I Went Back to FCI Beaumont Today

I recorded this on Sunday, November 8, 2026, standing in the parking lot at FCI Beaumont. The medium security prison is right behind me. The low is next door. The USP is to the right. There is a camp too.

I went back to FCI Beaumont today. Not to visit. To stand outside those fences a free man and tell you what happens behind them.

This is the record.

Where they sent me

RYAN STATEMENT: After January 6, I was convicted. Even after winning at the Supreme Court level, I was still in prison here. About six to seven months in the medium. Then about two months in the low.

"And then I had to walk out of the low right there next door after the president pardoned me on January 20th, 2025."

FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed a proclamation pardoning about 1,500 people charged or convicted over January 6, 2021, and commuting the sentences of 14 others.

What I saw inside

RYAN STATEMENT: "I spent six to seven months over here at the medium security facility and saw some of the craziest things that a human being should never ever have to see."

Drug abuse. Violence at a level you could not understand. "There are people dying behind these walls. There are stabbings, murders, homicides, suicides."

Drones flying over the yard. Packs dropping. Drugs and fentanyl on the yard.

Some men in there do not deserve to be there. Some are good men who have changed. And some, in my words, "never deserve to see the light of day again." All of that is true at the same time.

"I can still see my building, and I can still sometimes hear the screams, smell the blood, and taste the fear in the air."

Why I was in there

"Just know that I stood up for this country when others wouldn't stand up for this country. And I was thrown right in behind those bars over there."

RYAN STATEMENT: I call what happened to us "the torture and abuse of the Biden DOJ sending people to prison." That is my position. I lived it.

What this does not prove

• This video is my account. It is not a Bureau of Prisons record.
• NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: my dates inside come from my memory. My BOP records will confirm them.
• What I describe inside is what I saw and lived. It is not a court finding.

What this does prove

• FACT: I stood outside FCI Beaumont as a free man on November 8, 2026. The video files carry the date and the location.
• FACT: The pardon came on January 20, 2025, the day President Trump took office.

Part of who I am. Not who I am.

"No matter what happens, if you've come from a place like this, you can do better in life. I'm a living example of that."

That place almost took my life. It caused a lot of pain and a lot of trauma.

"It's a part of who I am, but it's not who I am. And I'm moving past that now."

What I need from you
