Alligator Alcatraz: Florida’s Theater of Fear

In the Everglades, a detention camp became a message. Charles Randolph unpacks how Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” used environment and branding to market deterrence, why cruelty functioned as a sales pitch, and how theories of power (Foucault, Debord) reveal the shift from policy to performance.

You’ll learn:

• The camp’s rapid build and strategic setting
• How fear and imagery shaped public perception
• The intended audiences—and why each mattered
• The risks to human rights and the rule of law when spectacle normalizes extremes
