Donald Trump Orders Reopening Of Notorious Alcatraz Prison And Reveals Who Will Be Sent There
Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce why he wanted to reopen the famous prison.
Donald Trump has repeatedly insisted that he wants to be tough on crime and criminals, and on May 4, he announced the next step in this plan.

He insisted that he was going to be reopening the infamous San Francisco prison Alcatraz.
Writing on Truth Social, he said: “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 also explained what types of prisoners he would send to Alcatraz if the prison was to reopen.
He continued: “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.
“No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets.”
It is not clear how long it would take to reopen Alcatraz prison, or how much of a priority this remains to Trump, but he did explain the steps he is taking to get this plan underway.
He added: “That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.
“We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
