Terrible idea. Alcatraz was in bad shape when it closed. The walls had been weakened enough by the sea air, that's why Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers were able to tunnel out of their cells.

No doubt the infrastructure of the facility has only gotten worse since then.

I suppose the entire facility could be demolished and rebuilt. The location is certainly pretty secure.

it’s not gonna happen ... the cost to renovate alcatraz would buy ten brand new prisons ... the place is absolutely decrepit ...

Probably one of the few people who can make that determination is Trump working with structural engineers since he build 92 story buildings and dozens of renovations throughout New York City.
