Prisoners being held in solitary confinement as Ryan describes some of the details.
Ryan Bundy is making a phone call from prison describing the conditions he is living under.
The video at the link has the prison's phone number for those who wish to call and demand an end to the harsh conditions for the prisoners like Ryan and Ammon Bundy.
Ryan Bundy and his brother Ammon Bundy are among prisoners being held at the privately owned Southern Nevada Detention Center in Pahrump.
Ammon Bundy has reported being constantly strip searched when he goes into the prison yard daily in the midst of his solitary confinement for refusing to submit to searches.
Ammon was in court last Friday for a hearing about adding a new lawyer appearing in his underwear. Ammon refusing to dress himself after the guards forcibly removed his clothes for a search.
They and their father Cliven Bundy are scheduled to face trial later this year over the 2014 Bunkerville Standoff.
The protest in Oregon last year which put the Bundy's in jail in the first place was on behalf of the Oregon rancher's Dwight and Steven Hammond, who remain in a federal prison serving five year mandatory sentences as "terorrists" for lighting a backfire to protect their land from a brush fire.
The POTUS and his AG Jeff Sessions need to release the Hammonds from jail and get the prisoners in Nevada out of jail while they await trial.
I don’t see a problem here. All he had to do was say he was an illegal alien, and they would have released him on his own recognizance.
I am not spun up enough to render a credible opinion based on the facts (I have one, but opinions w/o facts are well, you know...).
However, it appears from this article and your comments that the Bundys are being made examples of. This is wrong.
There are people in jail who have done far, far worse who are not treated like this.
IIRC, the Bundys supported the Hammonds, who did not want their support or participation. I wonder if the Hammonds have changed their tune after seeing what the Bundys are going through?
“The POTUS and his AG Jeff Sessions need to release the Hammonds from jail and get the prisoners in Nevada out of jail while they await trial.”
Absolutely.
It was disappointing that this was not mentioned at all during the campaign (unless I missed it), and a shame it’s not being addressed now.
Clearly cruel and unusual punishment.
The protest in Oregon last year which put the Bundy’s in jail in the first place...
...
It was more than a protest. They were trying to take federal land through adverse possession.
I agree Jeff Sessions ought act ASAP to free these political prisoners of the Democratic Party,and Senator
Harry Reid. But Nevada is NOT a State equal to all others.
It —and the people who live there are owned by the Federal Government. Harsh Reality exposed Truth in this sad story!
“Ammon was in court last Friday for a hearing about adding a new lawyer appearing in his underwear.”
No defendant should ever have to endure being represented by an attorney appearing in his underwear.
The fact that they found a jury to convict on that charge tells you how far gone the Republic is.
Illegal aliens and jihadis get better treatment.
