The refurbished prison would house ‘America’s most ruthless and violent offenders’, US president says
Donald Trump has ordered the US Bureau of Prisons to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the notorious former prison off the coast of San Francisco.
In a message posted on Truth Social, his online platform, on Sunday night, the US president announced his plan to turn the small island into symbol of law and order, to deter “vicious” criminals whom he called the “dregs of society”.
“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,” Mr Trump wrote.
“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. That’s the way it’s supposed to be.
“That is why, 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.”
He added: “The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.”
