butcher.

He builds a prison with a fail safe that would take out Chicago and the environs, yet ignores the possibility of someone like Kemmler. I can't eat that apple. It's full of worms.
For navigation purposes finding an island on Lake Michigan is relatively easy. By the early 1700's the first settlements were on the Lake. Not to mention that the Lake is pretty big and practically unmissable.

Which is why it is always accessed through Arctis Tor, Mab is the failsafe

The prison can only be accessed by Alfred and the Warden if I remember correctly. The island if you know where to look can by accessed by boat.. Oh and when Alfred took Harry and Bob down to show him where the prison was, they didn't need to go through Arctis Tor, they just needed the codes. Mab isn't the fail safe, at the end of Cold Days Harry threatened to turn Alfred on her and she backed off. If she could be put in the slammer, she isn't a fail safe.

You keep referencing that but there is nothing in the books or a WoJ that says that Way even exists. I have plenty of pet theories but I don't base my arguments on the. Please show your work with quotes.
