Trump orders rebuilding and reopening of notorious Alcatraz prison in US

(Al Jazeera Media Network) United States President Donald Trump says he has ordered officials to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz, a notorious federal prison based on a small island in the state of California that has been shut for more than 60 years.

In a post on his Truth Social site on Sunday, Trump wrote he is “directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ” to house the US’s “most ruthless and violent Offenders.”

The directive was the latest move by the Republican to overhaul how and where federal prisoners and immigration detainees are locked up.
