We reported last month when U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth held D.C. jail officials in contempt of court for denying the rights of one of the Jan. 6 defendants, because officials refused to turn over medical records so that the defendant could get proper treatment for a broken hand.
Lamberth asked for an investigation into the conditions the detainees were experiencing at the D.C jail.
As a consequence, Lamberth has now ordered the release of one of the detainees, Christopher Worrell - that man whose rights the judge had already said were violated.
Some 400 prisoners are being moved out of the jail after the "Deplorable" conditions were uncovered.
The D.C. Department of Corrections staff were "Antagonizing detainees" and "Directing detainees to not cooperate with" U.S. Marshals during the inspection, the agency said, and "[o]ne DOC staffer was observed telling a detainee to 'stop snitching.
Most of the Jan. 6 defendants were being held in another facility, the Central Treatment Facility, not the D.C. jail.
Many don't care if Jan. 6 detainees are mistreated.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
