WASHINGTON – The Federal Bureau of Prisons has barred J6 prisoner Joseph Biggs – a decorated war veteran and former Infowars reporter, but branded an imminent threat to national security by the Biden administration – from legally speaking to the American public, lawyers and other sources close to Biggs tell WND.
The years-long ongoing process of destroying Biggs’ free speech since his arrest has only become more severe in prison.
A decision on Biggs’ part to personally divulge even minute details about his case, or of his current incarcerated life as a "domestic terrorist," could result in the immediate revocation of the few privileges – phone calls, the ability to leave his prison cell, visitation, even food – lawyers tell WND.
With the FBI employing the Bureau of Prisons to essentially torture the political hostages, speaking out or even providing WND with a comment for publication could result in a brutal beatdown by correctional officers and Biggs’ return to isolation in solitary confinement.

Thus, the other inmates there were shocked and intrigued to find out that a former Army staff sergeant, who earned two purple hearts in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and later became a well-known talk-show host, was now a political hostage and sentenced to 17 years in prison for walking through the Capitol building for approximately 15 minutes during the “Stop the Steal” protest on Jan. 6, 2021.
Contrary to the narrative disseminated by the corporate media, it quickly emerged that the former Proud Boys leader is no "white supremacist" or "Nazi."
Like nearly every high-profile Jan. 6 defendant who refused to cooperate with the government before being sentenced or accepting a plea deal that would directly incriminate former President Donald Trump, Biggs paid a big price. In his case, he was locked in solitary confinement in a 6-by-8-foot, freezing-cold cell with no windows and practically starved for 17 months in the Alexandria Detention Facility.
At any time, he could have complied with prosecutorial coercion and accepted a plea arrangement that would have resulted either in his release, or a reduced sentence. But, as Biggs saw it, he chose to be persecuted rather than sell his soul.
Last October, Biggs was "black-box" cuffed for weeks and stranded on a bus while being transferred from a Philadelphia jail to prison, a haunting journey that the government is prohibiting him from telling the world about.
He prayed the torture he endured at that time would not take his life.
Other transfers from jail to jail throughout a two-year pretrial detention period were indescribably excruciating. At times he and his co-defendants languished for days on a bus, starved in the box cuffs, and resigned to urinating on themselves as the U.S. Marshals ignored their pleas for a simple trip to the bathroom.
But on the last trip from jail to prison, the box cuffs badly cut into Bigg’s wrists.
The Bureau of Prisons uses frequent forced travel as a form of indoctrination into its system of "psychological torture," cynically referred to by insiders as "diesel therapy."
For weeks, months, or even as long as a whole year, inmates would go missing while being driven or flown all over the country with chains wrapped around their waist. The ends of the chains are anchored to a rectangular, black metal box.
Their hands are cuffed as well – also anchored in the box in a tightly fitting restraint system.
Food is sometimes provided but served in small bags that make eating difficult because of lack of sufficient mobility. Often the black box causes prisoners’ hands to swell because their blood can’t circulate.
Adjusting to his first-ever stint in prison and recovering from the psychological torture, Biggs, a combat veteran, has kept to himself and consumes one book after another – as many as possible.
But most prisons have been defunded. There is no law library – nothing for education or entertainment except staring at a wall, and perhaps reading letters of encouragement sent from the few strangers across the country who take time to write to the political prisoners.
Among the inmates currently surrounding Biggs in FCI Talladega, most plagued with disturbing criminal histories, Biggs is a leader and inspiration.
His surprisingly warm reception in the "correctional" facility has prompted Biggs to begin executing the goal he vowed would become his life's work, before he was found guilty of "seditious conspiracy": He now sees constructively using the tragic circumstances in which he finds himself for having protested the theft of the 2020 presidential election as an opportunity to do good: Not just to push for prison reform, but to teach other prisoners about the U.S. Constitution and the American system that is rapidly being destroyed by the same forces that are putting hundreds of innocent patriots in prison.
Indeed, just like a large portion of lifelong Democrats across the nation, many of the inmates in the Alabama prison now support Trump and have recently abandoned their longtime support of the Democrat Party.
Many barely finished high school and reportedly have very little understanding of basic American history or of the U.S. Constitution.
