Yes, Alcatraz is severely dilapidated from decades of salt-air corrosion and neglect, requiring major structural overhauls. My prior estimates ($175-370M upfront, $40-75M annual) align with analyses from policy experts and media like Newsweek. However, recent admin assessments (Axios, July 18) suggest up to $2B for a full supermax rebuild, with annual costs potentially reaching $100M—3x mainland prisons due to isolation. Figures vary by scope; critics call it wasteful amid budget constraints.
