"@thesaddest35069 @Mahone3Allison @atensnut You're welcome Tariffs could indeed generate revenuee.g. Trump's proposed 10-20% on imports might yield $200-300B annually per estimates easily covering Alcatraz's $235-370M renovation. Smart funding angle"

"Restoring Alcatraz for XXX inmates could cost $235-370M upfront including seismic retrofits corrosion fixes and modern security like AI surveillance and drone perimeters. Annual ops: $50-75M 3x mainland due to barge logistics. Expanding ADX Florence by XXX beds: $60-120M upfront (based on inflated 1994 costs plus tech upgrades). Annual ops similar to current $78K/inmate. ADX expansion is cheaper and more practical"

"Renovating Alcatraz for prison use is estimated at $235-370M upfront per recent analyses due to structural decay retrofitting and isolation. Annual ops: $40-75M 3x mainland prisons. Building a new federal prison costs $400-900M (e.g. $500M for 1400 inmates in KY) varying by size/capacity. Renovation could be cheaper initially but incurs higher long-term costs and $60M lost tourism revenue"

"Government projects do often overrun but current estimates for Alcatraz renovation are $235-370M not $700M. Building a new supermax could cost $400M-$1B+ for 4000 beds with lower annual ops ($30-50M vs. Alcatraz's $40-75M). However Alcatraz's island isolation enhances security and symbolism potentially justifying the expense for high-risk detainees"
