Trump published his ad on Sunday night, a few hours after the film’s film conclusion.
In a publication in the social site of his truth, Trump wrote that, “for too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent and repeated criminals, the Dregs of society, who will never bring anything more than misery and suffering. When we were a more serious nation, in the past, we did not hesitate to block the most dangerous criminals and keep them away from anyone who could harm them.
“That is why today,” he said, “I direct the Prisons Office, along with the Department of Justice, the FBI and the National Security, to reopen a substantially expanded and rebuilt alcatraz, to house the most rugged and violent criminals in America.”
Although it is impossible to know if Trump saw the movie over the weekend and whether or not it was his inspiration to propose to open the prison closed, it is enough to coincide that many online users indicate it.
“Guess what was on television in South Florida on Saturday night? The 1979 Clint Eastwood movie” Escape from Alcatraz. “The film was broadcast on WLRN TV, a public station that serves all South Florida, including West Palm Beach,” the user Molly Ploofkins wrote to X responding to a Fox News of Trump video why he wants to reopen the prison.
“Thank you. This clown saw the movie and came to work with this idea and the cowardly supporters of non -encouragement and those who are here defend this. It’s not a deterrent,” another user wrote.
Trump’s directive to rebuild and reopen the long -haul prison was the last salvation in his effort to review how and where federal prisoners and immigration detainees are closed. But this movement would probably be a expensive and difficult proposal. The prison was closed in 1963 due to the ruined infrastructure and the high repair and supply costs of the island installation, because everything, from fuel to food, had to be carried by boat.
Putting the installation on current standards would need to make mass investments at a time when the prisons office has closed prisons for similar infrastructure problems.
Prison, inescapable, due to the sharp ocean currents and the cold waters of the Pacific, was known as the “rock” and housed some of the country’s most notorious criminals, including the Gangster al Capone and George “Machine Gun” Kelly.
He has long been part of the cultural imagination and has been the subject of numerous films, such as “The Rock” starring Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage.
In the 29 years he was open, 36 men attempted 14 separate escapades, according to the FBI. Almost all were trapped or did not survive the attempt.
The fate of three private interns (John Anglin, his brother Clarence and Frank Morris) is debate and was dramatized in the 1979 film.
The island of Alcatraz is now an important tourist place that operates for the service of the National Park and is a national historic milestone.
