His cellmate googling Can I get syphilis sharing a toilet with Bannon

Imagine being stuck in a cell with him, lmao. That's cruel and unusual punishment.

He’s likely going to minimum which means he wouldn’t have a cell mate.

What’s really insane is that he’s fighting this hard in a four month sentence in minimum. Martha Stewart faced the same thing and breezed through it.

He doesn't qualify for minimum, as he has other charges pending against him.
From CNN:

The prison in Connecticut where Bannon will live houses a large number of white-collar criminals, but it also may house violent and sex offenders in its men’s population.

It doesn’t have cells, and instead houses its inmates in open pods. Yet it does have a noticeable barrier — referred to colloquially as “the wall” — between the prison facility and the outside world, which prison camps don’t have.

More than 1,000 male prisoners are in the Danbury facility. Its much smaller adjacent prison camp for women was immortalized in a former prisoner’s memoir that inspired the TV show “Orange is the New Black.”

Oh, how sad. /s

His prison will actually have a wall between him and the outside world. Kind of ironic since he stole all that money to build the wall. He's getting one for free now.

If he's smart, his next call will be to the ACLU. This clearly falls under cruel and unusual punishment.
