Washington, D.C. --
- The commander-in-chief says, 'REBUILD, and OPEN ALCATRAZ!'
President Donald Trump is calling for the notorious prison and now historical landmark, Alcatraz, in San Francisco, California, to be rebuilt larger and reopened to house the country’s most ruthless and violent criminals.
Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday evening.
"REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!" the president said. "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.
"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," Trump continued, adding that it's supposed to be this way. "No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets."
The President said he is directing the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice, FBI and Department of 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," he said in the post. "The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
Alcatraz opened in 1934, but the prison, located on a 22-acre spit of rock, was shut down after 29 years.
It currently lays in ruins and we are told it's in "bad shape."
Alcatraz ultimately closed in 1963 after its island operations proved far more costly than mainland-based prisons.
Its most notorious inmates included gangsters James "Whitey" Bulger, Al Capone and George "Machine Gun" Kelly, plus infamous "Birdman of Alcatraz" Robert Stroud and "Public Enemy No. 1" Alvin Karpis.
Could we see some Federal judges be thrown into the newly refurbished Alcatraz?
