"The prison on Alcatraz closed on March 21, 1963, because it was too expensive to continue operating, according to BOP.
It was nearly three times more expensive to operate Alcatraz than any other federal prison, in part because its physical isolation required food and supplies to be dropped off by boat. The island also had no source of fresh water, so nearly one million gallons had to be barged in each week."
