President Donald Trump demands the notorious prison and now historical landmark Alcatraz in San Francisco, California, to rebuild and reopen in order to reopen the country's ruthless and violent criminals.

Trump made the announcement on Sunday evening in a social post of truth.

“Restore Alcatraz again!” The president said. “America was plagued by malignant, violent and repeated criminals, the Dregs of the company, which will never contribute anything other than misery and suffering.

“When we were a more serious nation in earlier times, we did not hesitate to lock the most dangerous criminals and keep them far away from any far away from anyone who could harm,” continued Trump, adding that it should be. “We will no longer tolerate these serial offenders, dirt, bloodshed and chaos on our streets.”

Trump said he was rejecting the office for prisons, the Ministry of Justice, the FBI and the Ministry of Homeland Security in order to reopen a “significantly enlarged and converted” Alcatraz “in order to accommodate America's ruthless and violent criminals.”

“We are no longer kept as criminals, rackets and judges as hostages who are afraid to do their work and allow us to remove criminals who came to our country illegally,” he said in the post office. “The reopening of Alcatraz will serve as a symbol of law, order and justice. We will make America great again!”

Alcatraz was opened in 1934, but the prison, which was on a 22 hectare rock spit, was closed after 29 years.

In view of the 1.25 miles long route to the country, the Bay Area Island was classified as practically fleeing, although 14 documented attempts were attempted.

The best known was June 11, 1962, escape from John and Clarence Anglin and Frank Morris, who inspired the “Escape from Alcatraz”.

It remains a mystery whether the three reached the bank and survived. The FBI concluded that the refugees had drowned due to hard conditions.

The three prisoners had to escape from their own prison cells and built temporary, pap -like heads.

The last attempt to flee from prison almost six months later inspired what has become the swimming routes of the triathlon “Escape from Alcatraz”.

The most notorious inmates included Gangster James “Whitey” Bulger, Al Capone and George “Machine Rifle” Kelly as well as notorious “Birdman by Alcatraz” Robert Stroud and “Public Enemy No. 1” Alvin Karpis.

Alcatraz ultimately closed in 1963, after his island farms had proven to be far from Artler than the prisons in mainland.
