I cant imagine retrofitting such an ancient structure for modern prison standards will be cheap...
Like... you'd be better off building a new structure...
Not to mention the loss of revenue from tourism.
That revenue loss is the point. Lil Donnie loves to do anything he can to hurt California.
Alcatraz is owned by the National Parks Service though, so I imagine it more directly hurts the federal government - hurting California is more of a secondary nature.
Really just a self own...
He's pretty clearly proven he doesn't give a fuck about the National Parks Service either
