A college student who turned his dad in to the FBI after the Capitol riot fears he's getting more radicalized in jail



Guy Reffitt, a Texas man and member of the far-right Three Percenters group, was arrested at his home on January 19 after his son, Jackson, tipped off the FBI.

According to court documents, the elder Reffitt was charged with five counts, including possession of a semi-automatic weapon on Capitol grounds. He has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial with dozens of other Capitol riot defendants at the Central Detention Facility in Washington, DC.

People housed in that jail face the most serious charges relating to the insurrection. As Insider previously reported, they have in recent months bonded by organizing group activities, singing the national anthem every night, and writing newsletters.


Some extremism experts have warned that those activities could leave some of the defendants more radicalized than before, Vice News previously reported.

In a letter from jail published by ProPublica in May, Guy Reffitt said he had bonded with the other defendants and was not remorseful about what happened on January 6, 2021.

Jackson told Vice News of the letter: "​​It was pretty disgusting to read that. I mean like it's psycho stuff."

This is in the pre - prison jail.

Actual prisons have gang intelligence divisions, hopefully they will make sure this kind of shit doesn't happen, and deal with these assholes as they do other gang members.

1. Surely a logical outcome.

I wish they'd separate them. Whose idea was it NOT to separate them???

[TheBlackAdder]

14. Perhaps keeping them together makes it easier for moles to get the goods on them.

.

We all know how some 3PCTers and Proud Boys love working for the Feds. I'm sure there are some rats in the ship.

2. They should keep these dirtbags separated, just like any other prison gangs.

Put them in the general population.

[elleng]

3. Right.

[MagickMuffin]

4. That's why they should ALL be locked up in solitary confinement

Not that harsh to me and they deserve it. Not remorseful that's it in a nutshell.

5. I have long thought it quite foolish to lock them up together.

[orangecrush]

8. This is a lockup.

Hopefully they will not go to the same prison together.

[Irish_Dem]

10. Any time at all together is quite dangerous for our country.

They are at war with us.

12. Still, they're spending months reinforcing each other

The most important thing when dealing with radicals is to separate them from their daily dose of the "vitamins" that feed their radicalism. Without being constantly pumped up, only the most "gone" stay that way. The rest start showing cracks and having doubts, and eventually start contemplating how much bull-pucky they've been swallowing.

It's how we got our best intelligence about al-Queda before Dubya screwed it up by torturing people.

6. I hope he sticks with the not guilty plea and remains defiant...

With these plea bargains, they drop all but one or two of the charges, AND the judge gives leniency on top of that for "taking responsibility" or whatever.

Go ahead and face every single count in front of a jury, and get convicted on all of them, and have a big stack of offenses to reckon with at sentencing -- along with showing zero remorse or contrition. Sounds like a good plan, for the rest of us. Rot in jail forever.

7. Excellent

And it looks like he will do exactly that.

Total psycho, as his son observed.

[Thomas Hurt]

9. All kinds of time to meet new terrorists, bond and get more and more paranoid and hateful.

[Carlitos Brigante]

11. I'll say it again. That's how 'ISIS' formed in the first place. nt

[mopinko]

13. hopefully this shit comes up at sentencing.

[Ilsa]

15. It reminds me of a scene from Amazon or Netflix

about the nazi hunters in NYC in the 1970s. A young Arian nazi creep was finally arrested and put in jail, but he kept smiling at the Jews who finally got to him. In his next scene, he was on the jail phone telling his "boss" that he was in, and there are lots of people to be radicalized in prison. It was positively chilling.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

16. That's what incarceration does.
