Donald Trump announced plans to reopen Alcatraz as a maximum security prison to detain violent and repeat criminals, drawing inspiration from the film Escape From Alcatraz, which aired recently. In his statement, Trump criticized the current state of criminal justice, asserting the need to protect society from dangerous offenders. He emphasized Alcatraz as a symbol representing both beauty and decay, noting the historical significance of the site. Despite its closure in 1963 due to financial and structural challenges, Trump advocates for its revival as a correctional facility through various governmental collaborations.
"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."
"Right now, it's a big hulk that's sitting there rusting and rotting... It sort of represents something that's both horrible and beautiful, and strong and miserable."
