Reopening Alcatraz isn’t justice—it’s Trump’s idea of a strongman shrine. A grotesque, wasteful throwback designed to stoke fear and glorify cruelty.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about control.

Donald Trump Wants to Reopen and Expand Infamous Alcatraz Prison

Trump announced plans Sunday to reopen and expand the historic Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary to house "America's most ruthless and violent Offenders."

"Hello Dan, it's Joe here
I hope you're keeping well
It's the 21st of December
And now they're ringing the last bells
If I get good behaviour
I'll be out of here by July
Won't you kiss my kids on Christmas Day?
Please don't let 'em cry for me."

- Paul Kelly (1996)
