Republicans on the House Oversight Committee want a tour of the D.C. Department of Correctional facilities where Jan. 6 detainees are locked up.
In a letter to D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia Republican and James Comer, Kentucky Republican, listed numerous accusations of abuse against Jan. 6 detainees in the D.C. jail facilities and requested Ms. Bowser arrange for a congressional delegation to visit and review the facilities.
Ms. Greene described her findings about the treatment of the Jan. 6 detainees in a report released in December 2021. The Georgia Republican toured the D.C. jail and, she said, detainees revealed to her evidence of “abuse and neglect” they had endured under the watch of Corrections employees. According to the letter, there were accusations of food being served with chemicals or other substances and of food allergies not being accommodated.“Rep. Greene witnessed non-January 6 detainees receiving instruction from law school students about how to handle their pending matters in court,” the letter stated.
A team of eight U.S. Marshals conducted an unannounced inspection and review of the D.C. jail from Oct. 18 to Oct. 23, 2021, after a U.S. District Court found that DOC Director Quincy Booth and Warden Wanda Patten violated a detainee’s civil rights. Although the Justice Department announced 400 Jan. 6 detainees would be transferred from D.C. jail, the Oversight Committee said that, as far as it knows, “none of the January 6-detainees were part of the group removed from the DC Jail Facilities.”
