Thomas Markle Is 'Separated From Other Prisoners' in Hellhole Jail
The judge revoked his release and ordered him kept apart from other inmates as he awaits trial on child pornography charges.
- On Wednesday, Magistrate Judge Lindsay Griffin ordered Thomas Markle, father of the Duchess of Sussex, remanded to the Pinellas County Jail after he breached bail conditions by removing his electronic monitoring bracelet.
- Judge Lindsay Griffin revoked Markle's release because his living situation with daughter Samantha Markle and her partner Mark Phillips had 'become untenable,' following his alleged 'tampering' with a GPS ankle monitor.
- The 54-acre Pinellas County Jail houses around 3,000 inmates daily and has faced years of scrutiny over prisoner deaths and allegations of excessive force by staff.
- Markle faces federal trial for alleged possession of child pornography, an offense carrying a potential 20-year sentence if convicted, after FBI agents discovered explicit material in storage units he rented.
- The investigation began after his son, Thomas Markle Jr., reported finding illegal images among his father's abandoned belongings in the Philippines, prompting the FBI to raid two Los Angeles storage units.
