Multiple Jan. 6 defendants were taken out of their cells on stretchers on Thursday, according to a court filing.
The situation started when one of the defendants refused to wear a mask, family members of Kelly Meggs, who is being held in the D.C. Jail, told Meggs lawyer.
Prison guards began spraying a chemical substance described as “some kind of mace or pepper spray, according to a filing in federal court.
“They sprayed mace or some type of gas at an inmate and kept missing so it went into an intake that fed into other cells and the lady with the key left because she didn’t like the gas, so the inmates in the cells who were being fed the gas from that intake were locked in for like 15 minutes while it was going into their rooms and they couldn’t see/breathe,” the family told Jonathon Moseley, the lawyer.
More than one of the defendants was taken out on stretchers to medical bays.
Julie Kelly, a writer for the American Greatness, reported on Wednesday that prison guards filled an area of the jail with chemical spray and three detainees had to be taken out on stretchers.
Moseley and the D.C. Department of Corrections did not respond to requests for comment.
The lawyer said his client was not in one of the cells that the gas was cycled into by the ventilation system. He urged the court to explore with the Bureau of Prisons and Congress whether any federal funds are already or can be allocated to repair and upgrade the D.C. Jail facilities.

The Never-Trumperist McCain-Lovers should be appalled, but in actuality, McCain was not against “torture,” as he just used it to prop himself up. The rest of the McCain-Obama-Cheney-Biden wing of the Dempublican/Repocrat Party support torture and murder of the American oppostion.
Just why are any of them in the DC jail.
Geez we’ve got our own frigging Lubyanka here
Gassing political prisoners? What has America become?
Because the Left can put them there and the Right won’t do shit about. To the Right, their money is more important than their freedom. And they can keep saying, “we got guns.”
They would put them all in a secret mass grave if they thought they could get away with it.
And they may yet decide to do it anyway.
Someone needs to get a list of all the guards who work in that prison together. When this is all over, I think that there are going to have to be some criminal prosecutions over how these prisoners have been tortured and America needs to know the names of these scum.
Thank-you.
When repubs take back the house and senate THAT DAY they need to arrest PELOSI and co and put them in the same jail they put these poor people in. These people are being arrested for “trespassing” and “parading” while murderers are being set free on no bail? Justice for who?
Nuremburg has nothing on these monsters.
A lot of things need to happen. Nothing will happen until the people take back government from the monsters.
Soviet Union.
"Btw, th article is from November, don’t know if anyone noticed that."
Almighty God’s Divine Wrath cannot come down on the District of Corruption soon enough.
A gigantic, smoldering crater and charred ashes are all that should remain of that Satanic cesspool of pedophiles, murderers, liars, creeps, and other psychopaths.
May Almighty God Smite those evil creatures straight to Hell for their campaign of malicious hatred and destruction toward We The People.
The only ones that I am aware of speaking for these political prisoners are MTG and Gaetz, but especially MTG. I read that many republicans fear speaking out on their behalf because of the concern they will be labeled as insurrectionist sympathizers. Only 2 people in the entire Congress are speaking out - there may be more but if they are, they are very quiet. Republicans are to be loathed.
Omg what the heck was I thinking?
So ???
Beginning to sound like the jail system you’d find in La Paz, Bolivia.
It’s been one of those years...
Biden’s gulag is running smoothly.
