It is federal property. It is old and not efficient to run. We usually don't vote on prison sites. The state gets local approval and the legislature approves the money. Won't get local approval, much less receive the island from the feds.

No it wasn't. That was the 'official' decision. There was an entire story behind J. Hoover and John Kennedy. It was more of one being a nudge to the other.

If enough people expressed an interest in it being reopened a bill could be submitted.

CA could work out a deal with the feds whether it is buying it, leasing it, or something.

I just don't know why the locals wouldn't want it reopened.
