You're wondering why reopening Alcatraz is even being considered? I get why you're curious! It seems kinda wild since the place shut down mainly because of sky-high costs. I mean, back in 1963, the upkeep was just too much. They had to barge stuff like water and supplies to the island all the time. That's probably why it folded as a prison.
But check this out: President Trump is thinking about bringing it back, claiming it's some kinda "symbol of law, order, and justice."
Is it gonna be any cheaper now? Who knows! They might have some new plans cooked up, like fixing the old infra, but let's be real—it's still an island in the middle of the Bay.
What stands out is the nostalgia factor. It was once home to big names like Al Capone! Maybe people are thinking about the reputation and history.
In my opinion, it sounds like they're betting on the drama of it all. Hollywood loved it, so why not the government? Anyway, whether they'll pull it off, only time will tell. 🎭
