USA - No Escape from Alcatraz 2.0 Joe Blogs
In this video I discuss Donald Trump's instruction to rebuild and reopen the high security prison Alcatraz. The original prison is located on an island in San Francisco Bay and has a tough reputation with no reported escapes. However it was closed in 1963 due to its high running costs and the amount of repair work that was needed. Will it be economically viable to rebuild and reopen the facility and how does it compare today to the other high security prisons in the USA?
