As someone that spent 11 years in USP Big Sandy, I am quite familiar with these matters. So listen up.
There is a policy in the federal prison system known as the, "Inmate Financial Responsibility Program" (IFRP). This policy is used to levy the prison commissary accounts of inmates that owe either restitution, fines, special assessments or on occasion, have an unpaid child support judgement.
Ross apparently "owes" the federal government nearly $200 million Dollars. They know they'll never get it..but they will take whatever they can from him, not out of any sense of justice, but out of spite. Life in prison is not enough. These people seek to take your soul.
Ross will only be permitted to keep a very small amount each month (well under the $290, or whatever the limit is now, monthly commissary limit) We're talking like $40/mo he'll be able to spend on toiletries. That's it.
How do people get around this? Simple...find another inmate and deposit into their account and have them go to the commissary for you. There are plenty of indigent lifers in USPs that would love a free $50/mo in commissary to let someone deposit money into their account. (This is against prison policy, however. Inmates will receive a "shot" for this. An incident report is referred to as a "shot" in the federal prison system.)
Ross is still a little ways away from being able to sort this all out...he's about see a side of prison life he never knew existed. USPs are not like MCCs or MDCs like where's he's already been. I second his mother's concern for his personal safety.
To the law enforcement reading this: I know there's nothing I can say that would offend you. You're the good guys, after all. I could say that I have no idea how you sleep at night...but in fact, I do know: Ignorance is bliss.
Keep on being the good guys. Your selfless pursuit of protecting us all from the Big Bad Wolf is...admirable.
I fucking hate the feds, the US government, and simply anybody that supports the terrorist organization known as the US government. I really do. "He owes us 200 million..." for fucking what? For standing up for what he fucking believes in and helping thousands of people get their products they desire easy and safely? Does that make him a bad fucking guy? You want your fucking money, stop being dumbshits and legalize drugs and collect money that way you stupid fucks.
