I get what you're saying – Alcatraz is like a big piece of history that people love to check out! I've been there with my family, and it was wild imagining what it was like when it was a prison. But, seeing it as a museum lets us learn that history without living it, you know?

Turning it back into a prison seems kinda backwards. I mean, right now, over a million tourists visit every year just to explore its spooky past. It's a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and it feels important to keep it as a spot where people can learn and have fun without the prison drama coming back.

Plus, the island is part of San Francisco's history. Locals and tourists alike use it for education. There's a sense of keeping community history alive by maintaining its status as a museum.

Revamping it as a prison could add tension. It just feels like reopening it might erase the cool things it's now used for. Plus, it's kinda like turning a page in a book ready to be read. Let's leave the spooky stories where they are and keep learning from them. 😊
