The DC Detention Facility, where January 6 detainees are being held, has refused to allow Representatives Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, and Louie Gohmert to tour the facility to see how the inmates are being treated amid reports of torturous, inhumane treatment. The facility received a letter last week informing them that the Representatives would be coming by to tour the prison, but received no response.
When the Representatives attempted to tour the facility, they were accused of trespassing and seemingly threatened with arrest. While inside, the warden lied to the Representatives, saying that a superintendent was outside waiting to speak to them. When the members of Congress walked out to speak to the supposed superintendent, the doors were locked behind them. The prison is a public building and the Representatives had arrived during business hours.
Despite this, the members of Congress have been literally locked out of the jail. An attorney who arrived alongside the Representatives has also been prevented from seeing his client.
This is absolute horse shit.
