According to the Washington Post, Trump’s booking at the Fulton
County Jail came 10 days after "the former president was charged in
Georgia in what was his fourth criminal indictment since March and his second
tied to his alleged efforts to subvert the 2020 election results and remain in
the White House,” the Jordan News Agency, Petra reported.
Required to turn himself in
Trump was required to turn himself in at the notorious county
jail known as "Rice Street," where "inmate deaths and decrepit
conditions recently prompted a Justice Department civil rights
investigation." The former president had "his height and weight

roughly 20 minutes on a $200,000 bond negotiated earlier in the week by his
legal team." He arrived and departed "through a back entrance of the
facility where he did not interact with anyone in the jail population."
Speaking to reporters as he prepared to depart Atlanta, Trump
again defended his actions in Georgia.
"'What has taken place here is a travesty
