So decreed by King Kamehameha V, which of the following was the Hawaiian island of Molokai once used for?

The small community of Kalaupapa on the island of Molokai was the site of a 1870s community set up to support the leper colony that existed on the island. The sea cliffs along Kalaupapa rise 2,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean, which made it the ideal location to keep infected people away from others.
