IIRC, per treaty if Alcatraz stops serving as a prison it reverts to the Indians
And guess what the Indians want to do w/it? Just guess. I mean, take a WILD guess.

I’ll go with “what is…open a casino” but really just shooting from the hip.

A psychedelic retreat center for silicone valley workers?
And isn't ADX Florence supposed to be hell on earth? Why do we need a new one?

When I went on tour there I know various tribes occupied the island in the late 60s. Think it was a form of protest as I remember.

For all the judges and journalists we’re about to start rounding up. Get with the program guy.

Have a pow wow.

I don’t see any point in doing this. We have ADX Florence for those kind of prisoners. Seems like a waste of money and other resources.

Considering what it would cost to bring it back up to a workable condition for a super max and how much it cost to run when it was open, this seems like a ridiculous waste of money.
If there’s one thing we have plenty of in the US is active prisons. It’d just be cheaper to build another ADX Florence.

The irony is thick, because when we were a more serious nation we jailed convicted felons instead of electing them.
This boob continues to operate at the level of a petulant 12-year old…and his cult followers just eat it up.

Anyone who has ever visited Alcatraz would know you need to level it and start over in order to have a functioning modern prison that is safe for the corrections workers. It would be much cheaper to build another ADX either in Florence or somewhere else. We don't need water to prevent escapes from that level of prison, and no need to destroy a landmark and tourist attraction.

For an extra fee they could sadistically beat up prisoners

When we were a more serious nation, we would not bring trumped up charges against our political opponents just so we could say, "Mr. So-and-So is a convicted felon."

Alcatraz is closer than El Salvador.
I’m all for this.
