Capitol Rioter Jenna Ryan Checked Into Prison Early But Of Course She Has an Ulterior Motive

She has no idea what she's in for.

Jenna Ryan, the insurrectionist who famously claimed that her blonde hair and white skin would keep her from having to serve jail time, has already begun her two-month stint at the Bryan Federal Prison Camp. The lengthy-by-comparison sentence was the result of her remorseless and tacky behavior before and even after her trial.

I wonder if Ms. Ryan ever regrets sending this tweet? Sadly, she probably doesn’t.

Ryan did try to explain her tweet but it didn’t do much good:

Prison consultant Daniel Wise told viewers of his YouTube channel that he believed Ryan had surrendered before Christmas in order to make the details of her book — a deal for which she’s been bragging about since she got it — even juicier.

I have to imagine that there was a motive behind this, and your motive probably is: You want to go in there, now you can write in your book what it was like to be in prison for Christmas. I mean, I think people are going to see right through the smokescreen. I don’t think you’re going to get a lot of sympathy.

Nobody ever accused Ryan of being a genius, however.

Another video on Wise’s channel shows a user named DOCTV813 telling viewers that prison officials are not likely to be very happy about her TikTok posts and constant boasting and laughing. She has repeatedly bragged that prison would be a piece of cake — that she planned on losing weight, doing yoga, and writing her book:

With her doing what she’s doing, they’re going to look at that and they’re going to make her time hard because they’re going to give her a reality check. And she’s not going to lose weight; she’s going to probably gain weight because of how they cook everything in there with starches and all that. I don’t think she realizes what she’s about to walk into.

At one point, Ryan reached out to another prison consultant to ask if she could opt for solitary confinement so she didn’t get hit with “a lock in a sock.” Ultimately, though, Ryan decided she could make friends with anyone and would do just fine in the general population.

Let’s see how that pans out for her.

Add sorry in advance for making you watch this:
