Attorney General Pam Bondi and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum visited the former federal prison Alcatraz in California on July 17, following President Donald Trump’s order to reopen the island prison to house the nation’s most dangerous criminals.
Alcatraz, located off the coast of San Francisco, served as a federal prison from 1934 until its closure in 1963 due to high operational costs. Since then, it has been managed by the National Park Service and opened to the public as a tourist site.
