The horrible treatment of just about anyone that enters the prison system is the primary driver of our plea-based justice system. While Weev's friends may think that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is afraid of their public complaints, the opposite is true. Such public stories help get other defendants to plead guilty in exchange for reduced sentences, hopefully in minimum security, "Club Fed" type facilities, before significant resources have to be spent on their prosecution. By discussing it here and spreading it online, we are actually advancing the goals of federal prosecutors across the country.

As far as Weev himself, not much can be done. The feds are permitted to house any inmate in essentially any conditions they want as long as they meet certain (incredibly low) standards. Once you are in their grasp, you are at their mercy. Theoretically, they can keep him in segregation for the duration of his sentence. The bra thing is ordinary for jails and prisons. He is being threatened with "Diesel Therapy" - being moved from prison to prison - in order to disrupt his posts to the Internet which violate their rules.

Basically, he hasn't learned (but will soon) that he is no longer in control. The harder he fights against the rules, no matter how idiotic those rules may be, the more difficult his life will become. This is true both while in custody and during the entire term of his Supervised Release. None of this is necessary or right in the eyes of anyone with half a brain, but it is the system we have and he exposed himself to it.
