A letter from Nathan DeGrave, imprisoned in Washington, D.C., reveals that these prisoners are suffering cruel and unusual punishment for their political views.
In 2020, BLM, Antifa, and opportunists rampaged through American cities, looting, burning, and assaulting and even murdering people. Leftists, including most major American corporations, contributed millions of dollars to various BLM funds, including funds to release those few who were arrested from prison. Most suffered minimal to no consequences. Meanwhile, nine months after the riot on January 6—which Tucker Carlson seems poised to expose once and for all as a false-flag operation—Americans who accepted the Capitol Police’s invitation to enter the Capitol are quite literally being tortured in prison.
The Conservative Treehouse has published a letter from Nathan DeGrave (originally in Brad Geyer’s Twitter thread relaying what DeGrave told him). DeGrave describes himself as “a non violent participant at the Jan 6th rally.”
The contents are stomach-churning. The psychological abuse, physical neglect, and denial of legal rights grossly violate the 8th Amendment’s promise that no Americans shall be subject to “cruel and unusual punishment”—something especially applicable here because none of the people being treated this way have been convicted.
The January 6 prisoners have also been denied their 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial. Given the D.C. forum, they’re likely, as well, to be denied the 6th Amendment’s guarantee of an impartial jury. Instead, they’ve been imprisoned for nine months without trial or bail, almost all for non-violent offenses.
DeGrave describes in some detail the following abuses:
-For the first four months, 23-24 hours a day solitary confinement.
-Denial of access to personal hygiene......

It seems they are being treated much worse than the terrorist prisoners at GITMO.
ALL Americans are also political prisoners (albeit
imprisoned cruelly politically in other ways)
of this corrupt pedophilic
DO”J”-FB”I”-UN-protected
by-Election-fraudulent Administration.
Horrible conditions for our own citizens.....
...while illegals get paid to break the law
May this letter wake up the people and be widely distributed.....
.....and may those imprisoned be set free and hugely compensated!!!!
It was my thought when I began to read this article that the Congressmen that grilled Garland last week should have brought this up and insisted that the political prisoners be all released.
Further, that prison warden and the guards concerned should take their place.
Nothing was done about it. biden and his corrupt administration are still in power. So it will happen again, until all the normal people in this country have been beaten into submission.
Nathaniel DeGrave. January 6th Political Prisoner. A Personal Account
And these victims given recompense.
Let me encourage all FReepers to email their U.S. Senators and their House Representative - and demand that they immediately take legal action to release all Jan 6th political prisoners who are being denied their 6th and 8th Amendment rights. Otherwise, tell them you will hold them complicit in denying Americans their Constitutional rights.

Is this a warning from Queen Nazi Pelosi ... don’t violate my castle or you will suffer my wrath?
For a trespassing charge at most. Insanity.
Nathan DeGrave says in the letter some of the prisoners are begging to be sent to GITMO where the conditions are better and they'll be treated better. From the letter:
The guards are mostly liberal migrants from Africa who have been conditioned to hate us, and hate America. Jan 6ers have been mocked, beaten and ridiculed by guards for singing the National Anthem.Anyone in the GOP calling for an investigation?The Corrections Officers despise our politics and the love have for this country. At one point, an officer even yelled “F[***] AMERICA!”, and threatened to lock us down FOR A WEEK if we attempted to sing the National Anthem again.
Didn't think so.
My senators are Warnock and Ossoff. My House rep is also a Democrat. They’re pretty happy with the situation.
Queen Nancy is nothing more than the husk of a human body animated by a demon. Biden, too.
Pelosi.. ringleader.
The rest are just orcs.
One of my Senator's is Bob Casey (D). I'm not bashful to let him know what I think about about this and any other issue. IMHO - we should all tell our reps what we think regardless of them agreeing or disagreeing with us.
I would encourage you to write your reps in any case and respectfully but forcefully voice your thoughts regarding Jan 6th American protesters being denied their 6th & 8th Amendment rights and rotting in DC prisons. Point out that this is a civil rights and Constitutional rights issue that transends politics.
Regardless of any negative reply you receive, you will have let your reps know that there are Americans who are mad as hell for the illegal and uncivil treatment of January 6th protesters.
