Donald Trump has announced a dramatic plan to reopen Alcatraz as a maximum-security prison for the nation’s ‘most ruthless and violent offenders.’
Once home to infamous criminals like Al Capone, the island facility was shut down in 1963 due to high costs and aging infrastructure.
Trump says the move would serve as a powerful symbol of law and order, but critics point to logistical challenges and limited capacity.
The proposal faces scrutiny over cost, feasibility, and its potential impact on the historic landmark.
