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.
I disagree. If the BP agents are innocent, they deserve nothing less than full exoneration, restoration to their duties, and back pay, plus an emolument for having stood up to malicious prosecution.
And let's not forget -- if they're innocent, then someone else needs to be in those cells. Starting with that roach, the drug smuggler Aldrete-Davila, and possibly extending to the U.S. Attorney's office.
If this all starts to unravel and there's a stink, look for Aldrete-Davila to turn up dead or "disappeared".
