Sure, we don't know they never leave. We do know they have no fixed terms, their stay is indefinite and at the discretion of their jailers. That is a violation of any human's rights. If you're judged to have done something so egregious to merit life withour parole, you know it. Otherwise, you know what you owe. 1/

@Phil @jbouie @jeffjarvis All the J6 people had full due process. That doesn't mean I agree with all the prosecutions and outcomes — had I had the discretion of a prosecutor, I might have been more lenient with low-level nonviolent trespassers. But they got lawyers, trials, rights-of-appeal, etc. They did time because they did the crime, even if you think the circumstances of their crime should have exonerated them. /fin
