The Bird Brain of Alcatraz
Trump orders reopening of Alcatraz prison
The big picture: Alcatraz was closed as a prison in 1963 because it was expensive to run and the U.S. government "found that it was more cost-effective to build a new institution" than to keep it open, per a Federal Bureau of Prisons post.
It's outdated, stripped of about everything, would be extremely expensive to rebuild, staff... What a birdbrain!
