President Trump announced plans to rebuild Alcatraz, closed for over 60 years, to serve as a modern facility for dangerous criminals. He directed the Bureau of Prisons, DOJ, FBI, and Homeland Security toward this goal, emphasizing a dual purpose of managing serious offenders and demonstrating governmental commitment to crime control. Alcatraz, once home to notorious figures like Al Capone, symbolizes a stern approach to justice. However, the financial implications of such a project, particularly on an island, raise concerns that remain unaddressed by federal agencies.
"I am directing the Bureau of Prisons... to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders."
"The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE."
