Steve Bannon on His Time in Prison: 'Gangbangers' and 'Blood Everywhere'

"Steve Bannon wants to make one thing clear: He did his time in a brutal prison, not in a leisurely camp like that p*ssy [Michael] Cohen. Bannon made that comment, and shared details about his four-month prison term for a forthcoming book from ABC Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl titled Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America; an excerpt from the book, set to be released on Oct. 28, was published by The Atlantic on Tuesday."

"The man who helped President Donald Trump win the 2016 election described the Danbury, Connecticut federal prison he was in as a rough place a f*cking low-medium security [prison] with gangbangers and f*cking drugs and stabbings. Bannon said that soon after he arrived in July 2024, he saw several inmates take a shiv out and f*cking rip a guy. There was blood everywhere, he said."

Steve Bannon described serving a four-month prison sentence at the federal correctional institution in Danbury, Connecticut after conviction for defying a congressional subpoena. He characterized the facility as a 'f*cking low-medium security [prison]' with gang activity, drugs, and stabbings, and recounted witnessing inmates use a shiv and causing a bloody attack. He said he refused to inform guards and kept quiet when questioned about the stabbing. He said he befriended violent inmates, calling murderers and mob hitmen his 'besties.' He framed himself as a political prisoner battling the Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
