Shawshank for January 6 Detainees
The government argues the events of January 6 along with the defendants’ skepticism about the outcome of the 2020 election are evidence the accused are a threat to society.

“I’ve been in solitary confinement for a hundred days now and haven’t been convicted of any crime with no end in sight.”
That was part of a lengthy message Jacob Lang sent to his father, Ned, the last week of April. Jacob was arrested on January 16 in New York and charged with several crimes related to his activity in Washington, D.C. on January 6. Lang, who turned 25 while incarcerated, is accused of assaulting police officers using a dangerous or deadly weapon. The government’s evidence against him appears to be strong. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

D.C. jail treatment of Capitol riot defendants draws bipartisan outrage
"It was a well-thought-out strategic plan" to transfer inmates to D.C., where they can be "mic'd in a cage," lawyer says.

A short drive from the U.S. Capitol, 1,500 inmates are stuck in their jail cells 22 hours a day. Until last month it was 23, and they were also barred from going outside.
A smaller group of inmates may have it even worse: those awaiting trial for alleged crimes in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. They've been placed in "restrictive housing," a maximum-security designation.
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) also cited the Post report in an April 22 floor speech against D.C. statehood. Alleging the city has been "essentially torturing inmates" for more than a year, Higgins said: "That is ultimately a violation of the 8th Amendment ... Is this what we can expect from a D.C. state?"
Comer requested but has not received a briefing with Mayor Muriel Bowser about jail conditions, prompting him to demand Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney hold an emergency hearing on "these gross abuses that are happening right at our doorstep."
Both Bowser and Maloney "have refused the requests asked of them," according to Comer. A spokesperson for Maloney connected Just the News with an Oversight staffer, who has not responded, while Bowser's spokesperson has not responded.
A Department of Corrections spokesperson did not answer email questions and declined to speak on the record in a phone interview.
"Solitary confinement is a form of punishment that is cruel and psychologically damaging," Warren told Politico a month later. The Massachusetts Democrat fears the Jan. 6 defendants are being singled out to "punish" them or "break them so that they will cooperate" with federal prosecutors.
Durbin was surprised to learn about the restrictive housing. It should be a "rare exception" with a "clear justification," the Illinois Democrat told the news outlet, to be used in "very limited circumstances."
Staff for Durbin, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Warren, a member of the Senate Democratic leadership, did not respond to queries for an update on their efforts to get better treatment for the Jan. 6 defendants.
If Russia supports the jan 6 protesters, it is purely for political gain to destabilize the US. Not that we need their help in running this country to the ground, but it's worth pointing out. Just like the CCP, the Russian gov will extend a helping hand one day, and a knife the next if it means keeping the US weak.
Our country is already destabilized. I really dont see how this will make it any worse. Just dont get too cozy with them, obviously they have ulterior motives.
I'm not usually one to psychoanalyze, but at this point, I think I can make a judgement call: It isn't about destabilizing the USA. The USA is solidly unstable already. Russia doesn't need to mess with anything there, in fact, any messing around might be antithetical to that cause.
I think Putin is just a troll. He funds Black Lives Matter in the USA while banning it in Russia. Same for feminist orgs. He had an entire election campaign about gypsy women predicting in crystal balls that Putin would take teenagers' virginities with a tagline of "Putin is for virgin lovers". He rides around shirtless on horses. And he cries in concern of the power of China's economy while being the "R" of the BRIC trade deal. He helps every foreign whistleblower that causes problems, while ousting immigration generally.
He's being contrarian and silly. He's trolling. He's clownpilled, and in it for the lulz.
True.
Agreed.
