After listening to this NPR story about concerns that jails and prisons will become incubators for Coronavirus, and after reading there are now two confirmed cases of Coronavirus in Missoula County, I was going to write a post highlighting the fact political prisoner Brandon Bryant is still in jail.

But when I checked the jail roster I discovered Bryant was released yesterday.

This would indicate Bryant underwent a mental health assessment and was deemed NOT an imminent threat to our Missoula community.

Will a global pandemic slow the stride of the Missoula County Attorney’s office as Matt Jennings prepares his case against Brandon Bryant on felony charges?

Stay tuned as local media catches up to this latest development in the Brandon Bryant affair.
