in such a way that they ARE NOT housed with the highly susceptible or domestic terrorists. There are white-collar defendants all over the country who are NOT white supremacists, or violent, or with a history of insurrectionist writings or actions. They have the capacity to do so. You are giving them an excuse NOT to.

The militia types (Proud Boys, Three Percenters, etc.) are hardly going to be influenced in a way they are not ALREADY philosophically and mentally prepared to do. But, they have been that way for a long time. I'm talking about those who are not- the worst of the worst with a long history of violence-which is the majority.

The worst of the worst white boys are not going to be too boisterous if there are a majority of black or Hispanic group-aligned inmates with their own agendas. And somehow, I don't see the Proud Boys convincing members of any Hispanic or Black gang to their side.
