Bannon was sentenced to four months for not cooperating with subpoenas issued by the Capital Attack committee, which was investigating the incident at the time.

He claimed he didn’t go through with the subpoenas due to advice from his lawyer.

Bannon requested to have his prison time delayed, after a two-year sentencing delay.

But the Supreme Court denied his request on Friday, forcing him to check into the Danbury prison on Monday.

INCLUDED ACTIVITIES

Danbury prison is a low-security facility where several notable celebrities and felons have served time.

Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝓈ℯ𝓍 trafficking for crimes involved with Jeffrey Epstein, is currently housed there.

An expert on federal prison, Justin Paperny, said Danbury prison would be pristine compared to the Metropolitan Detention Center from which Maxwell was transferred.

“She will actually feel like she’s in Disneyland compared to where she is now,” Paperny told The Independent in 2022 when Maxwell was being sentenced.

Paperny also described the intricate activities the Danbury prisoners can participate in during their stay.

Activities include group therapy for mental health, hobby crafts, music lessons, circuit training, and aerobics.

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice served her prison sentence at Danbury after being convicted of tax fraud and other crimes.

Piper Kerman, author of Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison, wrote her memoir on her experience in Danbury.

Lauryn Hill, a six-time Grammy winner, had to spend six months there after failing to pay $ 1 million in taxes.

Danbury’s kind of known as a sweet spot because there’s not a lot of inmates there.

Ian Bick, Who Spent Time In Danbury For Wire Fraud

Ian Bick, who hosts a podcast called Locked In with Ian Bick, and spent time in Danbury for wire fraud said the prison has perks.

He shared some positives about Danbury prison: it has a bakery and is not overcrowded.

“Danbury’s kind of known as a sweet spot because there’s not a lot of inmates there,” Bick told Corrections1.

‘MORE POWERFUL IN PRISON’

Despite his legal troubles, Bannon has been active in Trump’s election campaign.

He insists his prison time will not hold him back from being an influence on the camping.

“I’m going to be more powerful in prison than I am now,” Bannon told CNN.

“I’m not going to be sitting there going, ‘Oh, woe is me.

“I’m working 24/7 on this campaign.

“I will have a much bigger impact on the campaign when I’m in prison than I have now.”

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Danbury prison for comment.
