US President Donald Trump has announced to reopen the Alkatraj Jail. He said on social media on Sunday that he will keep the most dangerous criminals here. Trump said that he has ordered the Justice Department, FBI and Homeland Security to prepare Alkatraj together.
Trump said that reopening Alkatraj means really restored law and order. The US recently tied up with the Central American country Al Salvador to keep violent criminals and illegal immigrants.
Trump said that keeping dangerous criminals in the country becomes a compulsion as many ‘miscreants judges’ repeatedly call the prisoners to appear during the hearing of the case. This increases the burden on the country.
America’s most dangerous criminals kept in this jail
Alkatraj was counted among the strict jails in the US, where the most dangerous prisoners were kept. It is also known as ‘The Rock’. It is located on an island in San Francisco Bay, California. This jail continued to be used from 1934 to 1963. It was discontinued due to much expenditure and maintenance problems.
The prisoners were kept under strict supervision here. They were not allowed to talk among themselves. Many prisoners were kept in a dark room alone for months. Because of this, the prisoners living there got mental illnesses. Many people committed suicide in jail.
In this prison, Italian-American mafia kingpin al Capon, notorious gangster George ‘Machine Gun’ Kelly, Robert Strawud were kept. Strawud wrote a very popular book ‘Digest on the Disease of Birds’ on birds while staying in this jail. After this he was named ‘Birdman of Alkatraj’.
Every prisoner was kept in a separate cell in Alkatraj Jail.
63 years ago, the most popular anecdote to escape from jail
Many prisoners tried to escape from jail, most of whom were killed or caught. The most talked about escape from Alkatraj was on 11 June 1962. Frank Morris, John Angelin and Clarence Angelin escaped from the prison.
The story of the escape of these prisoners began in the year 1960 when a prisoner named Frank Morris was brought to jail. He befriended three more prisoners living in this jail, John Anglin, Clarens Anglin and Allen West. In December 1961, all four planned to escape from jail.
Actually he saw that there is a fake in the ventilation made in the jail room, where it can be taken out. The jail was built on an island. Cement was weakened due to high humidity, due to which the lattice could be easily removed.
The three prisoners escaped from jail on the night of 11 June 1962. They were never seen again.
Digged with a spoon and absconded from jail, made a boat from Renkot These four prisoners excavated with spoon and drill in their cell and made a way to the ventilation shaft. To escape, he created a boat by adding more than forty raincoats. They used hot pipes to add it.
To cheat the security personnel, he placed fake heads made of paper, hair and soap on his bed to make it feel that they were sleeping.
On the night of June 11, the prisoner came out of the tunnel built in the cell and reached the roof of the jail and then came down with the pipes and went to the beach. However, one of these prisoners Alan West could not do so. It is said that he could not remove the plaster from the wall at the last moment. After this, the rest of Kedi escaped from jail.
He took his raincoat boat into water and tried to cross the sea. Although he could not know whether he could do this or not. No body was found.

The FBI report claimed that their boat would have drowned in the sea. But relatives of the three of them said that the three were in touch even after absconding. A year after the incident, Alkatraj was closed. It has now become a popular tourist destination. Every year about 1.2 million people come to see it.
