President Donald Trump says he is directing his government to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the notorious former prison on a hard-to-reach California island that has been closed for more than 60 years.
President Trump says he will direct federal agencies to "reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt Alcatraz," a facility that for decades was a federal prison and is now a national park in SF.
Alcatraz closed as a penitentiary in 1963 because of expensive operating costs. nbcnews.to/42KQura
