The dude is stupid. You could open 10 (or more) new prisons for the cost of refurbishing the crumbling ruin that is Alcatraz. Then there are the operational costs which would follow about the same ratio.
Alcatraz was originally closed because it was extraordinarily expensive to run and it wasn’t very useful given the alternatives.

Sounds like Trump.
You’re all missing the point here:
California isn’t giving proper respect, they have to be taught a lesson.
So, end the global film industry, put a nightmare prison right in sf bay, and just gradually make it clear they can’t ignore Trump and pretend he doesn’t exist.
Wasn’t one alleged point of DOGE was to reduce government waste? Alcatraz was closed due to it being a ridiculously expensive prison. Much more than any other prison at the time.
It was this, not the famous escape of 1963 that caused it to close.

the insects turn is coming up. Probably sooner than we think. Thats if the AI doesnt get them first.
Someone go jingle your keys in front of the orange dunce…
He must have saw something on arcatraz lately and his stupid addled brain got stuck on it. Good god I hate this timeline.
Story from The Independent on May 5:
Trump announced Alcatraz reopening just hours after ‘Escape from Alcatraz’ aired on a South Florida PBS station
The 1979 film starring Clint Eastwood about the daring 1962 escape attempt aired on the local PBS channel just six hours before the president made his demand that the prison be reopened

Something to waste time discussing that is not devoted to more important things…
“They’re trying to build a prison!”
“For you and me to live in!”
“They’re trying to build a prison!”
“FOR YOU AND ME!”
Fucking LOL. He obviously has never been there.
Are we going to send VX gas?

Cheaper to just build one in west Texas.
Cheaper and just as cruel to just bus them to West Texas.
He wants to use the brand recognition as an intimidation tactic.
Nothing meaningful will happen with this during Trump’s lifetime.
Time for the next dead cat.
For his political enemies?
“Can’t stop, won’t stop”
