Frederick Bardell was a convicted felon, but he deserved much better treatment than he got from the Biden administration's Bureau of Prisons (BOP) in his dying days. On Oct. 4, Federal District Judge Roy Dalton issued a scathing indictment of federal prison officials who had treated Bardell with what the judge called "callous disregard" before his death last year at age 54.
The judge noted that Bardell, after being diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer, had tried to obtain compassionate release from prison so that he could get the life-saving, specialized medical care that he needed.
