Steve Bannon misses out on cushy ‘Club Fed’ prison

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon will be spending his sentence for contempt of Congress in a low-security prison instead of the comfortable, minimum-security facility he favored.

Former President Donald Trump’s chief strategist is set to begin a four-month prison sentence on July 1. A pending criminal case against Bannon in New York is blocking the former adviser’s ability to serve time in a cushy “Club Fed” prison, the most comfortable type of facility available for prisoners. Instead, Bannon will be imprisoned in Danbury, Connecticut, where he will likely be housed with other incarcerated people.
