Hello,
Those detained/persecuted from January 6 are suffering terrible conditions. A man who was free awaiting trial recently took his own life. Now imagine how they're treating the ones they've detained. Nathan Degrave, in his letter here, describes some of the following:
- 23, sometimes 24 hour lockdowns/solitary confinement.
- Dirty water from faucet, leaks causing flooding / mold in cell
- Forced to wear masks 24/7
- Legal visits take 2-3 weeks to arrange
- Inmate had his legal discovery documents taken by guards
- Inmate beaten & left for dead by migrant African guards after trying to organize a Bible study
- Scurvy/inmate needing breathing machine/broken hand largely ignored by medical personnel
- Severe nutritional deficiencies
- Physical and mental anguish
This is beyond inhumane. This is something straight out of medieval times. Alright? But luckily, we can make it better for them.
#1) Write your REPS-IT'S VERY EASY READ BELOW- and demand action taken to investigate & improve the conditions for these political prisoners.
Go here:
https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
Type in your address, or if you're a privacy freak, the address of a restaurant in your city.
This site will return a photo of your congressperson along with their name. Click on their name and it'll take you to their website. From there, there is usually a button that says "contact" along the top of the page. Fill it out using info, whether real or anonymous, and let them know that you have disdain for the way these guys are being treated and that you want to see action(s) taken to fix this. You can even link the article up above with Nathan Degrave's letter.

-- WHAT'S THAT? SOME OF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP FURTHER? --
AFTER you have done the above, there are two more things you can do.
#2) Check these individuals out on https://americangulag.org/individuals/
#3) Write them a letter PROVIDE MENTAL SUPPORT Go here: https://www.patriotfreedomproject.com/connect-with-a-1/6er
(so that they don't lose their minds from solitary confinement, pick a random one YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRITE YOUR NAME OR RETURN ADDRESS ON THE LETTER (Note that it will probably be read by guards)).
One of them who has gone out of his way to request mail/legal reading material is Jake Chansley
I just emailed my Representative, a "D", with this:
Dear Representative Delgado:
I would like to know what you are doing in regard to the un-Constitutional treatment of the people arrested in association with the January 6, 2020 demonstration at the Capital. Here is a brief list of some of the things happening to these people, who have been held without bail, and often denied proper legal representation:
I hope you will let me know what you will do to protect the Constitutional rights of these prisoners. Although some may have legitimately broken into the Capital, many just got caught up with the crowd, have no criminal record, and certainly don't deserve the treatment they are receiving.
Sincerely,
xxxxxxx
I had to revise my first draft because I included a sentence on the order of, "As a Democrat, you may have thought, "they are Trump supporters and deserve it".... but thought I should tone it down :)
Letter looks great but I would change the date. It should be January 6, 2021.
Crap! Thanks for catching that (the Democrat Rep probably won't catch it :) )
