Let him watch all the television he wants. Stop letting him interact with people and things.

Has he been there? Like it's fuckin old. And small. Like really small. I don't know if he can legally do that either. Since it's a state park.

Idk, it looked pretty big in the documentary The Rock. Maybe they still have some nerve gas there too.

When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals

I don't know, SOAD radicalized me when I was a teenager and I would say that this is bullshit from a criminological point of view.

He didn't announce it reopening, he said he wanted it to be reopened. Shit headline.

Is he reopening Jurassic Park? 🤭

The last thing that America needs is another jail. They have more jails and inmates than any other country on the planet. Also it would cost much more to refurbish Alcatraz than it would to build a new jail. The orange rapist is an idiot.

I propose a movie about dinosaurs released in San Diego.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The same PBS he wants to cut ahahaha

Aren't films like this always showing somewhere?

Sundowning…

That man has dementia.

Wasn't that place at least as famous for successful escapes as it was for being a tough and scary place of punishment? If you're whole bag is turning back the clock to a time you thought was tougher, more punitive and therefore somehow more effective at deterrence and your decisions are more cultural than rational; shouldn't you pick somewhere not famous specifically for failing at it's entire purpose of existence?
