I think it's standard practice to hold new prisoners in solitary confinement.

So explain the heavy shackles and the schedule. Explain the lack of exercise.

There's a rumor that a pardon is in the works. Someone could be leaning on them to drop appeals and accept a pardon. If they accept a pardon, they'll always be pardoned ex-convicts, even if their rights are restored. Capiche?

This is about more than who shot at whom, or who ran from whom. Something really stinks here, and the fact that these guys are being leaned on in prison is a convincing whiff.

Same thing.

I think the entire reception phase lasts from 2 weeks to a month. And that is with a gradually increasing degree of "freedom."

If we had a prisons expert here, we could answer the question.

Make no mistake, I think those guys are unjustly imprisoned and deserve a pardon.

You have to remember that this is "our" Justice Department, meaning one under a conservative president.

Correct. It's about the cover up and obstruction of justice.
