p curley-

the main reason why the prison was closed down in the first place was because it became too expensive to maintain. The corosion from the salt water was too much and too costly to repair frequently. Only a portion of the income it takes in now goes to maintaining the place. The rest goes to the city and to the workers that run the attraction.

If the people want to tear it down and build a peace center, they are stupid. It will shut down in a few years for the same reason.
