Donald Trump says his government is ordering to reopen and expand his notorious prison, Alcatraz, on the island of the California coast.
Trump said in a message about his truth social site on Sunday, “For too long, the United States has been suffering from malicious, violent and repeated criminals.”
He said that one of the most difficult prison in the United States, the notorious Alcatraz resumination would act as a “symbol of law, order and justice.”
The largest security facility, also known as The Rock, was closed in 1963 and is currently operated as a tourist destination. It is near Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Trump said, “Today, I have instructed the prison with the Ministry of Justice, the FBI and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to resume it to actually expand and rebuild Alcatraz.
The prison will “accept the most ruthless and violent criminals in the United States.”
President Trump conflicts with the court about the policy of sending gang members to El Salvador’s prison. In March, he sent more than 200 Venezuela gangs there. He also talked about sending “asset criminals” to foreign prisons.
Alcatraz was originally a naval defense fortress In the early 20th century, it was rebuilt as a military prison. The Ministry of Justice acquired it in the 1930s and began to be convicted in the federal prison system. Among the more famous prisoners were the notorious gangster, Al Capone, Mickey Cohen and George “Machine Gun” Kelly.
The prison was also famous by Alkatraz’s Birdman on the 1962 film, Robert Stroud, a guilty of Bird Lancraz of Al Katraz, who was convicted.
It was also the site of the 1996 film The Rock, starring Sean Conner and Nicolas Cage, and was about the former SAS captain and FBI chemist who saved hostages from Alcatraz Island.
According to the Federal Prison website, the prison was closed because it was too expensive to continue to operate. Because of the island position, it cost almost three times more to operate than other federal prison.
Davis School of Law at the University of California told the BBC that it would take tremendous money to make Alcatraz a functional prison.
HIN said that the federal prison system has actually decreased by about 25% in the highest population, and in the existing prison, “there are many empty beds.” “So I’m not sure if something new is needed.”
Alcatraz said, “He has gained a reputation for a tough prison, and Trump is trying to send a message that his executive is difficult for crime, China added.
Nancy Pelosi, a former chairman of the House of Representatives, on earth, including Alcatraz, said the proposal was “not serious.” San Francisco’s Democratic Senator Scott Wiener called “deep hinge” in the post on Instagram.
