Tourists question Trump's idea of ​​transforming Alcatraz back into prison

Boat loads from tourists crossed Alcatraz Island on Monday morning and peeked into tiny prison cells. He learned from the most notorious inmates that stayed there – and those who tried to flee.

The tour at the worshiped San Francisco Attraction Standard, apart from a topic that could not be avoided in the conversations that were repeated by the old cell blocks.

Can you believe that President Trump Alcatraz wants to convert back to a federal prison?

The morning tour groups were full of international travelers, and many of them had received telephone notifications about Trump's plan or read news reports about breakfast. Some wondered whether they could actually be among the last visitors who were allowed to hike through the island. But nobody seemed to believe that the idea was almost as brilliant as Mr. Trump thought.

“I thought it was a joke,” said Philipp Neumann, who visited Germany. “It's a ruin, nothing more or less?”

A ruin, yes, with some buildings worsens so much that they no longer have roofs or complete walls. The cells have broken toilets if they have any, without running water or waste water.

The outer walls of the cell blocks are so weak that they are reinforced with a net to prevent concrete chunks from crumbling on tourist heads. Bird deposits coat a lot of the island. All supplies from food to fuel must be introduced by boat.
