People lived on Alcatraz long before the federal penitentiary was built. I've been there. It has a whole section filled with amazing plants. People also lived there before and during the time that the prison was there.
Alcatraz was built on 1853 so Alcatraz would be 157 years old.
no one really knows except the person who built it
The U.S Military and later the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Never. Alcatraz was shut down in 1963, long before Bundy's killing spree.

Yes, before being a federal prison, Alcatraz was used by the Army as a Disciplinary barracks for disorderly servicemen and, before that, as a fort intended for the defense of San Francisco Bay.
The first lighthouse on Alcatraz was opened on June 1, 1854 and operated until it was replaced in 1909. The reason being that the lighthouse was too short to shine over the main prison building. The second lighthouse, 84 feet tall, was then built to replace it.
On Aquidneck Island.
