Trump Declares Revival of Alcatraz Penitentiary

(NYC) President Donnie T. (aka DJT) dropped a bombshell on Sunday night, declaring his intentions to resurrect and beef up Alcatraz – that infamous, desolate rock sitch isolated off the coast of SF – a place that's been closed for over half a century.
In true DJT fashion, he shared the scoop on his Truth Social platform: "Enough is enough with these thugs, lowlifes, and repeat offenders causing misery and chaos. Back in the day when we were a serious nation, we didn't hesitate to lock down the worst scumbags and keep them away from innocent people. Let's go back to those times."
According to his post, DJT issued orders to the Bureau of Prisons, in collaboration with the DOJ, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reboot and reconstruct the infamous ALCATRAZ, transforming it into a modern penitentiary for America's most ruthless and violent criminals.
This initiative comes as the latest move in DJT's quest to revamp the federal prison system and detention centers. However, rejuvenating the aging Alcatraz may prove challenging and costly.
Alcatraz shut its doors in 1963 due to the disrepair and sky-high repair costs of the island's infrastructure. Everything, from fuel to food, had to be delivered by boat, making it a logistical nightmare.
Bringing Alcatraz back to life would demand a massive cash injection, especially considering that the Bureau of Prisons is currently phasing out facilities due to infrastructure issues.
Known for its unbroken escape-proof reputation, "The Rock" was notorious for housing some of the country's most notorious thugs, including Al Capone and George "Machine Gun" Kelly. Its 29-year reign played muse to numerous films, like "The Rock" starring Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage.
Securing a successful escape from Alcatraz proved rare. The FBI reports only 14 daring attempts by 36 convicts, with less than half escaping the island's cold Pacific waters and strong ocean currents. The fate of three convicts, the Anglin brothers, and Frank Morris, remains a mystery, their stories immortalized in the 1979 flick "Escape from Alcatraz".
Today, Alcatraz Island has evolved into a popular tourist destination, managed by the National Park Service. Visitors can take a trip back in time and explore this historic symbol of the penitentiary system.
DJT claims the origins of the idea hail from his frustration with "lefty judges" who insist on treating expelled individuals with kid gloves. He considers Alcatraz a symbol of law and order, dubbing it a "city with a rich history."
The Bureau of Prisons remains tight-lipped about the specifics of their role in bringing Alcatraz back from the dead. However, a spokesperson for the agency confirmed they will "comply with all presidential directives."
The island's former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, a Cali Dem, has expressed doubts about the feasibility of reopening the prison following such a long hiatus. She believes that reopening Alcatraz would be a mistake, considering it's now a thriving tourist attraction.
The Bureau of Prisons currently supervises 16 high-security prisons similar to Alcatraz, including its flagship in Florence, Colorado, and the USP in Terre Haute, Indiana, which houses the federal death chamber.
Meanwhile, DJT finds himself in a standoff with the justice system, attempting to deport gang members without proper process, and exploring the legally dubious idea of moving certain American fed-inmates to Guantanamo Bay.
DJT has also ordered the creation of a detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, capable of housing up to 30,000 “foreign ruffians.”
- The proposed reopening of Alcatraz by President Donnie T. as a modern penitentiary for America's most dangerous criminals is a controversial move that has infiltrated the realms of policy-and-legislation and politics, raising questions about justice and war-and-conflicts.
- The revitalization of Alcatraz, a symbol of law and order according to DJT, has sparked a debate among general news outlets, with some raising concerns about its feasibility and impact on tourism, while others focus on its potential role in enforcing justice and deterring crime.
