The conditions you put those girls in were worse, Andy. Wish, I could feel bad for you. Oh wait, no I don’t.

    Whether he’s being truthful is the question, but those conditions should be absolutely unacceptable, no matter who’s in there. When the state takes responsibility for housing inmates, they need to do it right. It should be clean, they should be treated humanely (insofar that’s possible when you’re keeping people in cells) and they should be kept healthy.

    I see in this thread a lot of people whose gut reaction is to be happy that a piece of shit is being treated like this, but you guys do realize that this treatment is not just limited to Tate, right? Do we really want a society where this shit is accepted, or in this case even praised? It degrades all of us.

    He’s having a shit time in prison, but is still able to tweet about it? Since when are inmates allowed social media? What a douche.

      Probably though an intermediate. So he would have calls and someone on the outside who can tweet for him. He may even send letters or have access to prison monitored technology. Still more than he gave to the girls and women he trafficked.

    I don’t like him. But prisons should be a place to put people with some dignity. The punishment is taking away their freedom.

    You.want.to.rehabilite.people.back.into.society. Not possible with all, but most can. People make mistakes and learn from them.

    Andrew tate can fuck off and get lifelong though.

      Given how much he was lying about conditions previously, nobody should be feeling elated yet. But on the bright side, by taking the stand in his extradition bail hearing he hurt his chances in any future trials, especially any he testifies in.

    And yet, has the means to either post to social media or contact someone to post to social media.

      Would you have a source on that? I’m curious because this post implies that he doesn’t want to be there

        Even if he doesn’t want to be there, is it possible general population would be a high risk for him, and that wardens are taking extra care given his high profile?

        It seems he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking minors and rape. That’s usually something inmates in prison can skin you alive for.

        I don’t approve that, but that’s kind of an open secret about prison culture. Well, maybe not skinning alive specifically, but murder and torture - yes.
