The prison facilities of Alcatraz were damaged by Native Americans, who took over the facility for a time between 1969 and 1971. Additionally, the planting of non-native species on the island has resulted in changes to the flora. Ecological reclamation efforts are ongoing, and a lot of gum trees were cut down and removed.
It isn't it has been canceled as of May 9th
Alcatraz has been closed as a prison since the early 60s, so there are no prison guards there. Either you are thinking of San Quentin, and the average there is just under $100,000 I believe, or.... The people in uniform you are referring to on Alcatraz are Park Rangers, as Alcatraz is now a part of the US Park system (hence tourism). Hope that helps.
none I remember it being destroyed at least once.

Secondary Succession
Alcatraz island has never been "closed" to the public. The prison on the island closed in 1963, and for over a year and a half the island was home to a Native-American group. Today it is an historic landmark.
Technically, Alcatraz is an island. The structure referred to, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, was a federal prison. The prison has long since been decommissioned as impractical due to the cost of upkeep. Alcatraz Island is now a national park, and the prison is a museum. It is open to the public and guided tours are offered of the island and facilities.

I've once visited the Alcatraz island also at the Pyramid in Egypt. As well as the Sphinx too.
