Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in San Francisco Bay, California, plans to reopen as a functioning prison for the first time since 1963. Having served as a tourist attraction in recent decades, the facility will soon undergo significant renovations to meet modern requirements for maximum security incarceration. As reported in the SF Chronicle, the California Department of Corrections expects to receive its first new inmates by summer of next year.

I searched the internet for news about Alcatraz's reopening and all I could find was an April Fools joke from yesterday. I hope Daily Overview has not publicised a reopening based on an April Fools joke!
