Trump’s decision represents his most recent attempt to change the location and methods of incarceration for federal prisoners and immigration detainees.
Furthermore, he didn’t try to minimize the significance of selecting Alcatraz, a location that formerly housed criminals like George “Machine Gun” Kelly and Al Capone.
“OPEN ALCATRAZ AND REBUILD IT!” Trump said. “We will no longer put up with these repeat offenders who wreak havoc, bloodshed, and filth on our streets.”
“We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally,” he said, criticizing what he termed soft judicial procedures.
ALCATRAZ’s reopening will stand as a testament to justice, law, and order. “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he said in closing. However, there are significant financial.
And logistical obstacles to Trump’s audacious order. The first Alcatraz, which was situated on San Francisco’s Alcatraz Island, was shut down in 1963 for financial.
Reasons rather than an amazing escape, albeit that did occur. According to AP, it was just too costly to operate. The institution, known as “The Rock,” cost three times as much.
