    Wasn’t that place at least as famous for successful escapes as it was for being a tough and scary place of punishment? If you’re whole bag is turning back the clock to a time you thought was tougher, more punitive and therefore somehow more effective at deterrence and your decisions are more cultural than rational; shouldn’t you pick somewhere not famous specifically for failing at it’s entire purpose of existence?

    Has he been there? Like it’s fuckin old. And small. Like really small. I don’t know if he can legally do that either. Since it’s a state park.

    He really is a profoundly stupid man. Everyone who supports him should be ashamed of themselves.

    So… You take a prison which:

    • Generates $60M yearly from being currently a museum;
    • Needs serious rebuilding and modernization;
    • Needs a way to be supplied with safe water, plus constant deliveries of all other necessities, likely by boat.

    And you get:

    • A prison which generates little to no revenue, while needing to be kept functioning.
    • Only has its name and somber history going in its favor, because “prisoners should be afraid of the historic evil prison”.

    Yes. Brilliant idea. Hopefully by the time the prison is ready Trump and his cronies get to be the first “tenants”. And whoever comes next declares the prison closed again and leaves them rotting there.

      Yes…?

      It was literally NEVER about the money being spent by the government. Anyone who actually believed that is by dictionary definition, dumb.

    The last thing that America needs is another jail. They have more jails and inmates than any other country on the planet. Also it would cost much more to refurbish Alcatraz than it would to build a new jail. The orange rapist is an idiot.
