What was the budget in Alcatraz?

The budget for operating Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary varied throughout its years of operation from 1934 to 1963. In its later years, the annual budget was approximately $1 million, covering costs for staff salaries, maintenance, and inmate care. However, exact figures fluctuated based on operational needs and changes in federal funding. Following its closure in 1963, Alcatraz became a national park, and its budget shifted to focus on preservation and tourism rather than incarceration.
