Yup. You bet there is an army of asshole lawyers looking for "well, ackshually" technical methods to invalidate the entire bill of rights.

The idea that a fucking PRISON doesn't have to follow the Bill of Rights for any kind of technicality is just further confirmation that we're living in a fascist state.
