@cbctop_mirror I admire the Senator’s bravery, but I also wonder how he could possibly verify the man’s identity.

Would YOU trust this prison to be honest about such things?

@grammasaurus @cbctop_mirror you can do it many ways.
There's ofc the facial recognition.
The blood test (he is a parent, a reverse blood test would tell you if he is rhé dad or not) so therefore if he is who they say he is.
The unique tattoos shapes and placements.

@YvanDaSilva @cbctop_mirror Those things “could” be done—true.

Maybe I’ve watched too many crime drama shows but I assume what’s more likely to happen is that a senator will be on one side of a gate or piece of glass, a detained man will be on the other side, and they’ll use a phone to talk, or a translator. I also assume any contact will be brief, and heavily monitored.
