Trump orders reopening and expansion of Alcatraz
The Independent
|May 06, 2025
US president Donald Trump says he has ordered that Alcatraz, the notorious California island prison, be reopened.
The federal penitentiary closed in 1963. In a Truth Social post on Sunday evening, the president called to “REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!”
“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,” Trump wrote. “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. That’s the way it’s supposed to be.”
