Visitors, including those from abroad, were skeptical about the practicality of the plan, citing the crumbling infrastructure and unsanitary conditions of the island. Many feared they might soon be among the last to experience Alcatraz in its current state. The general consensus was that the site is a historical ruin rather than a viable prison facility.
Many visitors to Alcatraz, including international travelers, expressed disbelief over President Trump's idea to convert the island back into a federal prison, calling it impractical.
Philipp Neumann from Germany remarked on the dilapidated state of Alcatraz, questioning its viability as a prison: 'It's a ruin, isn't it, more or less?'
The cells at Alcatraz are in poor condition, lacking basic amenities like running water and proper sewage systems, making it unsuitable for modern imprisonment.
