The Agent’s wife has yet to see her husband now held in Ohio. He spends 23 hours in a small cell and his life is in danger if he leaves isolation. This is the concept of Justice when we continue to watch violent criminals over run our border. This is tragic and we can only hope that there is a way to stop this treatment of one of our border agents.
Ramos and Compean are allowed one 15-minute phone call home each month, and those minutes have to be divided among all the family members, their wives said.
Mrs. Ramos has visited her husband three times at a federal prison in Mississippi, after Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-Calif.) office, she said, helped make it possible by pressuring the Bureau of Prisons.
However, Mrs. Compean said she hasn’t seen her husband since he began his sentence in Ohio. She believed, however, that he was holding up well, receiving cards and letters of support daily from people he has never met.
“He’s very strong and very quiet,” Mrs. Compean told Cybercast News Service. “He can take it. He writes letters, reads books and reads the Bible. He knows he’s innocent, and he’s ready to fight.”
The two men are both being held in isolation from other prisoners for their own safety and spend 23 hours each day in a six-foot by 12-foot cell, Mrs. Ramos said. Her husband was initially held among the general prison population but was moved after being assaulted by four other inmates.
