My hope is that he signs the pardon before she testifies, and then she burns him down on the stand.

As if she would.. She will just do what she do best, just not for Epstein, but for mr president himself, I fear…

Why would he pardon her? Prison is sheer hell and she got a huge upgrade. Fuck around and they can take that back. They got all the leverage they need without the screams of outrage a pardon would bring.

Prison really is not that bad - especially federal prison. It's boring but if you are poor, so is regular life. Don't pay rent, don't pay for health care, get 3 square meals that are about as shitty as shelter food. The gang violence stuff is pretty easy to avoid overall - again, especially in federal prison. State prisons are crappier in most states.

How much prison time have you served in state and federal prisons, if I may ask?

Forgive me for asking, it's just to judge how much direct experience you have with what you're claiming to be knowledgeable on.

There are sadly a lot of people in the Internet who would say such things without ever having actually experienced them firsthand, and it's important we educate ourselves on the difference. Thanks!

I think calling it “hell” is a bit silly. It’s only hell if you are a loud mouth idiot who can’t stop getting into drama. Is being out with a good job better, yes. But TV and the news dramatize it drastically. You basically sit around and read / watch TV most of the time in medium security. I think most people would be surprised how much less terrible it is than it’s hyped to be. If I had to choose prison or being incredibly poor / homeless - I’d choose prison.

Not going to go into to detail as this is a public forum but I have years of experience, yes.

Sure, but she knows it as well, and I doubt she'd risk her life thusly.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah :(

I think shalafi's right though; keeping her in rich comfortable prison is how they're going to control her
