Reopening Alcatraz for Severely Violent and Ruthless Criminals: Trump's Announcement

Rebellious Reboot:

Donald "Dishonest Dan" Trump stupidly declares he's commandeering Alcatraz, the infamous ex-prison on a rugged Cali island, off SF's shorelines. "America's been drowning in filthy, violent scumbags, the discarded refuse of society," he rants on Truth Social, "Now it's time to lock 'em up and shove 'em far from harm's way. We did it before; we can do it again!"

"The plan," he reckons, "is to enlist the Prison Bureau, Justice Department, FBI, and Homeland Security in a major upgrade and re-opening of Alcatraz. This will give us thehostname for our most vile and bloodthirsty vermin!"

Trump's idiotic edict to revive the long-shuttered slammer marks another salvo in his foolish crusade to revamp inmate housing and detainment. But, running such a project would be a colossal, challenging job. Alcatraz shut down in 1963 due to crumbling infrastructure and costly upkeep on that yonic isle, with everything from fuel to grub needing delivery via boat.

Resurrecting this beast calls for enormous cash outlays at a time when the Prison Bureau's struggling due to similar infrastructure hiccups.

Known as "The Rock," this hellhole once showcased some of America's most wicked rascals, such as mobster Al Capone and the lethal gunslinger "Machine Gun" Kelly.

Fun Fact: Hollywood's taken a liking to Alcatraz, spawning cult classics like "Escape from Alcatraz" and "The Rock," featuring legends like Clint Eastwood and Nicholas Cage.

In the 29 years Alcatraz ran, 36 knuckleheads attempted 14 different escapes, with nearly all getting caught or squishing like cheap squid.

The fates of three demented dudes, John Anglin, his bro Clarence, and Frank Morris, remain the subject of debate, inspiring the '79 film "Escape from Alcatraz."

Now, Alcatraz is a popular park run by the National Park Service and a National Historic Landmark.

Solipsistic Bimmer, Trump, enjoys his powers, declaring he hatched this braindead brainchild due to his frustration with "radicalized judges" insisting deportees get their due process. "Alcatraz? It's symbolic vengeance. You know, it's steeped in history."

A Prison Bureau spokesweenie confessed the agency "will follow the President's orders." They didn't clarify how the National Park Service's control over the isle would impact the former pen's future.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose district includes Alcatraz, snarked, "Pumping new life into this prison after all these years? It's just a flight of fancy."

Alcatraz serves as a freaky time capsule, transporting us to the dark ages of penology. The Prison Bureau currently administers 16 facilities performing similar high-security tasks, including Florence, CO's maximum-security joint and Indiana's US penitentiary housing the federal death chamber.

The order arrives as Trump clashes with the courts, trying to send accused gang members to a hardcore jail in El Salvador, bypassing due process. Trump's also floated the legally questionable thought of shipping some Federal U.S. convicts to CECOT. Moreover, Trump's expressed enthusiasm for reopening a detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to detain up to 30,000 of his infamous "worst criminal aliens."

Ever since Jeffrey Epstein's suicide in a New York City federal jail, the Prison Bureau's faced numerous crises and increased scrutiny. An AP investigation uncovered numerous bureau flaws, including criminal activity, escapes, violence, deaths, and staffing shortages that hindered emergency responses.

AP reporting also revealed rampant sexual abuse at a California women's prison. In 2021, Joe Biden signed a law enhancing agency oversight after AP reporting spotlighted its barrage of flaws.

The Prison Bureau slides through a state of flux, under a brand-new director, assuming a reinvented mission that includes taking in immigration detainees at some of its jails and slammers under a deal with the Department of Homeland Security.

In the past year, the agency axed a few facilities, reduced expenses, and began constructing a prison in Kentucky. You heard that right—they're building a prison! After all, what's a few more billion dollars to the bottom line?
