Right? That's exactly what I thought.

My baby brother, Justin, was in Arpaio's pink tent jail for several months and was bitten by a spider(?), it went septic and he was allowed out of jail for us (his family) to pay for his treatment. Gourd forbid the fuckers that allowed this to happen should pay for his treatment.

Prison and jail conditions are horrific.

What did these people expect? They expected future generations would see their face carved on the side of a mountain.

They maybe treated them like kings for five minutes. How long would it take for it to become obvious that these guys are just un-of-the-mill assholes who are more trouble than they're worth. Sure, the guards might agree with them on paper, but if they make their jobs harder, they'll just be more shitheads to deal with.

I suspect they mean that the prison guards are not forcing all the other inmates to wear things that white nationalists approve of.

Like, the prison guard refusing to assault the black guy in the Malcom X t-shirt and refusing to provide gang-like protection for them while they assault the guy feels like oppression to them.

The problem with this is that it doesn't seem to be the case. Several cops were quite happy to more or less usher the insurrectionists in to the capital even though that was definitely gonna make their life more difficult. On film, no less.

So he can **not** do the bible study he claims he's being denied.

Has he even READ the New Testament?

The conditions in the Patriots Wing may be improved as long as the insurrectionists are there. As soon as they're gone and the wing is depopulated, conditions in the jail will return to status quo ante, as the great majority of inmates will be of darker skin tone.

Guantanamo Bay Cuba is a detention facility that actually provides nutritional meals, routine sunlight exposure, top notch medical care, and is respectful of Religious Requirements. It has centers for exercise, and entertainment for the detainees, even though those detainees are Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Taliban that have actually killed American citizens.

As opposed to those at the Capitol on January 6, who... (checks notes)... actually killed American citizens!
