Steve Bannon will not be serving his four-month sentence at a minimum security “Club Fed” federal prison, according to CNN.
The podcast host and former Donald Trump adviser was convicted of contempt of Congress after he defied a subpoena issued by the House Jan. 6 select committee. Last week, a judge ordered Bannon to report to prison on July 1 to serve his sentence.
“No, not at all what Steve Bannon was wanting here,” Polantz replied. “He had expected – and his lawyers had expected – that, he’s non-violent, he had not had any prior convictions. And so, maybe he would go to a prison camp, very minimal security in the federal system. That’s not what’s happening.”
Polantz added,
So, he’s behind The Wall, is what they call it. It’s different than a camp. It has more confines for the inmates that are kept there. Also, violent offenders can be kept in a low-security prison like the one Bannon is going to be reporting to in just a couple weeks in Danbury, Connecticut.
