Donald Trump's recent proposal to reopen Alcatraz prison underscores his tendency for whimsical, impractical policy ideas. Announced on his platform Truth Social, he suggested turning the historic site into a revamped penitentiary to address concerns about crime. While he cites a need for stricter measures, many experts point out that operational logistics and costs make reopening Alcatraz unfeasible. The prison was closed in 1963 due to high maintenance and operational expenses, a fact Trump overlooks in his call for tougher crime solutions.
"Trump's latest proposal to reopen Alcatraz as a prison illustrates a childlike approach to policy, neglecting practical considerations and historical context."
"He vowed to Make Alcatraz Great Again by reopening a 'substantially enlarged and rebuilt' prison, expressing a need for tougher measures against crime."
