The Challenge here is to come up with a series of events, or reasons that allows for Alcatraz to remain an operational Federal Prison until at least 1990. Prison reconstruction can occur.

Easy really, have the Army Corps of Engineers install a desalinzation plant on the island around the 1950s. It will greatly cut down on the costs maintaining the island
It might help if you remove Robert F. Kennedy from being attorney General during Kennedy's administatrion. Bobby seemed to want to close that island down pronto. I can understand why, good economics, and also it may have tied into Hoover and RFK clashes in the 1960s.
