Jan. 6 Detainees Confined 23 Hours a Day, Attorneys Say
The Epoch Times ^ | July 5, 2021 | ISABEL VAN BRUGEN

Dozens detained in federal prison awaiting trial following the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol building are being subject to solitary confinement, lack of required medical care, and restricted access to defense counsel, according to two attorneys and the father of a defendant.

Of the close to 500 arrests made so far in connection with the Jan. 6 incident, lawyers John Pierce and Steven Metcalf II, who represent several of the defendants, told EpochTV’s “The Nation Speaks” that some detainees who are being held pre-trial face solitary confinement for 23 hours a day in conditions that are “unconstitutional” and violate “every single basic human right.”

Hey, ALCU, get with the program!

Seriously, though, this really is a national disgrace right before our eyes.

As I understand it, most will end up being charged with misdemeanors.

In conrast, violent felons are being released on low or no bail in leftist-run cities across the country. Some are even having their charges dropped altogether.

Eventually, Americans might need to storm the Bastille if the courts and the Supreme Court refuse to do their duty.

Welcome to the USSA comrade, where federal law enforcement(LE) is a tool of the political left (commies). And if you live in a blue state then state LE is too.

It’s an American gulag and it MUST come to an end. The courts have their chance right now to do the right thing and prevent big problems.

These people have an excellent class action law suit when released.

OR there is NO justice.

In a normal world a demonstration or two would bring attention to this.

But the Gangster State has made sure now that we all know that no such demonstration would be tolerated, and the same fate will meet anyone who protests in favor of these misdemeanorists.

Remember the pix of the scarecrow Pelosi standing in front of “her” troops encamped around “her” Capitol?

The Mafia Girl from Italy brings her world to the Americans, just one generation off the boat.

Political prisoners who will not be released until they plead guilty to trumped up charges and publicly repudiate Trump and MAGA.

Political prisoners. The federal jails are becoming gulags. Rioting, burning and killing gets a pass if you’re on the left, while being a Trump supporter in itself is now a crime.

No one in the Justice Department or the court system wants to admit what’s really going on.

I saw this game with the folks arrested in Oregon during the 2016 Oregon Standoff.

Heck a federal judge, a retired one visited the arrested men in their lockup and told ones like Ammon Bundy “you are not being released”.

People did nothing violent but were held without bail.

Its Gitmo conditions in America because those arrested over the Capitol Incident of January 6th are considered:

“Terrorists”

or as the term has been added to our lexicon post 9/11

“Domestic Terrorists”

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 it will time to remember a lot of things including how the USA became a police state where Americans would be called “terrorists” after 9/11.

And how the USA and allied nations ended up killing and imprisoning Bin Laden and the leaders of Al Qaeda while recruiting the followers of Al Qaeda to fight in wars in Libya and Syria.

We made terrorists our allies and Americans into terrorists after 9/11.

I got so sick of hearing the Kenyan from Indonesia say that.

He has no idea who we are, he did not set foot on the mainland USA until college.

To: gloryblaze; null and void
The ALCU is not on their side. The ALCU is on the other side. These people are on their own. And you can bet your ass that those who were are on medication[s] are not getting them. These are 100% Political prisoners and the charges are 99 % trumped up. And the other 1% due to their stupidity. Putting their feet on Pelosi’s desk or just being there. It is another demonstration that the Constitution is Null and Void[Sorry about that Nully. I know that is your screen name]. However, the sheep, with their heads far up their asses pretend that it is still in effect.
