- The US President Donald Trump planned to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the once-notorious prison island in the San Francisco Bay.
- Alcatraz - popularly known as "the Rock" - has not been used as a prison for decades.
- Originally it was built as a naval defence fort, but was rebuilt in the early 20th century as a military prison.
- In 1934, it was formally converted into a federal prison.
- It was ultimately closed by Attorney General Robert Kennedy in 1963.
- The island and prison are now a museum operated by the National Park Service.
