Can you treat a traitor unfairly?

Yes! Anyone in the custody of the state should be treated with a minimum level of human decency, regardless of their crime.

I agree. I use to have a flawed idea of justice until someone on the internet pointed out to me, we have to make justice appealing. There needs to be hope for understanding and a better way of life otherwise the criminal will probably become a worse human being from the experience or even worse more crimes would end in murder suicides at the thought of going through such a horrible and hopeless future.

They could have moved him to a different facility instead of house arrest.

I agree. He’s specifically charged with assaulting LEO at the Capitol. He needs to be where the watchers are being watched. Does such a place exist?

It exists in the same place it does for everyone else who doesn't do Trump's bidding. This little shit got preferential treatment.

He was and then the COs at the jail fucked it up by not doing the bare minimum. He would still be in jail if the jail staff did their jobs like they are supposed to.

I strongly suspect that they either participated or looked the other way while other officers abused him; not by laziness.
