Are they turning on you all now? Bailing out, justifying crime for a year. Scared of them now?

Making space for the looters and traitors

Bc the guards on their way to DC to protest the government not locking people of color up fast enough. Bc these are the guards that beat non violent protestors that were not white supremacy sympathizers.

This country deserves to be a 3rd world nation.

Aren’t prisons always in lockdown? And how are they a threat to the inauguration? This is just more made up drama

I feel sorry for those white racist white boys in the texas prison during the 9 yrs flat I was their I've seen white doys raped beaten after the Larry bird incident, so don't lock it down let them get what's coming to them

Seems....redundant. How about putting that money towards making them safer for COVID-19 instead.

I bet most inmates in federal prisons are more normal and less violent than Trump’s mob that ransacked the US Capitol!

th1an1 They locked them down ontop of their lockdown

Stop the steal

Isn't the concept of a prison to be in perpetual lockdown

Says a lot about the makeup of Trumps death squad.

Trapping people of color in with armed & emboldened MAGATerrorists is a deadly mix! Our system is absolutely corrupt & vile! They’re determined to increase the body count for TraitorTrump I hope it backfires BIGLY and racists take ALL the losses!

Prisons are always on lockdown. They’re prisons.

Aren’t prisons always on lockdown? Isn’t that kinda the point of a prison? 🤔

It's the people outside of the prison who are the problem.

Aren’t prisons always under lockdown?

How come no talk of Obamagate?

Just make sure you have enough prison beds for the Insurrectionists 🇺🇸

This one throws me. What do they think the people who are locked up are gonna do? It's the ones who have been wandering free, like certain Senators and Congresswomen (and men) who should be locked down.
