ATLANTA—Unsafe. Unsanitary. Teeming with insects. When Donald Trump surrenders on Thursday to face charges he tried to overturn the 2020
When Donald Trump surrenders on Thursday to face charges he tried to overturn the 2020 election he is expected to do so at an Atlanta jail where conditions are so notorious they are under investigation by the Justice Department.
But Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat told reporters this month that when it comes to a booking at his jail, “it doesn’t matter your status.”Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and the other co-defendants have until noon on Friday to surrender voluntarily to the charges they conspired to overturn the billionaire’s election loss to Biden in Georgia.
Two co-defendants in the racketeering case, Trump attorney John Eastman and Scott Hall, a bail bondsman, were booked at the Fulton County Jail on Tuesday and released on bond. Attorney General Merrick Garland said it was being launched “based on serious allegations of unsafe, unsanitary living conditions at the jail.”
Fifteen inmates died at the jail last year, the newspaper said, and there have been four deaths reported in the past five weeks alone.
