Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Describes Horrific Conditions Of Jailed January 6th Prisoners
Hundreds of Trump-supporting Americans are being held in horrific conditions in a Washington, DC jail and very few leaders seem interested in talking about it or trying to help them.
The people who have been arrested over January 6th are reportedly being treated like less than humans.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene toured the facility and what she found there is a national shame.
The Hill reports:
Greene granted permission to enter ‘patriot wing’ of DC jail to visit Jan. 6 defendants
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) was finally granted access late Thursday night to enter the D.C. Department of Corrections to visit accused Jan. 6 rioters after months of trying.
Her office confirmed her visit in a statement, saying she had visited the “patriot wing” of the D.C. Jail on a three-hour tour and spoken directly with the accused Jan. 6 rioters.
Her office added that Greene was granted access only after “months of requesting access with letter after letter and call after call.”
Greene took to Twitter to describe the visit and said Friday, “I have never seen human suffering like I witnessed last night.”
Read her tweets below. This is an outrage.
1. 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.

2. 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.
— Marjorie Taylor Greene
3. At what seemed the end of our tour as we were being led toward the exit, we had not seen the J6 defendants yet.
I asked to see them & was told it was not part of my tour.
I demanded to see them and would have gone scorched earth if I was not allowed and was making it known.
— Marjorie Taylor Greene
4. Phone calls were made & permission was given.
We then were taken to another section of the jail and entered the Patriot wing.
I was greeted by men with overwhelming cheers who rushed out to meet me with tears streaming down their faces.
They have felt forgotten & hopeless.
— Marjorie Taylor Greene
5. It was like walking into a prisoner of war camp and seeing men who eyes can’t believe someone had made it in to see them.
They are suffering greatly.
Virtually no medical care, very poor food quality, and being put through re-education which most of them are rejecting.
— Marjorie Taylor Greene
6. Our detailed report will outline everything we saw in every area of the jail we were allowed to see, on behalf of all inmates.
Cont’d
— Marjorie Taylor Greene
7. I am committed to ending this political war and seeing that our justice system is never used against Americans as a political weapon ever again.
I am also beginning a plan for real prison reform.
Our nation is broken and our people are divided.
It’s time to fix it.
— Marjorie Taylor Greene
This story and these people are not getting nearly enough attention.
