The Department of Justice and Bureau of Prisons’ harassment of J6 Political Prisoner Barry Ramey continues at his halfway house, where he’s been confined for nearly eight weeks without permission to start his pre-approved job or return home regularly.
Despite having employment and housing approval upon arrival in November, the facility has prevented Ramey from beginning work, limiting him to just a 12-hour Christmas visit home. The anticipated timeline for home confinement remains uncertain under these restrictive conditions.
I was just informed by the halfway house that the Bureau of Prisons will now be taking direct inquiries as far as media Interviews with me are concerned. The halfway house will no longer be involved. The very first inquiry given to the Bureau of Prisons… was denied. 🤡🌎

The facility’s conditions mirror prison-like circumstances, with concerning health and safety issues. The predominantly unhealthy meal options, including frequent pizza servings, pose risks to Ramey’s cardiac health. When requesting additional vegetables instead, his request was denied.
Security concerns persist, with police presence observed and disturbing behavior from other residents. Visitors have witnessed individuals exhibiting erratic movements and concerning conduct, suggesting possible substance influence, while facility management appears unresponsive to these issues.
Financial struggles have intensified as Ramey’s inability to work continues. With charitable support dwindling by mid-December, he’s faced meal restrictions due to delivery costs and storage limitations for fresh food.
Administrative delays persist despite initial approvals. Though Christmas leave received last-minute authorization following a director’s home visit, promises of imminent home confinement with GPS monitoring remain unfulfilled. Additionally, future employment earnings face potential deductions between 25-40%.
Throughout his nearly three-year confinement, Ramey has endured various forms of mistreatment, including medical neglect, solitary confinement, and terrorist labeling, despite no terrorism-related charges. This scrutiny surpasses that of actual convicted terrorists.

The facility’s restrictions extend to daily newspaper access, continuing a pattern of deprivation that exceeds standard incarceration practices. While awaiting potential relief under a future Trump administration, Ramey remains unable to support his family, including his mother who requires surgery.
This treatment exemplifies unprecedented political prosecution under the current Department of Justice. His fiancée believes the halfway house’s restrictions reflect ongoing systematic persecution of J6 defendants and their families.
Ramey seeks simply to resume employment and normal life, yet faces continued obstacles from an administration seemingly determined to maintain pressure on supporters of the former president.
