The US Marshals Service (USMS) announced Tuesday that it will move 400 detainees out of a Washington DC jail after an “unannounced inspection” found they were being held in unacceptable conditions that did not meet federal standards.
Approximately 400 prisoners — all pretrial detainees — are being moved to a federal penitentiary in Pennsylvania, the Marshals Service revealed to The Washington Post. The DC jail at the center of the matter is where defendants in the deadly January 6 Capitol riot are currently being held.
The US Marshals Service released its statement on its inspection at the DC jail on Tuesday.
“The USMS inspection was prompted by recent and historical concerns raised regarding conditions at the DC DOC facilities, including those recently raised by various members of the judiciary,” the Marshals Service said.
Prisoner movement from the Capitol, you say
I don't like how NOBODY on our side is making a giant stink about the fact that Jan 6 was a PEACEFUL PATRIOT PROTEST and that the MAGA folks respected the velvet ropes while criminal antifa thugs in patriot disguises along with crooked DC cops and FBI agents were the only ones who were violent assholes. Why is this not the first thing out of everyone's mouth at press conferences and shit? Americans were imprisoned for exercising their Constitutionally protected Civil Rights to assemble peaceably and petition govt for a redress of grievances! They are being tortured with solitary confinement in wretched, squalid conditions! It's an outrage of the highest order! What the actual FUCK, you useless fucking republican politicians?
Needs to be for those above them calling the shots
Maybe they'll be sent to the 400 cells that have been vacated....
I have been inside DC jail many times in the past. Not inmate but in a delivering product capacity. Straight up shithole. Super dangerous. Very lacking security. The jailers were more like buddies with the inmates. A few times I had been inside with my manager who used to make the deliveries and the inmates knew who he was and all told him how much they missed him and asked if he could stay a while. They were mentally torturing him and the guards played along.
The article specifically states that no Jan 6 people are being moved.
Think logically. What did we see last week at the Supreme Court?
The article attached to this post states that no Jan 6 people are being moved during this 400 prisoner US Marshal transfer.

So are they moving the Jan 6. Capitol Event prisoners out?
They don't work for federal government. It's a DC run jail. The feds don't have a jail in DC.
Marshall service is responsible for all federal pretrial detainees no matter where they store them. I'm sure this has alot to do with what was stated by Judge holding the jailers responsible. The judge is federal and the Marshall service works directly for him.
As well as DC gets a per diem for storing federal inmates in DC JAIL.
That's what I'm thinking.
no. the article addresses that.
Took long enough.
I’d hope this means they get a payday at the end, but as we all know, it’s not like the perpetrators will have to pay anything. It’ll come out of taxpayer money, and the ones that did this shit will just be quietly transferred to another job somewhere else, likely with promotions.
DC is such a hell hole. May it never become a state.
