    The first one was probably trying to get them to try to escape in order to charge them with more crimes, because ACAB. And the second is plain-ole misogyny.

      I was all set to say well, I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong, if the FBI and the prison officials are keeping two criminals in the prison; that is their job even if it clearly seemed that they were having a little fun with this one. But… that was before I looked up what they were in for:

      Betzner, serving a 15-year sentence on a cocaine conviction, and Briceno, serving 18 months for importing and possessing marijuana, added attempted escape and conspiracy charges to their arrest records.

      If convicted on all charges, Briceno and Betzner each face a maximum additional penalty of 10 years in prison and a $15,000 fine.

      15 years for cocaine

      That’s most of your adult life

      And now it’s up to 25

      ☹️

        It’s natural to try to escape prison and that shouldn’t be a crime. As long as no one is injured in the process. Police tricking people into committing more crimes to lock them up longer, or just messing with them with the helicopter is just cruelty. ACAB.
