MAGA Rioter Jenna Ryan Says She Was 'Tortured' in Prison Because She Couldn't Use Her Phone

?w=1200&ssl=1

Jenna Ryan flew to Donald Trump’s January 6th event on a private plane. The Texan claimed that she wouldn’t go to jail because she was white. Ryan was wrong, though, and was sentenced to 60 days in prison. The realtor said of her looming imprisonment, “The only thing that I can see that’s good about having to go to prison is that I’m going to be able to workout a lot, and do a lot of yoga and detox.

........

Her time in jail, though, wasn’t as easygoing as she thought it might be. Not out of prison, Ryan tweeted this weekend, “I could not share any of this until now–now that I’m out of prison and the risk of torture is over. YES I was tortured in prison.”

.............

When asked about the “torture,” Ryan responded, “They’re using COVID to sadistically abuse all the inmates and deny basic human needs like sunshine, phone, food. No human deserves what they’re doing in Federal Prison to every inmate. If people knew what was happening, there would be major reform action.

It is called prison for a reason. You don't get to come and go as you please, you don't get to use
your phone, and the food is not all that good too.

Authoritarian conservatives like her believe crime should be punished harshly and can usually be counted on to oppose attempts to make prisons more humane or progressive. Coddling prisoners just encourages more crime.

Which is what had me chuckling, Walleye. She's "woke" enough to realize that most people would expect some call for "reform" to accompany complaints about her own tribulations.

who implored police not to protect arrestees heads when placing them in automobiles, effectively inviting law enforcement officers to be brutal.

"Don't be too nice", he bleated.

White privilege oozes from her pores. No doubt she expects a total redecoration of her prison suite, a skylight, and a rotating daily meal selection delivered by a uniformed butler. Has her wide screen TV been delivered yet?

(plus it improve morale, which makes life easier for the guards.) That's why the prison has a phone system set up for inmates to use (for a fee.)

Jenna just can't stop her little self!!! So now it is going to be all about prison reform!!! She and the owner of North Dallas hair salon, Shelley Luther, need to join forces. Cruz already visited Shelley for a cut, I'm sure Jenna is going to be seeing Cruz soon.

I have not yet had a cup of coffee, so I'm not going to say anything more. But I think I'm going for a Bloody Mary instead!!

I never knew a phone was a basic human need!!

Dear Lord Almighty!!!!

The other inmates probably had their 8th amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment violated for having to be in the same facility as her.

let me take a wild case and say that this experience has not worked to shed one iota of this woman's sense of entitlement.

i do think our prisons and jails do treat inmates horribly. As if just being locked up and deprived of the freedom to leave isn't punishment enough. what i'm talking about is not her experience however.

but she did reveal her name...I suspect that she's now going to have to face everybody else for the rest of her life, explained her 'torture' remark while in prison, which she alone, earned. No one else put her there. If it was a torture, she bought it on herself.

If you can't do the time, don't do the deed.
