Imprisoned former Border Patrol agent Ignacio Ramos not only is being held in prison for trying to halt a fleeing drug smuggler, he's being held in solitary confinement treated as if he were Charles Manson, a relative told WND in an exclusive interview.
Joe Loya, Ramos' father-in-law, told WND that Ramos is being held in conditions usually reserved for extraordinarily dangerous or trouble-making inmates.
"They have Ignacio in a 6 foot by 12 foot cell," Loya told WND in a telephone interview from El Paso. "There are no bars, just a steel door, and no window. He has no television and nothing to do. He is fed in his cell and let out only for one hour after 23 hours in the cell. He is then taken to a room with a television where he is allowed to watch the TV for an hour before he is returned to solitary confinement."

Probably the safest place for him in a prison full of Latino gangsters.

Border Patrol agent held in solitary confinement Because he knows too much about the NAFTA Super Highway.

I hear this is usual for incarcerated federal officers. It protects them from the other inmates.

Geez. First they complain that if you put him in with the general population is life will be in danger. And then when they segregate him they complain about that as well.

They only do this temporarily until the prisoner gets settled and all the paperwork comes through. He and his family know this.

They can keep him safe in more appropriate conditions. This is uncalled for punishment.

Have you read the specifics of the case?
They shot the suspect in the back.
The picked up the spent shells.
They failed to report the shooting.
This is a nation of laws and even LEO's are required to follow those laws.

It's not about keeping him safe. All prisoners go through this. We had a young friend in trouble with drugs and had to spend some time in prison. He had to go though this same procedure.

I have yet to figure out why so many FReepers can't distinguish between the back and the butt.

I am less concerned about back or butt than I am about the agents attempting to cover up the shooting.
And for now I will will support the Bush appointed Federal Prosecutor on the case as well as the President who has decided not to Pardon the agents in question.
