Alcatraz has been run as a national park for decades now.
Edit: Apparently at least one PBS station aired Escape From Alcatraz the night prior to this announcement
For traitors and insurgents like Trump and his cronies? Fine with it. Heck, keep the touristy thing alive so people can see how to properly treat traitors. Add an information center about the dangers of fascism.
I can only imagine how long it would take to get it up to standards. Probably cost less to build a new prison.
Oh you sweet summer child.
What standards? Trump’s standards would just be some steel plating, drafty steel bars and a shed or two.
Edit:
Perhaps he wants to raze the current building, and put a full on camp on there
No rehab needed. Just dump people there and patrol the bay with armed boats.
I’m not expecting anything like “up to standards”
Soon to be followed by Shawshank and Oz.
What would a wizard need a prison for?
You fool! The prison is the best part of the tower!
The Rock is due for a reboot. Good call.
He’s like a little kid who made a wish to become emperor, and the world’s most irresponsible genie granted it.
Lmao what the fuck? It’s a goddamn tourist attraction now.
Isn’t that shit a fucking museum or something now? Like they do tours, for tourists, and shit?
Why can’t republican voters see how dumb he is? Dumb loves company… is that the phrase?
Based on one ex-acquaintance’s views, they don’t care if he’s dumb. They don’t even care if they have to “sacrifice” some of their own rights or conveniences…as long as a liberal suffers. As long as someone they disagree with is in pain, they’ll go to sleep at night smiling and laughing.
I wish I was joking. They’re fucking narcissists or sociopaths. Fuck them all.
Yes, and it’s nowhere near fit for service as a prison or much else other than tours.
There’s more bird shit than paint in most areas on the outside. It’s probably a 2 year minimum refit (at ludicrous expense) to return to service.
But I guess if it was a great prison when america was great … Then we have to reopen it?
Yes, it’s run by the national park service, and you can get a ferry ride to it and do a tour.
Anyone else remember the breakout scene in Robinhood Men in Tights? Seems like someone thought movie art should become reality…
Can we make him the first inmate???
Since the tourists stopped coming this makes perfect sense.
He’s a fucking idiot whose brain calcified in the 80s.
