spent the last nine months in a special prison block at the D.C. Department of Corrections.
@jolly said in Letters From Jail:
subjected to a starvation diet under which DeGrave has lost 15 pounds
Okay. I thought this was funny. He has lost 15 pounds over nine months. Just over one pound a month. Doesn't seem like much of a starvation diet.
@jolly said in Letters From Jail:
now fears he would be unrecognizable to his family
LOL Did he only weigh 16 pounds to begin with? 555

Not right if true.
Does it sound very likely to you?
That's the question, isn't it? What if it is true? What if half of it is true?

@jolly said in Letters From Jail:
Just a dumb question...If locked in a cell with one hour's exercise per day, would you lose weight?
Depends on how much food I was given. If 2000 calories a day, then yeah, I probably would because I’m a fatass…

Agreed!

What if none of it is true?
It doesn't sound very likely. Imported African guards who are indoctrinated to hate America, somebody being savagely beaten for a bible class, somebody losing 15 pounds and being unrecognizable to his family?
To be honest, it sounds a little delusional.

Medical conditions requiring breathing machines
Listen, I’m willing to listen to some of this and do agree that these guys being “disappeared” like they have is sickening, but this sounds suspiciously like exaggerations… Would this medical condition happen to be Sleep Apnea?

The D.C. Corrections Department for a second time turned away two House lawmakers seeking to check the prison conditions of Jan. 6 defendants locked up in the troubled facility.
A jailer told Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Louie Gohmert, “We’re finished,” as they pressed for entry and were denied.
“What are you hiding?” asked Greene, who has helped to lead the effort to free the defendants. “As members of Congress, we have oversight over the district,” she said in a video she posted to Twitter.
She wrote on the platform, “Today @replouiegohmert and myself were denied entry to visit Louie’s constituent & conduct oversight at the DC jail. I’m extremely concerned about the treatment of J6 defendants & now ALL inmates being held there.”

@jolly said in Letters From Jail:
Probably.
The bottom line, is why are these guys still in jail? People charged with much more serious crime are out on bail in hours.
That’s a completely fair question, and one that should be answered. Unfortunately, I believe the article you posted risks undermining the case for that.

Has anyone filed habeas corpus? It seems like the right first step, which is why we have that doctrine....

The U.S. Constitution specifically includes the habeas procedure in the Suspension Clause (Clause 2), located in Article One, Section 9. This states that "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it".
Public safety! That's the ticket! Don't want no unlawful parading! Waving flags might put your eye out!
