What if Alcatraz were used to hold upcoming trials, including temporarily housing those awaiting trial?
You've gotta admit that from an optics standpoint it would really be a narrative banger. Not to mention that its location would make it impossible for protesters to gather/riot outside wherever else said trials might have taken place.
The tell is that fully restoring the facility would cost far more than $152M… a lot more. This feels more like the kind of money needed to tidy up the place and refurbish the cell block.
Alito Taken to Hospital After Falling Ill at Federalist Society Dinner Last Month
Conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was rushed to a hospital last month after a Federalist Society dinner in Philadelphia, CNN reported.
Alito, who just turned 76, was treated for dehydration after he fell ill (food poisoning?).
Details about the medical emergency were not disclosed.
In the two weeks since the medical incident, Samuel Alito has been on the bench and has attended oral arguments.

“Out of an abundance of caution, he agreed with his security detail’s recommendation to see a physician before the three-hour drive home,” the Supreme Court said in a statement, The Hill reported.
“After that examination and the administration of fluids for dehydration, he returned home that night, as previously planned,” the high court said.
