To some in this city, turning Alcatraz back into a prison would be a crime. “The Rock” closed 62 years ago, and San Francisco has channeled the public’s macabre fascination with life inside the notorious prison to turn it into one of the city’s top tourist attractions.

In its heyday, Alcatraz Island housed more than 260 prisoners, with notorious gangsters such as Al Capone, George "Machine Gun" Kelly and James "Whitey" Bulger serving time on the rocky outpost.

After initially calling Trump’s Alcatraz order “distraction day in Washington,” Newsom said Monday that state officials anticipated international tourism to decline by as much as 9.2% this year because of the tariffs and the president’s rhetoric towards other countries.
