    Not surprising, but what was she in prison for in the first place, you don't get a lot of rights when you are in prison already.

    A one year sentence for theft. Quite a difference than Maxwell's charges.

    Yeah, but she has to know this group is PETTY - and she took a risk, should have waited until she was out.

    Like I said, they want to hush up anyone. As for country club prisons, I've always been against that BS. Criminals don't deserve it easy. Maybe if white collar criminals had it rough under lockup they would be more deterred. I remember years ago playing in a softball tournament at a big AFB in Florida with one of those special prisons for white collar criminals. It disgusted me seeing those prisoners walking around freely around the field and stands. Gave me the creeps.

    Regardless, someone like Maxwell should never be given special treatment. Her crimes were the types that should have her fearing for her life in a violent prison.

    yeah, but why is it a “scandal” for Trump to have sex with a black woman?

    I don't consider myself a liberal. I'm more of a moderate who has voted for for both Republicans and Democrats, but I would never vote for any MAGA party member in the future, that's for sure. They are spineless butt kissing cowards and liars, aiming to please their master regardless of how horrible his policies are.

    My point about any criminals is that they shouldn't get special accommodations in country club prisons because of their status in society, or how much money they make. Throw the white collar criminals into the same prisons as all others who break the laws. If the crime was big enough to be charged with a prison sentence then they don't deserve to be treated better than anyone else who got a prison sentence.

    we're basically all liberals in the classic, English liberalism sense of the term.

    That's where the "cruel and unusual punishment" norm comes from
