I can think of numerous defendants being held (denied bond) for murder charges. He was in jail and was moved for safety concerns. It's a damned if they do and damned if they don't....if they leave him in jail and something happens to him physically it's LE fault. If they move him to a prison and seg pop, they are denying his rights to have the same freedom of other inmates. RA was originally the one asked to be moved.
You can't have it both ways, either keep him in jail where you can normally keep a closer eye on him, or put him in a prison facility separated from gen pop for his safety. This is not a targeted attack on RA by LE IMO.
As far as losing weight, I truly believe he is trying to change his appearance before court, he doesn't want to resemble BG. The prison is legally required to feed them a certain amount each day. If he choses not to, that's on RA.
MOO
