Alcatraz could reopen as a 'state-of-the-art secure prison' under Trump's $152M budget request

The White House on Friday requested $152 million to begin reopening Alcatraz as an operational prison.

The funding proposal, included in the Trump administration's fiscal year 2027 budget request, would cover the initial phase of rebuilding the long-closed facility into what officials describe as a "state-of-the-art secure prison facility."
