(Quote) .,. It has been 3 months since the January 6th riots and one of the men awaiting trial on charges related to the riot has claimed that he was beaten to a “bloody pulp” by a prison guard — an attack that has caused him to suffer ongoing seizures. Others arrested following the attack on the Capitol have reported being limited to their cells for 23 hours a day in solitary confinement even though they have not been convicted of any crime.
Ryan Samsel, who has been charged with “assaulting a police officer at the Capitol on Jan. 6,” has come forward to allege the abuse he has suffered from “two guards at the D.C. jail.” His complaint to the court was that these two guards “beat him last month, breaking his nose, dislocating his jaw and leaving him suffering seizures.”
“This is unjustified, and the way that these guys are being treated is completely unreasonable, it’s wholly unconstitutional,” his attorney said in an interview. “It doesn’t matter what these guys are being charged with. All of these guys are still pretrial detention; they have not been convicted of any crimes. And this is what they’ve been forced to endure.”
