18 Associates of Former President Trump May Temporarily Face Poor Conditions at Georgia Detention Center
The New York Times (NYT) reported on the 16th (local time) that 18 close associates of former US President Donald Trump, facing fraud accusations in Georgia, may find themselves temporarily imprisoned at the Fulton County Detention Center. This detention center is notorious for its substandard conditions, including a prevalent bedbug and lice infestation.
The local sheriff in charge of overseeing the detention center has declared that even high-profile defendants, such as Trump’s former personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, and former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, will be treated no differently than other inmates within the facility. As a result, they will undergo standard procedures like physical examinations, fingerprinting, and being photographed for mugshots.
Just a few weeks ago, the US Department of Justice had announced an investigation into the detention center following allegations of it being an extremely unsafe and unsanitary environment. In preparation for the appearance of these defendants, media outlets were barred by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office from staying near the facility on the 16th.
Fanny Willis, the Fulton County Attorney who has charged Trump and others, has requested the presence of all 19 accused by noon on the 25th. The Sheriff’s Office stated on the 15th that “all 19 defendants” will be held in accordance with the guidelines issued by the District Attorney’s Office and the presiding judge at the Fulton County Jail. However, it is anticipated that former President Trump himself will follow the decisions of the Secret Service.
It is worth noting that when Trump appeared after being indicted by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office earlier this year, he was exempted from procedures such as being handcuffed or subjected to a smokescreen.
Once imprisoned at the detention center, the accused will subsequently appear in court to enter their plea. Unfortunately, in recent weeks, two inmates have been found dead in their cells at the Fulton County Jail. Shockingly, one deceased prisoner discovered last year had been covered in lice and bitten by bedbugs.
The appalling conditions of this detention center have even served as inspiration for musical artists, with at least two songs titled “901 Rice Street (Detention Center Address)” being released. One rapper, Killer Mike, includes the lyrics, “I was jailed without bail in a place like Rice Street” in his song.
Typically, when prisoners are brought before the police, they are held alongside other inmates in what is commonly referred to as a cold, malodorous, and generally unpleasant place. Moreover, during the detention process, there is a check to determine whether an arrest warrant has been issued for the accused. Unfortunately, this procedure is often delayed due to computer malfunctions.
In the case of Trump, it is expected that his time in incarceration will be minimal, possibly just a few hours, as negotiations for bail with the prosecution may result in him appearing in court without being arrested.
Lawyers responsible for defending the accused in the Atlanta public school teacher sexual abuse case have stated that these defendants, like school teachers, will be segregated from ordinary criminals and held in separate cells.
