The Fulton County jail that booked former President Donald Trump last week reported its fourth inmate death this month on Tuesday.

The sheriff's department confirmed that the death took place on Saturday, but offered no other details, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

The Rice Street jail has come under intense scrutiny due to conditions at the facility and is currently the subject of a federal civil rights investigation. Earlier this month, three other inmates perished while in custody, including Alexander Hawkins, Christopher Smith, and Montay Stinson.

The Department of Justice launched its probe last month, citing allegations that "Fulton County Jail is structurally unsafe, that prevalent violence has resulted in serious injuries and homicides, and that officers are being prosecuted for using excessive force."

I'm a big supporter of criminal being punished for their actions. Also, repeat offenders who have proven they are unable to operate in civil society should be removed from that society for the safety of others.

That being said, it has been long known that Fulton County, Georgia maintains its jail in deliberately deplorable conditions. Many investigations have shown that they show and cruel disregard for the health of the inmates. In addition, the jail is continuously overcrowded in disregard of previous court orders that they need to reduce the number of inmates being held there.

The left and the media who previously decried the conditions at the facility on Rice Street now celebrate in glee at the thought of President Trump being locked away in such conditions.

Harrison Floyd? I have not heard any news but this:
“Judge Scott McAfee set Floyd’s bond at $100,000 total, with $40,000 for his racketeering charge, $30,000 for a charge of influencing witnesses and another $30,000 for a charge of conspiring to commit solicitation of false statements and writings.”
Was bond met?

Trump gets Secret Service protection, so he’ll be safe no matter where the Leftists (Ukraine War supporters) force him to campaign from.
