Trump's $2 Billion Plan to Reopen Alcatraz Moves Forward

President Trump is considering converting Alcatraz into a maximum-security prison with an estimated cost of up to $2 billion, though no final decision has been made. The plan has faced criticism and is driven more by symbolism than necessity, with options including a supermax prison, a scaled-back facility, or private construction. The project faces logistical, environmental, and financial challenges, and is still in early planning stages.
