Trump says he will open the Alcatraz prison again

New York (AP) President Donald Trump says that he was blowing his government to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the notorious former prison on a difficult to reach California island, which has been closed for more than 60 years.

In a contribution on his social side on Sunday evening in the truth, Trump wrote: “America was plagued by malignant, violent and repeated criminals for too long.

“That is why today I lead the prisons' office together with the Ministry of Justice, the FBI and the home protection security in order to reopen a significantly expanded and rebuilt Alcatraz recording.

The prison – due to the strong sea currents and the cold pacific water that was surrounded, was inevitable, was known as “The Rock” and housed some of the most notorious criminals in the country, including Gangster Al Capone and George “machine gun” Kelly.

It has long been part of the cultural imagination and was the subject of numerous films, including “The Rock” with Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage.

It was still open in the 29 years, 36 men tried 14 separate escape, according to FBI. Almost all of them were caught or did not survive the attempt.

The fate of three special inmates – John Anglin, his brother Clarence and Frank Morris – is of a debate and was dramatized in the film “Escape from Alcatraz” from 1979 with Clinton Eastwood.

Alcatraz Island is now an important tourist location that is operated by the National Park Service and is a proven national historical landmark.

The closure of the federal prison in 1963 was attributed to the crumbling infrastructure and the high costs for the repair and delivery of the island system, since everything had to be brought by boat from fuel to food.

A spokesman for the prison office said in a statement that the agency “will comply with all presidential orders”. The spokesman did not immediately answer the Associated Press on the practicality and feasibility of the reopening of Alcatraz or the role of the agency in the future of the former prison in view of the control of the island of the National Park Service.

The island serves as a true time machine for a past era of corrections. The office of prisons currently has 16 bodies that perform the same high-security functions as Alcatraz, including the maximum security facility in Florence, Colorado, and the US prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, which houses the home of the Federal Chamber.

The command comes when Trump collides with the dishes when he tries to send accused gang members to a notorious prison in El Salvador without proper procedure. Trump also instructed the opening of a detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to keep up to 30,000 of what he described as the “worst criminal foreigner”.

The prison office has been exposed to countless crises in recent years and, according to Jeffrey Epstein's suicide, has been strengthened in a federal prison in New York City in 2019. An AP examination discovered deep, previously not reported mistakes in the Bureau of Prison. AP reporting has disclosed widespread criminal activities by employees, dozens of flight, chronic violence, deaths and serious lack of staff who have hindered the reactions to emergencies, including attacks and suicide.

The examination of the AP also revealed rampant sexual abuse in a federal women in Dublin, California. Last year, President Joe Biden signed an agency's legislative amplification after AP reported that they had excited their many defects.
