New photos have been leaked from a Philadelphia prison, exposing the horrific conditions that a Jan. 6 prisoner is being subjected to.
The images show Jan. 6 prisoner Ryan Samsel pictured in the closet room he has been held in isolation for the past five months.
Samsel has been held in prison without trial since January 2021.
During his two-and-a-half years in jail, Ryan has been moved around to 17 different facilities.
He has been beaten, abused, tortured, and neglected since his arrest in January 2021.
The new photos were leaked from the FDC in Philadelphia to The Gateway Pundit.
The cell was a size of a closet with a light on 24 hours a day.
The cell doesn’t have a bed and only offers a thin blue mattress on the floor with no sheets or blankets.
With no clothing, Samsel was kept in this cell for five months straight.
In a conversation this week, Samsel told The Gateway Pundit: “I was kept in … a hard cell.
“And in that particular cell about five, six months. I even told you what was happening is the judge was actually calling, trying to get in contact with me because I wasn’t in a named cell.
“They were missing me and they were saying I wasn’t showing up to court.
“They were saying I wasn’t showing up to medical.
“But they were pretty much keeping me in there…
“Like I said, it was cold, the light was on, there’s zero window.
“And that followed me from Virginia. When I was in Virginia, it was the same exact conditions.”
Ryan described the same situation in Virginia.
“It was Central Regional Virginia Jail (CVRJ),” he recalled.
“I was kept in and they called it booking hard cell, which is you get zero phone, zero commissary, zero clothing because they think that you’re going to hang yourself and you’re on constant surveillance.
“You’re under surveillance constantly.
“The light has to be on 24/7. You’re locked in a cell.
“There is no getting out,” he noted.
“The windows in Virginia were covered by a black mat, so you weren’t able to see.
“And it’s constant nothing. It’s deprivation of everything.”
Samsel believes the government tortured him for months so he would testify against the Proud Boys.
Samsel says he was beaten numerous times and was kept locked down so he couldn’t communicate with anyone.
He is not alone, however.
Numerous Jan. 6 prisoners have been held for months in torturous conditions, dozens have been sentenced to extreme sentences for non-violent crimes.
A fundraising campaign has been set up to help raise money for Sansels legal fees.
This is OK and not a big deal from what I am being told on FR on other threads.
the US now has political prisoners just like any other corrupt 3rd world hellhole
What? No soccer fields?
Those who hijacked government are capable of any atrocities. They prove this daily.
That photo looks like he dragged his mat into a shower and posed. Not saying he’s lying, but I’d be interested in hearing more. If he truly lived in a jail shower for months, then it is indeed torture.
Gitmo is a resort by comparison.
Where are Amnesty International, the American Civil Liberties Union, and all of the liberal churches who seek social justice?
They are certainly not starving him.
Pray for the Downfall of this Evil Regime !
Ignoring the debate about his conditions, what about incarcerating someone for two and a half years without a trial? That is true totalitarianism. And it’s their way of letting us know they can do it to any of us anytime they choose.
“This is OK and not a big deal from what I am being told on FR on other threads.”
Yup! and it didn’t take the village fed idiot long to voice his support for torture in this case. he must have been thrilled to learn that an unarmed white female veteran was assassinated point blank by an armed male black perp capitol Hill cop.
or that a young American college student was held in N. Korea and tortured for daring to disrespect a communist piece of propaganda. and then his lifeless body being sent back to America as a message.
yet he was likely a big defender of a dope smoking commie held in Russia to be used as leverage in a back room deal with despot dictators in D.C.
he may have even been in attendance when obama had a Rose Garden celebration for an army deserter after he made a deal with the devil.
All J6 prisoners should ‘convert to islam’. That will get them civil rights, religious rights, soccer fields, a special diet, communal prayer time 5 times a day and his family will get a stipend from the DoD budget.
Time to get names of his jailers, their families, and where they live. It would make a good peaceful protest!
In 2006, Samsel allegedly attempted to pull a woman off the road because she owed him $60, and then allegedly punched her windshield and threatened to kill her.
In 2007, Samsel allegedly got into a man’s car and assaulted him in the face, leaving him toothless and bloodied, police said.
In 2009, Samsel was convicted on simple assault, after he choked, beat, pushed, and chipped the teeth of a woman he kept against her will for five hours.
In 2011, Samsel was convicted of simple assault, reckless endangerment and more after smashing a hot pizza in his pregnant girlfriend’s face, beating her, pouring beer over her head, and then throwing her into a canal. He then attempted to drown her, police said.
In 2015, Samsel was convicted of simple assault for choking a woman into unconsciousness and hit her so hard he gave her a hematoma, police said.
In 2019, a woman accused Samsel of choking her until unconscious, then breaking into her home and assaulting her, and then raping her, police said.
No more 8th amendment in our constitution, if you are Republican.
Speaking of that murdering Lieutenant in the Capitol Police, Trump and company should mention every day that there is no statute of limitations on murder and his day is coming. Sleep well.
so you’re against a trial then?
This story reads like a chapter out of the Gulag Archipelago.
