Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Seeks $152M To Reopen Alcatraz Prison
Caption: Trump Seeks $152M To Reopen Alcatraz Prison. President Donald Trump is seeking $152 million to reopen Alcatraz Island as a high-security prison. The plan is part of a broader $1.7 billion investment in the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. Alcatraz, once one of America’s most notorious prisons, has operated as a tourist attraction since its closure in 1963. The proposal aims to rebuild the facility into a “state-of-the-art” prison for high-risk offenders. Critics, including Nancy Pelosi, have called the plan “absurd” and a waste of taxpayer money. Concerns include high operating costs and logistical challenges, as supplies must be transported by boat. The site currently generates significant revenue as a tourist destination managed by the National Park Service. The proposal will require approval from Congress before any redevelopment can begin.
