'I Must've Asked A Dumb Question...': John Kennedy Presses Witnesses About Solitary Confinement 

My brother was in solitary for 2 weeks. Then that day when he was released, after refusing a shot that he had no way to verify what was in it, he was put in solitary for another week. Only after that was he able to call his family and the first time we were able to get an update on his condition for the first time. I have much more to say at a later appropriate time.

And that is disgusting that they are being treated as they are. It’s inhumane the way they are being treated.

@@beverlysteiger6757majority of people in PRISON are there from a bad decision THEY made Break the rules pay the price. Be a modest person in jail and you won’t be put in solitary. Doesn’t take a degree to understand this

@@MopBucket1014 "Be a modest person in jail and you won’t be put in solitary." Absolutely not true.

Yes Jan 6 patriot Americans are being held in solitary confinement, not charged with a crime, they are severely punished as they are kept in the ragged deplorable section of the prison and when they complain too their attorneys they are beaten and further deprived of human rights by a prison system run by a political party all orchestrated by a corrupt president that is allowed by the media to inflict his tyrannical rule upon the people that have opposition too his rule. It is amazing that the DOJ under the corrupt Biden administration didn’t utilize the phone data as they did for the American citizens that trespassing into the capital on Jan 6 for the Palestinians and their supporters that trespass into the capital and held the same space for hours. Yes the DOJ didn’t use the phone data to hunt and take into custody the Palestinians and their supporters. These corrupt politicians use the absolute lies that no voter fraud or irregularities were found by the court. This is an absurd lie . The courts in over 50 cases sighted “ no standing “, so the cases where never put too trial. The courts handed the Tyrannical Biden and his administration a gift by not hearing these cases which involved sworn affidavits under the oath of perjury, there by not issuing a order of Discovery. I as well as many of my Fellow Americans strongly believe that Discovery order would have brought evidence that would shed a light on election fraud and the conspiracy too steal the Presidential election of 2020. Digressing Senator Dick Durbin we the American people know your are a publicity stunt politician, you only preform in front of the cameras. All Americans that are aware of the lies told by The Corrupt President Biden about Jan 6 . Always mentioning how many law enforcement officers were killed that day. We all know that this is a lie , as non died as a result of this act of trespassing! However a Capital police LT with a very disturbing prior record ambushed a American Veteran that was un armed not acting or showing any type of aggressive behavior was cold bloodily murdered by this officer. It is hypocritical how this DOJ and the corrupt politicians have not demanded an investigation into this Police LT using deadly force. The use of Deadly force by a law enforcement officer as you know has too meet a specific set of requirements! It is absurd too remotely justified that an officer hid behind a door an open fire at the first person that crossed over the threshold of that doorway. Never actually seeing the individual until his gunshot scored a direct hit bringing the unsuspecting victim down . In this case he murdered a three tour veteran named Ashley Babbit. The veteran a female of small stature just by looks imposed no danger to the armed police officer with his gun drawn and aimed at doorway where he fired blindly into it as Ashley Babbit crossed over the threshold. Senator Dick Durbin we the American people are demanding that you look into this shooting of an unarmed woman by a Capital police Officer. We the American people demand that you and the rest of the corrupt politicians stop being hypocrites, and do your job and look into the case of a American veteran that served her country for three tours of duty honorably and with integrity. Ashley Babbit holds a high level military clearance not given to just any soldier. As a Senator you owe the Family and the American people an investigation into her murder. I hope that you do not turn a blind eye to this matter, as a lawyer you clearly know the criteria for a law enforcement officer to use deadly force, and unless you truly are a hypocrite you will hold an investigation!!!’

Politicians these days, both parties, are only up to talking, lying, inside trading, and stealing legally from US citizens.. Not worth the powder to blow thier noses..

What do you mean nothing ever happens? These people get more rich, better homes, land, cars, investments, parties… all kinds of good stuff happens for them!!

Do you how bills become laws? Schoolhouse Rock is the elementary version. Furthermore, bills take much longer to pass in a divided government, which we currently have.

Or those who lie during testimony walk away with repercussions. No accountability in our government and agencies anymore. They do what they want, when they want, and how they want to benefit themselves. Forgetting who pays their salary, and who they need to fight for. Don't get me wrong though, Kennedy is one of those who doesn't hold back on corrupted processes.

That is so true!

Leave Foghorn Leghorn alone.

😂😂😂😂

Leave them alone, they're on Television 📺 😂😂

@@anovino1992 Yes, you are right. Could be a case of stage fright 😂

Should not be employed in the prison system, be it jail or prison behind the bars run on intimidation. Inmates do not need to be treated unfairly but after all they are in jail and jails have rules to be followed correctional officers have rules to follow and inmates have rules to follow.

Liberal Women Have SO MUCH Compassion For Those With No Compassion...

Yes, I wonder if any of them have actually been to a prison? When a prisoner becomes combative…and the big question, how do we discipline prisoners without SHU?

@@ArmyBrat1974 The same can be said for those who think solitary confinement is appropriate. At times? Maybe, but it's overused. Incarceration is supposed to serve as a punishment, yes, but it's also supposed to rehabilitate inmates. Forget 22hrs, I know a few people that literally have 15 minutes to 1hr out of their cell at best. There are others that have lived like that for decades, that's inhumane. That's literally a living grave.

This is another example of how womens compassion puts us all in danger.

Oh you are so naïve.. Texas is sooo weak on crime.. it’s a national disgrace actually.

He was the only correctional professional on the panel. The rest were fluff and flotsam

Naa, they weren’t sassy enough.

0 they are completely incompetent

Two of them are black and thus most likely intimitely familar with all teh workings of jail and the penal system.

Obviously, none of them know anything about prison or prisoners.

As a long time corrections officer, I can tell you that any time a woman is in charge of a male facility, things always go wrong, and furthermore, almost all of the people that are "in charge" have never worked inside of a prison and are just going off of what they read in a fancy book or learned at their overpriced liberal colleges.

None of them. As a female who had opened the largest women’s correctional facility in Virginia, starting a fight, attempted escape, assault, etc! Love this Sheriff

Crying room works.

Love it 😂😂😂

Good idea!

Kennedy is not even qualified as a beautician. Ever hear his gut feelings regarding climate science? Clearly never took a science class.

Nope! No they're not!

​ @311Bob I agree! They are WAY less qualified for their current positions - than a beautician.

Even so, they aren't as dumb as AOC.

@@erikjohnson9931 remember he is still fighting the Senate and Congress to get things to happen in his state. He doesn’t run his state alone. Understand?

@@murielsundermier1044 LMAO! How come 9 out of 10 of the poorest states are republican controlled? Please answer that! And they take more money from the government than they send. Why should other states pay more for poorer states?

Yuck🤮

@davidgagnon Ummm they are CRIMINALS for a reason(s)! There's no segregation between them hence it's why they are in jail/prison!!

@@dennissimpson343 I'm not sympathetic to criminals. I am concerned about my tax dollars going to feed and water criminals. Often when a criminal is injured/killed by another inmate/s they or their family sue the city/county/state/federal govt entity for not protecting them. Staff have to get a lawyer to protect their self. Even when the criminal or their family don't win they have still cost us huge tax dollars. With this we have also lost time of Judges/lawyers and transportation back and forth for the inmate. There is much more but please think about what you are advocating.

@hlcorick I get where you are coming from when it comes to tax dollars, which is another sore subject when it comes to these criminals, judicial system, etc. In which, the judicial system is a dumpster in and of itself. You have very valid points and hopefully one day they will get a better hold of things when it comes to these criminals

@@dennissimpson343 You are fundamentally wrong. There are several tiers of felonies, Class A B C D etc. (the actual classifications differ by State). Would you say that a person guilty of manslaughter (causing an accidental death) should be viewed with the same contempt as a person guilty of murder in the first degree (planned and premeditated with the intent to kill)?

@arronjerden915 I would say yes because for it to be considered manslaughter, then they were more than likely drunk driving and hit someone, caused an accident, etc. and somebody died from it. And regardless of what tier they fall under, they are still a felon and regardless of the type of murder they commit, they're still classified as a murderer.

Fine with me!! I’m a GW Bush Republican, the Republican Party of Trump is a national disgrace…

I thought the man from Texas's first non-answer was ridiculous. Kennedy confirmed that he didn't get an answer from him the first round.

He still tried to change the terminology from solitary confinement to isolation cells. Give me a break with your double talk.

Texas has some of the worst records on crime.. it’s a complete joke… only Sean and the gang believe Texas is tough on crime.

This title for the video would be more accurate if it had "/sarc" after it. Sen Kennedy is an artiste at subtle sarcasm.

Could you provide some details on prisoners meals and compare them to meals eaten by "most" tax paying citizens. Interested to know. 🤔

What it is your family member in there would you feel the same. Even though they are not a hard criminal

@@montarakid1943 Be patient, they have to do their Google research to give you an answer.

@@barbaraknight6910 Where did that come from? I thought we/you were talking about a prisoner/tax paying citizens' meals comparison.

I would aswell. Punishment would b in gen pop, esp having to choose an ethno group to b tagged.

Good luck keeping sane after that first month of sitting in a tiny box all by yourself.

​@@beyondbasedI would love it too. Currently live in my 1997 RV with no running water and little electricity. I'm on an isolated plot of land in rural Pennsylvania. I might miss my dog but actual hot showers and meals don't sound too bad.

ABSCAM Turban Durbin should have been in solitary decades ago

Durbin is the epitome of a HACK😡

Some being the operative word.

Yes intelligent people believe in humane treatment.

Gary, I'm with you. They have tunnel vision so bad as to only see one offender at a time. They seem to ward off any suggestion to help them broaden their scope of thought.

You clearly don't understand that SC isn't filled with those types of people lol A lot of the people in SC banged up for 23hrs haven't been a threat in years if not decades but have been there for that long. It's overused and completely inhumane. Unless you're dealing with an absolutely violent inmate that is unruly, no one should really be in SC

What if your name is trump? Should he go to jail.

​​@jamesday2769 Trump's a private citizen ... He enjoys the fourth amendment like the rest of us..

@@jamesday2769 considering they’ve thrown everything at him including the kitchen sink, to get him jailed and out of a political race he is clearly winning… you already have your answer. Difference is, these are the experts called in as eyewitness to the hearing topic. They are paid with our tax dollars to complete a job well done. If your boss calls you in and asks why you are doing what you are doing, you don’t disrespect and disregard by refusing to answer. Unfortunately it’s difficult to get rid of government workers who fail to do their job efficiently and sufficiently. Trump is the defendant in a number of cases accusing him of “trumped” up charges… many of which have been dropped but then the judge goes rogue and unconstitutionally charges him on something ridiculous anyhow. It’s amazing how the same charge is dropped for one individual while the other is viciously prosecuted and gagged beyond what is constitutional. And what is even more incredulous, is people whose judgement and hatred is so intense it blinds them to critically think about the ramifications of what’s going on in our political, Judical, academic and social world. Even with all the evidence in support of Trump’s innocence. He’s not perfect by any means but no one is… The media and far left socialism has persuaded the ignorant masses to hate him where less than a decade ago Trump was well loved by media moguls and Democrat politicians… but people would know this if they did there own research and critical thinking.

@@jamesday2769 But, but, but Twump, waaah!

Is that you in the pic or Ted Kazinski ?

@denisehood958 Ummm "protection" from what?!? They are in jail/prison with other like minded CRIMINALS! They obviously weren't concerned about protection whenever they committed the crime(s) they did!!

@@dennissimpson343 I realize that however once some moron kill's a child or God knows what else to the vulnerable child is life is toast. Some guy was just stabbed and killed by and prisoner due to that after 3 months. Then the prison is investigated blah blah... So I was just saying..

@@denisehood958 justice!

@@SS-zg6of we're all human. They're paying their dues for life. I don't judge like that... When one is in prison No one is better than anyone else!

No one should be in solitary confinement unless they pose a significant danger to other prisoners. It's mental torture that no one deserves. Decency and dignity are expected to be shown to your fellow humans. That's part of living in a developed western nation. A mostly Christian nation, at that. Protective custody is not the same as being in a small room 22 hours a day without any human interaction at all (not even guards). It is the deprivation of human contact, clocks, sunlight, etc. that is a violation of 8th amendment.

He’s not telling the truth however… just a minor issue.

AMEN!

100% having worked 42 years in corrections and jail it’s a completely different world that not everyone is cutout for and those who have never worked behind the bars have no idea.

What exactly is solitary confinement? Is it like what I see on tv? Putting someone in a cell for days on end without lights, bed, windows, clock, etc, is torture and should be abolished (if that's what it is).

​@@MrEkzotic they are in their cell for 22-23 hours s day come out for exercise and hygiene in most cases as long as they are not in a certain type of watch they still have a bed and what not it's not torture stop with that

@@Dgafsranger That's why I asked, because I didn't really know.

I'll tell you what you don't want to get in a Texas courtroom for spitting on the sidewalk they do not have a single judge it's a tribunal there is no jury again military-style Tribunal

what happened to a speedy trial

phd?

Every war has had this situation we started with the Civil War the British used our Revolutionary War if you put men in boxes where that they cannot even see or talk to anybody you're going to have a broken person it is absolutely wrong solitary confinement will take a normal human being and turn them into a raging sociopath

And I will add many poor thoughts are prevented from becoming an action due to the known consequence of solitary.

I know not one word about the victims these inmates hurt and/or murdered.
