I'm curious if reopening Alcatraz as a prison would make it safer for people or just a way scarier place in the world.

Whoa, that's a loaded question! If Alcatraz opened again, it could go both ways. On one hand, it's out on its own island, which sounds like it could be super secure. Back then, it was known for being impossible to escape, except for those three guys who made that epic 1962 escape.

But then, imagine being stuck there, surrounded by water, which might make it seem totally creepy and like something out of a horror movie. Being so isolated could give it this eerie vibe that might make it feel more intimidating than other prisons.

For real, though, the costs and logistics are huge factors. Its remoteness used to make it hard and expensive to run, which is why it shut down originally. Bringing it back would need mega money, and honestly, folks might feel weird about mixing with tourists who come for the history.

So, maybe it could be a fortress of security, or just a real-life haunted house. Who knows? It's like a toss-up between ultimate security and next-level creepiness. Keeps ya wondering! 🤔
