ISOLATION!

A summary of the recent legal history of former Representative George Santos.
*
- All of George Santos’s interviews are bound to catch up with him. Will his legal team be able to discuss and be honest with him regarding uncomfortable truths he must face?*

- Enablers. Will those around him be able to demonstrate his need to accept responsibility while having remorse for the victims he has harmed? This needs to be sincere as the Probation Office conducting the interview and the Judge both have Great “BS” detectors. If they catch him in a lie, it’s all over…
*
- I summarized that his lawyers didn’t do him any good, granted that George Santos sabotaged himself multiple times daily, so there’s enough blame for all. Ultimately, the judge agreed with the government.
*
- Accepting responsibility, expressing genuine remorse for the affected victims, and ultimately showing a sense of humanity is critical. However, despite these points, nothing substantial came from Mr. Santos.
*
- I firmly believe that his counsel’s memorandum ultimately harmed his position. George Santos offered them scant material to build a robust defense, and his numerous statements during press interviews only weakened his case further.
*
- Interviews and press releases were a Terrible Idea. Picking a fight and giving an ultimatum to the BOP, which is, in essence, a country unto itself (we see how that works out in El Salvador), is much worse for many reasons.
*
- The first and most basic, since DOGE has impacted all US agencies (which include the BOP), their already staff shortages were not only cut further, but at some of those facilities with the most violent offenders, had their salaries cut 10- 35%. These employees are only human, so why let them “know you’re coming (by giving them ultimatums) before you even get there? That gives them incentives (and other inmates) to look out for you.
*
Santos said he planned to request to be placed in isolation for his protection, or (5217.02 BOP Special Management Units).
*
- My non-legal opinion is that his attorneys obtain a written consent, notarized, that exempts the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) from any negative responsibilities regarding his medical, physical, or other health or non-related issues during his time in the 5217.02 BOP Special Management Units, recognizing that this may not be accepted by them or the courts. While this may not be possible, the idea arises from my years of experience writing surgery consent forms and the potential issues that could arise.

The Federal Prisoner Transit System—aka “Diesel Therapy.” One response the BOP has for troublemakers.g

- Hands and feet shackled together. There was no water or air conditioning, and the Southern summer heat was sweltering. “Just get in the bus and shut up, inmate,” was my response when I was picked up in Montgomery, Alabama. We finally arrived in Lovejoy, Georgia, and I was terrified. I had never been in a “real” jail before; this place had barbed wire and a guard tower. They kept about 30 of us inside a holding pen for hours.
g
- After a week, the call came to “pack my shit.” then back on the transport bus, which this time took me to a remote part of the Atlanta airport. There I saw more than 100 inmates, shackled, out on the tarmac—and U.S. Marshals with rifles. We were placed onto “Con Air,” the first of my 12 plane trips over the next 73 days.
h
- We landed in Oklahoma City, a hub for federal prisoner transit. There is an entire holding facility right near the airport to hold federal inmates, sometimes for weeks at a time. It was dirty and hot. They placed 36 men in one small pod, and we were stacked in bunk beds three high. A gang leader told us where we could sit.
