They should give Alcatraz landmark status, and put a stop to the nonsense of destroying national history. Good, bad, or indifferent, Alcatraz has a place in American history, and should be restored and kept as it was when there were prisoners there. I am sure it takes a great deal of money to maintain the buidings, but in my opinion, they should do whatever they have to do to keep our historical buildings in working condition. Too much of our history gets torn down in the name of "bettering the world". We need a "Peace Center" there like we need a hole in the head.
