At his initial intake, yes, after not so much....
The inmates AKA Cellies will enforce bathing unless he is in solitaire. The have been known to scrub nasty smelly people with toilet brushes an mop water until the skill is learned.
I don't think they will go at him like that. They know he has money.
This method of teaching will also extract money.

As I understand it, 5 days off per month for good behavior nominally, but the calculus is kind of confusing and in practice works out to be less than that.

Edited to add “per month.”
I thought it only applied if the sentence was longer than 1 year, which is why some are sentenced to a year and a day.
Yeah, maybe. But if there is good time, it’s 5 days per month max.

I fully expect Bannon to be in some sort of protective custody. At his Club Fed.

Federal good time credit is technically 54 days per year, or slightly less than 5 days/month.

Steve Bannon threatens Dr Fauci and his family will be ‘hunted’ after midterms: ‘Paybacks across the board’
Former Trump adviser says Dr Fauci’s entire family will be ‘hunted’ after the midterms

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon has issued a threat to Anthony Fauci, saying the president’s chief medical adviser and his entire family are going to “suffer” after the midterm elections next month.

“On 8 November, when we destroy the Democratic party as a national political institution and really end the regime, the hunted become the hunters. The whole Fauci family is going to be welcome to the investigations. The entire family,” Mr Bannon said on his War Room podcast on Sunday.

A clip of his podcast was shared on Twitter by attorney and analyst Ron Filipkowski.

“Remember, War Room was taken off Twitter because of comments I made about, wait for it, [FBI director] Christopher Wray and Anthony Fauci that their day was coming... they took the War Room account off Twitter. Paybacks across the board on all that, a big move,” Mr Bannon said.

I was listening to a podcast, I think it was Greg Olear interviewing Nina Burleigh, and the guest lit into Bannon.

(Paraphrasing)

Bannon likes to pretend he’s this outsider, right? And he’s always talking about Hollywood and how he was treated so badly as a conservative, right? But he made his Hollywood bones on Seinfeld, right, and that’s when Hollywood started to hate him. He smelled, he was obnoxious, and he drank a lot, drunk on set, and that’s just so unprofessional, all these guys doing their jobs and Bannon just crashing around.

I got the impression that he really shat his Hollywood bed.

Bannon had something to do with Seinfeld? No wonder I hated that show.

Another thing Bannon was involved in back in the early 1990s - Biosphere 2, an Environmental science project. He was very much pushing Global warming back then...



https://www.vice.com/en/article/qkjn87/ ... experiment
Scientists broke into the dome to sound the alarm about Bannon's involvement

This one's a huge "OH SHIT" for scientists: Tampering with an in-progress experiment and contaminating the entire dome.

In late 1993, Space Biosphere Ventures refused to accept Bannon's proposal to remove top Biosphere 2 management. Bannon quit over this, but returned as CEO the following year when Bass gave in to his requests.

Two of the original eight researchers staged a mutiny from outside when they heard Bannon was back. "They opened doors and broke glass seals, letting outside air into the dome," the Chicago Tribune reported in 1994. "In no way was it sabotage," said Abigail Alling, one of the researchers. "It was my responsibility."

He was accused of harassing employees

After this takeover, project director Augustine accused Bass of having used his agents to dissociate her from the Biosphere project in breach of an earlier agreement, Buzzfeed reported again in August. In a counter-suit, Space Biosphere Ventures accused her of self-dealing and funneling $800,000 of project money.

She claimed this was an effort to slander her out of the position, and accused Bannon, Bass and another banker of a long list of harassment in her complaint: "Both Bowen and Bannon were insulting to the plaintiff and other females employees of Biosphere 2, and in their presence, and against their will, made lewd remarks, told offensive off-color stories, made disparaging remarks about females, made sexually suggestive remarks, discussed females they had known in a lewd and derogatory fashion and in general acted with total indifference to the feelings of the plaintiff and other female employees of Biosphere 2." She also claimed that Bannon once made comments about her being "a woman in a man's job."

In the face of the counter-suit, she dropped her legal action and was removed from the project in 1993.

Didn't "work on"; owned a piece of the pie:
The Guardian wrote:Bannon, a former financier at Goldman Sachs, acquired a share of the royalties from Seinfeld in 1993 as part of the sale of Castle Rock Entertainment to Turner Broadcasting System.

Steve Bannon went on a wild rant outside the courthouse today, saying MAGA is going to destroy the Democratic Party, win 100 House seats, get 50% of the black male votes, 55% of Hispanic votes, and then rule for 100 years.
