I hope that was sarcasm.

Alcatraz has now been closed more years than it was opened.

Opened in 1934.
Closed in 1963.
It operated for 29 years
It has been closed for 62 years.

Anyone who has been on the Alcatraz tour can tell you about the terrible condition in which it remains. There is no reopening it. There would only be demolishing & rebuilding. If doing that, it makes more sense to pick another location that can be used to build a larger facility.

Trump only wants Alcatraz because someone probably told him it generates around $20 million in revenue for CA each year. Also, it was added to the National Historic Registry in the 80s, so I'm not sure of the logistics for renovating a designated landmark and what that may entail. But let's be honest, this admin doesn't care about rules or laws, so whatevs. [/quote]

From the Bureau of Prisons website: “Alcatraz closed after 29 years of operation…because the institution was too expensive to continue operating.”
