There are January 6 defendants imprisoned in Washington, DC but we don’t hear about them. How are they being treated? Are they allowed access to their due process of law? Three Representatives don’t think so after touring the facility last November. But now, Republicans aren’t even allowed in. If Republicans take the majority in November there will at least be an investigation into this.
January 6 news is one sided
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green witnessed their condition. They may not be able to bathe often. They were “filthy, dirty, and disgusting.”
They may be malnourished. Green mentioned a lack of “decent food”, a “fair trial” and “medical treatment”. Two of the men have been denied medical care for a mutilated finger and discolored arm.

January 6 is very politicized
Green thought they were being “politically persecuted” and being used as “pawns” to keep conservatives from contesting the 2020 election any further. There’s been no proof of guilty or judicial conclusion. One individual, Andrew Takke, has actually been transferred to a maximum security facility.
On November 2021 Green tweeted out in a several tweet thread,
“Last night we toured the DC jail. My staff and I are writing a full report this morning on our 3+ hour long tour. I’ve never seen human suffering like I witnessed last night. While some were shown to us in seemingly beneficial programs, others were in tortuous lockdown. Some inmates were receiving continuing education classes, others were truly suffering from long stays in solitary confinement for “bad behavior.” I’ll never forget hearing their screams. This was in a different part of the jail, not the J6 part. Being alone surely is hell.”
The January 6 hearings
Are just another show. The Washington, DC Mayor, Muriel Bowser, is silent. Green said, “I’ve sent her a letter, I’ve called her, I’ve been to her office, and we are still getting no response.”
Both Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and President Trump weighed in on this. Both said something will be done if they have the power to do so. Gaetz said, “If we’re in the majority, I do believe the Judiciary Committee is the appropriate place to use compulsory tools to get those responses.” Trump said, “If I run and if I win. We will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly. And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons. Because they are being treated so unfairly.”
