Owen Shroyer Describes What Prison Is Like in Leaked Phone Call

Infowars host Owen Shroyer has begun his "life on the outside" after being released from solitary confinement and revealed his plans to host a radio show from inside a federal prison.

Shroyer last week began his 60-day prison sentence for his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots and was placed in solitary confinement for a week at the Federal Correctional Institution Oakdale in Louisiana.

Shroyer was placed in isolation upon his arrival to prison as per its COVID-19 intake safety protocols.

Following his release into the prison's general population, Shroyer delivered a message to his fans about his well being but did not "want to get into what's going on here on the inside."

"I'm much more concerned about what's going on out there," he said in a recorded phone call posted to X, formerly Twitter, on October 31.

"I'm extremely blessed because your prayers have come through."

Shroyer said he was keeping in touch with the news via friends, the prison TV and from a digital radio he was gifted. Rather than talking about the news in the phone call, the podcast host wanted to use his time to thank people for sending in "fan mail."

"To try to express how important it is or what it means to me would simply be impossible. I do somehow plan to show you how grateful I am for that," he said.

"My shirt has grown. I have to wear a double XL shirt now because my heart has grown so much from your fan mail. And also, I'm now wearing double XL pants because, well, I'll just leave that up for your interpretation."

He requested that people "continue to send me the fan mail and uplift me... it's all thanks to your letters," which mean more then they could imagine.

Shroyer said after seven days in solitary confinement he was helped by some "friendlies" as "life on the outside begins."

"Of course, that's being hyperbolic since I'm still on the inside, but when you spend seven days in solitary, getting out and into a jail and being able to move feels like the outside. It was bitter cold today... but let me tell you, the 40 degrees wind and rain couldn't have felt any more refreshing than it did," he said in the almost five-minute message.

He then revealed that he hopes to "pull the impossible" and host his own radio show from inside the federal prison.

"I'm eternally grateful and I cannot wait until the day—return to being live on air with you. Thank you my friends, my family and my fellow patriots. Godspeed. And God bless," Shroyer concluded.

The radio host was sentenced in September for "amping up" the mob with chants that furthered the riot at a sensitive moment during the January 6 riots that were a protest against the defeat of President Donald Trump in the 2020 elections.

Prosecutors said even though Shroyer did not enter the Capitol, many of his fans who listened to him did and he eventually pled guilty to breaching restricted grounds.

Trump himself was indicted for his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results following an investigation by Special Counsel Jack Smith who accused him of conspiring to obstruct the role of Congress in certifying the 2020 election results.

Trump has pleaded not guilty and maintained he is innocent. His lawyers called for the case to be dismissed "on the basis of selective and vindictive prosecution," in a motion filed on Monday, October 23.
