Former FBI special agent Jonathan Gilliam suggested that President Trump consider San Clemente Island as the site for a new high-security prison, similar to Alcatraz. Gilliam believes the island's isolation and distance from the California coast make it an ideal location to deter criminals.
President Trump recently called for the reopening of Alcatraz, aiming to house the most dangerous criminals. However, Gilliam believes San Clemente Island could serve as an even better location for the prison.
Gilliam highlighted the Navy's use of San Clemente Island for training purposes, emphasizing the difficulty of access to the island. He argued that the isolation and unique characteristics of the island would create a significant deterrent for potential inmates.
While Trump's plan to reopen Alcatraz may send a strong message to criminals, Gilliam believes that San Clemente Island presents an opportunity for an even more intimidating prison facility.
