Biden’s Bureau of Prisons — weaponized to silence him.
Alan Ellis — author of the leading federal sentencing treatise, former president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, 50+ years of federal practice — has said of this in a letter to BOP Director William Marshall II:
“In my vast experience handling BOP matters, the retaliation against Mr. Raniere is an unmistakable consequence of his efforts to expose the corrupt government conduct in his case. These actions, and the ongoing pattern of conduct, originated under prior BOP leadership.”
The prison intercepted his legal mail from his attorneys and sent it to the prosecution, as proven by the prosecution’s own letter to the court. See proof
BOP opened, photocopied, and forwarded privileged attorney-client mail — containing legal strategy to expose the government crime — to the very prosecutors implicated in the government crime. The prosecution itself admitted this in a letter to the court.
Then scrubbed his entire contact list the day he filed proof of FBI fraud. See proof
On May 3, 2022 — the same date as the Rule 33 filing alleging FBI evidence falsification — BOP scrubbed Raniere’s entire approved contact list. All contacts were removed except nine verified attorneys and the mother of his child.
¶15: “On May 3, 2022, as a result of the findings of the SIS Department and in consultation with the CTU, the USP Tucson Warden imposed limitations on Raniere’s contact list… All of his current contacts were removed, with the exception of nine verified attorneys and Marianna” — the mother of his child.
Sworn Declaration of Anthony Gallion, Raniere v. Garland, No. 22-cv-00212 (D. Ariz.).
Then put him in the SHU for 245 consecutive days (8+ months) with no disciplinary basis. See proof
From July 26, 2022 to March 28, 2023 — 245 consecutive days — held in the Special Housing Unit despite being cleared for release within ten days. At USP Tucson, non-disciplinary SHU is identical to punitive solitary: 24/7 lockdown, no regular access to legal materials or communication tools. No disciplinary infraction to justify it.
During the critical phase of post-conviction filings challenging FBI evidence fabrication.
While in the SHU, housed him with an inmate who vowed to kill sex offenders. See proof
During SHU confinement, BOP housed Raniere with Anthony Fly (AKA “Miss Toni Fly”) — a violent transgender inmate whose own federal court filings (Fly v. Carter, Case 21-1495, 7th Cir.) document homicidal ideation, assertions that she “wanted to kill” sex offenders, and a history of violent assaults. Raniere’s classification: sex offender — because of the manufactured charges.
What follows is from Anthony Fly’s own sworn filing — her own handwriting, submitted to a federal court:
¶17: Fly states that “several BOP physicians have ordered single cell only status… this makes her suicidal and homicidal.”
¶18: Fly stated that she wanted to kill her cell mate for sexually abusing her, and then kill herself.
While in the SHU, made him eat lunch next to a cell smeared with human feces. See proof
Placed in a holding cage next to a cell with human excrement piled on the floor and smeared across the walls, and forced to eat lunch there.
Reported by the New York Post, November 8, 2022.
Then banned all social visitors for 3+ years. See proof
Under a selectively applied “NXIVM ban.” NXIVM was never alleged to be a criminal organization — it had 17,000 clients worldwide, and anyone who knew Raniere in the past 30 years had some connection to it. The ban is so broad it effectively cuts off every person who knew Mr. Raniere over the past several decades.
Then tried three times to transfer him to a terrorist facility. See proof
BOP attempted three separate times to transfer Raniere to a Communications Management Unit (CMU) — facilities dubbed “Guantanamo North” — typically reserved for terrorists and national-security threats, to restrict his communications during active post-conviction litigation challenging government fraud.
Each action above is documented and independently verifiable.
