    4 months in club fed after after staging a coup and ignoring congressional subpoenas? Seems like an amazing deal.

      I was curious about where exactly Navarro is doing his time. I learned he’s in Mt. Pleasant Correctional Facility in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. I wasn’t able to find out too much about whether it’s a good prison or bad prison or whatever. From the satellite photo, it doesn’t look all that terrible, although I’m sure it’s not fun.

      While searching for that though, I did find out some things about FCI Miami where I think he originally reported and FDC Miami. Respectively:

      In 1986, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) thwarted a daring escape planned by two inmates at MCC Miami. Gary Wayne Betzner and Terry Jackson Briceno planned to be in the recreation area of their housing unit when a helicopter would fly overhead, drop a rope ladder, and help them escape. Instead, once the helicopter flew over them they spotted three FBI agents in the helicopter and several others on the grounds.

      Why you gotta mess with the prisoners like that (although that honestly is pretty funny)

      In June 2010, the facility’s security procedures prevented attorney Brittney Horstman from meeting a client when her underwire bra set off a metal detector. After returning from a bathroom without the item, she was turned away because of the detention center’s dress code.

      What the fuck

        The first one was probably trying to get them to try to escape in order to charge them with more crimes, because ACAB. And the second is plain-ole misogyny.

          I was all set to say well, I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong, if the FBI and the prison officials are keeping two criminals in the prison; that is their job even if it clearly seemed that they were having a little fun with this one. But… that was before I looked up what they were in for:

          Betzner, serving a 15-year sentence on a cocaine conviction, and Briceno, serving 18 months for importing and possessing marijuana, added attempted escape and conspiracy charges to their arrest records.

          If convicted on all charges, Briceno and Betzner each face a maximum additional penalty of 10 years in prison and a $15,000 fine.

          15 years for cocaine

          That’s most of your adult life

          And now it’s up to 25

          ☹️

            It’s natural to try to escape prison and that shouldn’t be a crime. As long as no one is injured in the process. Police tricking people into committing more crimes to lock them up longer, or just messing with them with the helicopter is just cruelty. ACAB.

      These insurrectionist cunts think “don’t go gentle into that good night” under any circumstances, builds their “rebel cred”
