Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz prison, a museum since 1970s

Washington [US], May 6: US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he has given instructions to the relevant authorities to reopen the notorious Alcatraz prison, which has been a tourist attraction and museum for over 60 years.
"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," Trump said on his Truth Social platform.
"The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE." In the past, the United States had not hesitated to keep the most dangerous criminals far away from anyone they could harm, Trump said.
"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," Trump said.
Known as "The Rock," Alcatraz was a maximum security prison located on a wind-swept island in the bay of San Francisco. For 29 years, the island served as a place of exile for the "worst of the worst," troublemakers and masters of escape. The last prisoners to be held there were released in 1963.
