Or Suchong was smarter and made himself hard to get for Ryan (see his diary Changing Employers). Tenenbaum was becoming unreliable so he was the only one who knew as much as her on the whole ADAM researches, and Ryan knew that perfectly well.

Now for the prisoners, they probably got rounded up temporally elsewhere, but Fontaine's was the only place big enough to house them all (and any other people who would start blaming Ryan for Fontaine's death) and allow them some fake sense of liberty (quoting a public address announcement in Burial at Sea 2: Life down in Fontaine's is going to be what you make of it. So, make it great.)
