    This is real life.
    Maybe we need more prisons to alleviate overcrowding (but I think more are closing than opening), but it doesn’t need to be there. Gonna take much time and money to rebuild it, it should remain a national park.
    Color me extremely skeptical this will happen but it’s nuts to think this is under consideration.
    One again this is real life.

    Bottom of a pint glass
    It held like 400 prisoners and was closed because it was incredibly expensive to operate. DOGE

    He wants to turn a property that makes $60 million per year in revenue into the most expensive prison in the country. I'm beginning to see how this guy bankrupted a casino.

    What movie did he just watch to get the idea to open Alcatraz and put tariffs on movies? Trying to understand the mushy brain of the sundowning president here.

    Per the Hill:
    "No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders,” he added."

    He needs to think bigger. For tips on how to offshore violent criminals, look to England and Australia. Now, that was a penal colony.

    What an incredible dummy.

    So Alcatraz will be more secure than Supermax prisons?

    I'd suggest a big beautiful, the most beautiful prison camp be built in Wyoming (population <570,000.) Like nothing ever seen before, so beautiful; so big and beautiful. But strong, the strongest. We will send all the evil terrible people there, thousands of them. Perhaps millions. So many terrible people, the worst people.

    Alcatraz is fallling apart-it’s only a tourist destination . But yeah let’s spend millions bringing it online. What a stupid idea.

    With every new hare-brained idea Trump latches onto Canada, Greenland and Panama must breathe a little easier.
