In a surprising move, President Donald Trump has instructed the federal Bureau of Prisons to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz, the infamous penitentiary famously depicted as inescapable. This directive arrives amidst severe staff shortages, a backlog in repairs, and escalating violence within the prison system.
Alcatraz, long since retired and transformed into a tourist attraction, represents a daunting task for prisons director William K. Marshall III. With its historical significance and national landmark status, the facility will require nuanced coordination with multiple agencies.
As the Bureau tackles pervasive issues, this bold Alcatraz plan intensifies scrutiny on the agency, which faces challenges ranging from infrastructure damage to understaffing and growing pressure to detain more immigration offenders.
