They also eavesdrop on your “confidential” lawyer meetings and know in advance your arguments.
Another thing they no longer have even in prisons is access to legal books.
Suppossedly you can request a book from your lawyer but have no way of knowing what books are even out there.
That is why bail reform is and was needed. They just let you sit there forever until you sign a plea. Meanwhile if their case is weak they will try to get you on something while you are locked up like me.
They held me 15 months in county on aggrevated felony assault for a one punch jail fight. I knocked a dude out that kept coming to my bunk fucking with me on video for over half an hour.
He wouldn’t go to the showers with no cameras.
He flew across the dorm and smacked his head and started chicken winging.
The natives that were doing pushups on video were laughing their asses off.
Our judicial system is super fugged and third world or worse.
Unless of course you are rich and powerful that is.
The only good thing was my video became viral amongst jail staff for best one hitter quitter.
The guards knew I had no money on my books so they got girls from A pod to write me and used to bring me rich kids commissary they couldn’t take to prison so I had shoes and a thermal, and good hygiene stuff.
After the fight I was red banded and put on Security Threat Group Status so I went to court all shackled out and had my own 6 man cell with a tv and shower and day room.
Then they charge you $1 a day for puke food so if someone does put money on your books they take half of it.
America is not about reform, we turn people into monsters and send them to gulag death match pits and treat them like animals. For the most silly charges they trump up for big convictions.
America literally hates it’s citizens unless you are rich.
I used to talk to essays that said our jails are worse than many even in mexico.
