Trump Orders Reopening of Alcatraz Prison for Offenders

ai generated text

US President Donald Trump has issued a directive to reopen and expand Alcatraz, a notorious former prison on a California island. According to Trump, the move is intended to address the issue of violent and repeat offenders in America. However, California lawmakers have dismissed the idea as "absurd" and suggested it is a distraction from the president's political agenda, citing the fact that the prison complex was closed in 1963.

    1. An estimated $3 million to $5 million was needed just for restoration and maintenance work to keep the prison open. That figure did not include daily operating costs — Alcatraz was nearly three times more expensive to operate than any other federal prison.

    1. In addition to being deeply unhinged, this is an attack on the rule of law. Putting aside that Alcatraz is a museum & tourist attraction, this is both nuts & terrifying.

    1. It is now a very popular national park and major tourist attraction. The President's proposal is not a serious one.

    1. 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.
    2. When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. 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.

    1. At least $175-250m just to shore up crumbling concrete, retrofit for earthquakes, and install 21st-century security tech. Operating costs that never stop bleeding. Everything, water, food, fuel, must be barged in, and raw sewage barged out. That pushes the annual budget to 3× a comparable mainland prison, roughly $70 – 75 M every single year.

    1. Alcatraz. No more than a sensational distraction from this: Trump just cut nearly $1 billion from bipartisan, proven, successful anti-crime, violence prevention programs around the country.
