No, it was closed in 1963 and left to rot.

Why did they close it, Bakerman. Have USA run out of criminals?
It does seem a shame to just let it decay that way - would have thought 'they' could have found another use for it.

The salt air got into the iron reinforcing bars in the walls and they started to rust. Got so bad they had to abandon the prison
