Via Angry Staffer:
Renovating and reopening Alcatraz would be the dumbest idea in most administrations.
With #Trump, it doesn’t even crack the top 5.
Art Candee:
Alcatraz brings in between $20 million and $34 million a year in tourism revenue for the National Park Service alone.
The cost to renovate Alcatraz could be as high as $350 million to house 300 prisoners.
In 1959, it cost over 3x more to house inmates there vs. another prison...
