Does San Fran have gators?

Does San Fran have gators? No, but lots of sharks in the bay.

Terrible idea. Alcatraz was in bad shape when it closed. The walls had been weakened enough by the sea air, that's why Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers were able to tunnel out of their cells.
No doubt the infrastructure of the facility has only gotten worse since then.

I suppose the entire facility could be demolished and rebuilt. The location is certainly pretty secure.

They deliberately added hot water plumbing in the past so the inmates’ bodies wouldn’t be accustomed to the cold water and survive the hypothermia of the cold water in an escape.

If anybody escapes the island and make it back to land, they’d have to deal with piles of human feces, used needles, homeless, and other disturbed individuals. Seems like it would be less of a hassle just to stay in prison.

The entire West is full of uninhabited federal land. Built a large, new complex that would provided work there. Alcatraz is a waste in many forms, especially with it being in California.

Very Bad Idea... very costly asbestos removal, logictic nightmare, not rehab friendly.
Probably more fiscally responsible to lay one out in Nev or Utah.

Growing up, my next door neighbor worked in Alcatraz as a corrections officer after World War II.
By then, the salt water had corroded the steel and decayed the concrete severely, some places were so decayed they were closed off for safety reasons. The birds had even taken over some of it and would attack anyone going into their turf.
Alcatraz would need complete ground up rebuilding to make it any more than a museum.
Trump likes to talk this way to shake things up and rattle people, he knows there is no way Congress will go along with this.

Even if they don’t pan out.
Who would have thought we’d have Alligator Alcatraz just 6 weeks ago?

Use the money he just saved from the Railway boondoggle recession to pay for it.
To: Libloather
Money would be better spent in the far, far end of the Aleutian chain.

Don’t see it happening. Bondi/Bergum-good way to get the conversation started but a mini-junket paid for by us?
