Thoughts on Alcatraz Island
When I was doing lobbying professionally i always had a dream to tear down all the old buildings on Alcatraz and either return it to the local tribes or turn it into a community/cultural event site.
It pisses me off that we stole such an important piece of land from the local tribes and turned it into a prison then when we were done with the prison we turned it into a museum to human suffering, and it’s long since been a museum of a prison for longer than it was a prison.
Just curious if anyone else sees Alcatraz in that light and if you’d support or oppose such an effort. If Alcatraz weren’t a museum of a prison what would you like to see done with it?
