Trump Requests Millions from Congress to Rebuild Alcatraz Prison

U.S. President Donald Trump has requested millions of dollars from Congress to rebuild the historic Alcatraz prison facility. The prison, located on the infamous island in San Francisco Bay, would have a capacity of 336 inmates if reconstructed. Alcatraz operated as a federal penitentiary from 1934 to 1963 and housed some of America's most notorious criminals before being closed and later converted into a tourist attraction. The request suggests a potential shift in federal corrections policy, though specific details about the intended use of the rebuilt facility or the exact funding amount have not been disclosed.
