Trump plans to reopen Alcatraz, infamous prison could see new inmates after 60 years

US President Donald Trump has announced plans to reopen one of America’s most infamous prisons—Alcatraz. Located on a rocky island in San Francisco Bay, the prison has been closed for over 60 years and now serves as a tourist museum. The White House, however, is seeking to turn back time and restore it as a federal prison once more.
