The new rule gives Acting AG Todd Blanche total, unchecked authority to personally dictate where prisoners serve time.

https://social.vivaldi.net/@rogerc2738/116806521906106744


Former DOJ Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer has uncovered a massive, quiet policy change at the Bureau of Prisons (dated May 6) that completely strips away objective checks and balances for federal inmate placement.

The new rule gives Acting AG Todd Blanche total, unchecked authority to bypass standard BOP safety scoring and personally dictate where prisoners serve time.

The warning? Allies get fast-tracked to comfy halfway houses or home confinement, while political opponents or protestors could face unilateral placement in maximum-security prisons alongside violent offenders. No review.

No limits.This is the weaponization of the prison system hiding in plain sight, and it needs to be the central focus of Blanche's upcoming Senate confirmation hearings.
