The article mentions a lot of county jails, but are federal prisons doing this? I'm pretty sure the executive branch isn't in charge of county jails.
I think the supreme Court could probably decide that this is cruel and unusual punishment. Or that Congress could pass a federal law setting regulations for local jails.
I'm not a jail expert, but this sounds like something Biden has no control over.
Not really about an endorsement of the two-party system. When you go to the gas pump and see a picture of biden's face with an I did that sticker, it's a pretty safe bet that the person who put that up is a Republican.
Likewise, when you see someone criticizing the Biden administration for things that county jails are doing, safe bet it's a Republican.
But apparently your definition of enlightened centerists includes people who know what the executive branch actually controls.
Biden doesn't have a gas price dial on his desk, and doesn't set visitation policies for county jails.
