Trump orders the prison of Alcatraz to be reopened and expanded to accommodate the ‘Droesem of society’

President Donald Trump has sworn to rebuild and open Alcatraz while trying to fight against violent criminals and illegal migrants.

In a post shared on the Truth Social on Sunday evening, Trump said: “The reopening of Alcatraz will serve as a symbol of law, order and justice.”

Trump has dedicated the Bureau of Prisons to work next to the Ministry of Justice, FBI And Homeland Security to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt Alcatraz.

He said the notorious facility that once Kept the famous gangster al Capone, Will ‘House America’s most ruthless and violent perpetrators.’

The order comes as Trump repeatedly clashes with the courts while trying to send gang members and illegal migrants to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

The maximum security prison, which was closed in 1963, will offer Trump a solution to those judicial orders that prohibit him from carrying out the mass deportation schedule.

“We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, criminals and judges who are afraid to do their work and allow us to remove criminals who came in our country illegally,” he wrote and seem to suggest that illegal migrants are sent the first to prison.

Trump has also directed the opening of a detention center in Guantanamo Bay, CubaTo keep a maximum of 30,000 of what he has labeled the worst criminal aliens. ‘

Several judges have ruled that he must grant the appropriate process. Trump has also sent potential American citizens there and to other foreign prisons, but a new life of Alcatraz could also solve that problem if legal challenges occur.

“Too long America is plagued by cruel, violent and repeated criminal perpetrators, the droesem of society, who will never contribute anything other than misery and suffering,” he wrote.

‘When we were a more serious nation, we did not hesitate in the past to lock up the most dangerous criminals and keep them far away from everyone they could harm.

“That is the way it should be. We will no longer tolerate these serial offenders that spread dirt, bloodshed and chaos on our streets. ‘

Alcatraz was a maximum security federal prison off the coast of San Francisco, which was closed in 1963 after 29 years of operation.

Despite the accommodation of a large number of notorious prisoners, the prison was catapulted to make known in the 1996 film The Rock, starring Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage.

But one of the leading factors in the decision to close it forever was the costs of restoration and maintenance.

The Bureau of Prisons said at the time that it would have cost an estimated $ 3 million to $ 5 million to keep the doors open.

“That figure did not include daily operating costs – Alcatraz was almost three times more expensive to operate than any other federal prison (in 1959 the daily costs per head of the population at Alcatraz $ 10.10 was compared to $ 3.00 at USP Atlanta),” a spokesperson said the time.

The most important costs were due to the fact that Alcatraz was an island and all goods had to be sent.

“The island had no source of fresh water, so almost a million liters of water had to be blocked on the island every week,” said the spokesperson.

“The federal government found that it was more cost -effective to build a new institution than to keep Alcatraz open.”

After the announcement of the closure, signed by the American attorney -general Robert Kennedy, the population of Alcatraz was slowly reduced, with prisoners redistributed to other federal prisons.

There were 1,576 prisoners in Alcatraz at the time and it was notorious for its primative conditions.

On Sunday, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement that the agency “will meet all the presidential orders.”

In January Trump’s eldest son Don Jr. A message on X that suggests that Alcratraz had to be opened again – who appeals that he is behind the president’s last announcement.

“Now this is a great idea,” he said in response to news that Trump would send the worst criminals to Guantanamo Bay. “Maybe we should also reopen Alcatraz?,” He added.

Bank Roving Trio Frank Morris, Clarence Anglin and John Anglin escaped famous in 1962 and left dummy heads behind of plaster and human hair to fool the guards.

They were never found. Some suspect that they did not survive the ice -cold waters and strong currents, but their daring escape also led to wild theories that they had made it ashore and had adopted a new lives.

The brothers and Morris tunned their cells, crawled through ventilation channels and by an unguarded utility door before they fled smoothly in the bay of sharks.

Before Alactraz permanently closed its doors, there were a total of 14 separate escapes with 36 prisoners.

According to reports, 23 were captured, six were shot and killed during the attempt, two drowned and five were never found.

Historical photos reveal what life was like in the island-bound prison, also known as De Rots, from the Bare Bones cells to the bustling Mess Hall and the office of the bulletproof main guard.

In 1972, Alcatraz was added to the newly established Gate Gate National Recreation Area and was opened to the public as a historic monument in 1973.

Nowadays the former prison welcomes more than 1.5 million visitors a year.

Tickets are sold out almost every day, sometimes weeks in advance, for audio tours through the main cell block and the recreational rich plus the chance to walk along the gardens of the island and ruined buildings.
