A DESPERATE PLEA FROM A PRISONER OF WARโ€” Nathan DeGrave, a Patriot held prisoner at the infamous DC Jail, has written a heart-wrenching cry for help smuggled to the outside with the help of his lawyer: Dear fellow Americans: I never thought I'd write a letter like this, but weโ€™re living in very different times. This is my cry for help. My name is Nathan DeGrave, and as a non violent participant at the Jan 6th rally, Iโ€™ve spent the last 9 months detainedas a political prisoner in pod C2B at the DC DOCโ€ฆotherwise known as DCโ€™s Gitmo. The conditions here for Jan 6ers have been inhumane. In fact, some inmates are even begging to be transferred to GUANTANAMO BAY, where even THEY have more acceptable standards. Class action LAWSUITS are being filed against this prison; and even the ACLU has gotten involved. Senators Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene have since attempted to gain access to this facility and inspect the conditions of the jail, only to be denied. (Cont. below) ...The vile filth of what has become our daily life is being illegally HIDDEN from the members of OUR OWN CONGRESS. Soโ€ฆlet me tell you about what me and many of the other Jan 6ers have been experiencing in DCโ€™s Gitmo. It is my hope that with MEDIA EXPOSURE and the awareness of the American public, that SOMETHING may be done and this never happens to anyone ever again. OUR CONDITIONS For the first 120 days in DCโ€™s Gitmo, Jan 6ers experienced DAILY LOCKDOWNS for 23-24 HOURS before being allowed to leave our small 120 sq. ft cell. The PHYSICAL and MENTAL ANGUISH that results from this kind of SEVERE ISOLATION has caused many people to go on a RAPID mental decline. As a result, a large percentage of us are HEAVILY MEDICATED with anti-anxiety and anti-depressant drugs, which helps to cope with the psychological and mental ABUSE we endure. Many times, the little rec we DO receive is STRIPPED AWAY if our cell isnโ€™t up to the standards of the guard on duty. This changes from day to day. Jan 6ers have lost rec time and out of cell activity ANY TIME news interviews about the jail are aired on TV, people speak up about our conditions, or rallies are held in our name. Weโ€™ll probably have a lockdown upon the publishing of this letter. So I have already warned those I know in advance.. Masks are WEAPONIZED and used against us, even though we NEVER leave the facility. Officers have walked in with the SOLE INTENTION of needing to write 20-30 disciplinary reports against Jan 6ers, which adversely effects our chances of release and causes loss of privileges, phone time and commissary. Masks need to be covering both the nose and mouth AT ALL TIMES or we are threatened and locked down in our cells. Jan 6ers are always respectful to the employees around us, but C.Os maintain the need to invent reasons for discipline. This letter is continued in the comments section of this post
