Trump to Rebuild and Open Giant Prison Alcatraz
President Donald Trump directed the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to reopen and rebuild Alcatraz prison to house the "most ruthless and violent" criminals.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump noted that when the United States was "a more serious Nation," the government did not "hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals."
"REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!" Trump wrote. "For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering. 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."
Trump pointed out that that was "the way it's supposed to be" and added that the U.S. would not tolerate "these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem" on the streets.
