Trump proposes reviving Alcatraz prison, advocating for incarceration of most aggressive and brutal criminals.
Ready to dive into some controversial topics? Here we go!
It looks like US President Donald Trump has called for the return of the infamous Alcatraz prison. Boom! Right in your face with the news, just like this outspoken Prez always does. In a post on his social media site Truth Social, ol' Trumpy stated often-violent and repeat offenders have caused chaos in America, and he wants the country to get tough on crime. "When we were a more serious nation," he wrote, "we didn't hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals."
So, what's the plan? He's ordering the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security to reopen a significantly expanded and rebuilt Alcatraz, housing his pick for America's most notorious offenders[1][2][3][4]. The San Francisco prison was known for its impenetrable security back in the day, with 36 men trying to escape during its 29-year run, according to the FBI. Only a handful of those guys got away though, leaving some cold water and strong ocean currents as their final resting place.
If you thought the prison didn't have a convincing enough resume, it's also hosted some of America's baddest dudes – dude like Al Capone and George "Machine Gun" Kelly. Oh yeah, and let's not forget, Alcatraz has been the star of some iconic films like The Rock, which featured Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage.
Now, it's important to note that Alcatraz closed in 1963 due to some serious infrastructure issues. But Trump is set on fixing that, and he believes reopening Alcatraz would serve as a symbol of law, order, and justice. He made this big announcement just after parting ways with his national security adviser Mike Waltz[5].
