President Trump States He Is
Looking Into Reopening Alcatraz
May 8. 2025
Donald Trump
This is a follow up to the January
23, 2009 article "Housing
Gitmo Detainees" where I
stated the U.S. government should reopen Alcatraz.
This week President Trump stated he is looking into
reopening Alcatraz, which is now a park and museum.
Some have been stating it would be too costly.
However, under former President Joe Biden crime went
through the roof in America, especially in states
such as California, where Alcatraz is located.
Alcatraz had such a name as a
notoriously tough prison with great security that no
one wanted to go there. Prisons with a reputation
for being tough act as a crime deterrent. Take for
instance El Cecot prison in El Salvador. The tough
and austere prison is being used to house El
Salvador's worst criminals and the image of the
harshness of El Cecot creates an optic that is a
crime deterrent.
As a result of President Nayib
Bukele's efforts in doing round ups and
incarceration of criminals in coordinated raids, El
Salvador's crime rate has dramatically dropped. They
have gone from having one of the worst to the lowest
crime rate in the Western hemisphere. The people of
El Salvador have expressed their thanks to the
government.
The worst criminals should have the
worst prisons. Imagine trying to rationalize putting
pedophiles, mass murderers and terrorists in cushy
prisons, where they lounge around and watch
television all day. No, put them to work in austere
conditions to repay their debt to society.

Trump alone on an island with plan to reopen
infamous Alcatraz
May 5, 2025.- California - In the
hours since President Donald Trump declared his
plans to reopen a “substantially enlarged” Alcatraz
to “house America’s most ruthless and violent
Offenders,” California politicians have nearly
universally derided the idea as a distraction, a
fantasy, or a farce. State Sen. Scott Wiener called
the proposal “absurd on its face.” Speaker Emerita
Nancy Pelosi described the idea as unserious, a
sentiment that current San Francisco Mayor Daniel
Lurie echoed at a news conference Monday morning. In
an interview, Nancy Tung, chair of the San Francisco
Democratic Party, said she viewed Trump’s plan as
“asinine.” “I’m kind of at a loss for words on
this,” Tung said. “The way for the country to
project strength is not by returning to the past.
The days of Alcatraz being a place for incarceration
have long since passed.”
Trump’s declaration marked another
pivot point in the strange and sordid history of
Alcatraz, a large rock about 1.5 miles offshore from
San Francisco. Originally a fort, the site was
briefly operated as a military prison before opening
as a federal penitentiary in 1934. Visitors to
Alcatraz Prison. Visitors walk the cell blocks at
Alcatraz National Park. Over the years, the prison
built a reputation for ruthless conditions that
challenged the sanity of its inmates. Escape was
nearly impossible and almost certainly deadly.
Punishment was frequent and usually brutal. Then, as
Trump hopes it will be again, the island was used to
house the country’s most violent and reviled
prisoners. In 1963, the prison was closed due to
high operating costs and better facilities
