    The strength of the bars was never Alcatraz’s selling point. It’s the location.

      Well the bars kind of need to have a particular bit of strength to prevent prisoners from taking over the place.

      This is still about the location, but not in the way you’d expect. It’s near Hollywood so movies were made about it and it’s the next most notorious American prison after Guantanamo that Trump has heard of. I guarantee this is his Plan B after Guantanamo didn’t work out.

        The prison camp isn’t where they want to hold them. It’s the Guantanamo Bay’s Migrant Operations Center where they want to hold them. It suffers the same issues at Alcatraz, so either way they want to slice the bread here, they have to go through a set of hoops to get it to any kind of position to hold long term prisoners.
