So when Lakin goes to prison, is it common for men in Leavenworth to take a beating at the hands of other inmates? I dont know anything about Leavenworth. Do you think they will separate him from others for being a political prisoner? It might not look good if he's killed after confronting the leader off the free world, simply asking for a routine document. Well, I guess we are not the leader anymore. We are now more of a Socialist Communist Follower nation.

Never having been there I couldn't say. But I suspect that the Army runs a tight ship. Lakin should be fine.

I'm sure he'll be in the general population with the other inmates.

Lakin will be free to continue his quest once he's out of the Army entirely. As he should have done to begin with.

Speaking for yourself, of course.

No, violence at the disciplinary barracks (USDB)is rare, not completely unheard of, but almost. Military prisons are NOT civilian prisons, in almost every way. Other than the bars and locks on the doors, they bear almost other no similarities to their civilian counterparts. They're remarkably clean (especially Leavenworth, which isn't even 10-years old), very well run, and prisoner discipline is maintained, but it's done so in a respectful way. Despite what happened at Abu Grahib (which was staffed by reservists), active-duty military prison guards are incredibly professional. Plus, it's really not that big, at all. More similarly sized to a county jail of a moderately sized county.

I will say that one downside to Leavenworth is that a surprising number of confinees are there on sexual-assault related convictions. This is dissimilar to a civilian prison where the plurality of prisoners are incarcerated because of drug offenses. So, your chances of sharing a cell with a person convicted of rape, are much greater at USDB, compared to a civilian prison.

Political prisoner - LOL. Oh man, you're killing it. Who they seperate are the violent offenders,
