Tensions are running high between guards and inmates at a D.C. jail housing many of the defendants in Jan. 6 cases, with at least one of those prisoners alleging that he was brutally beaten by correctional officers.

In an unusual direct plea to the judge, Sandlin said another Capitol riot defendant, Ryan Samsel, "was severely beaten by correctional officers, [is now] blind in one eye, has a skull fracture and detached retina."

Sandlin also described racial tension between minority guards and the largely white defendants, some of whom have been publicly accused of membership in or association with white supremacist groups.

Sandlin said guards tackled "to the ground" one high-profile prisoner, Richard Barnett, 60, who was photographed with his boot up on a desk in Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office. Sandlin said one of the guards declared, "I hate all white people and your honky religion."

One veteran D.C. defense attorney said many Capitol rioters were new to the District's jail system and might believe they're being specifically targeted when they're simply unfamiliar with being in jail at all — particularly in the harsh conditions of 23-hour-a-day isolation.

Capitol riot defendant alleges beating by jail guards

A man accused in the Jan. 6 unrest was left partially blind and moved to another facility, lawyers say.

A man accused of assaulting a police officer at the Capitol on Jan. 6 alleges that two guards at the D.C. jail beat him last month, breaking his nose, dislocating his jaw and leaving him suffering seizures.

An attorney for Ryan Samsel, 38, detailed the allegations in an interview Tuesday, saying he has been told the incident is under investigation by the jail and federal authorities.

According to Metcalf, the incident, as related to him by his client, began the afternoon of March 20 when Samsel complained that the guards had taken hours to get him toilet paper. An argument ensued. That evening, according to Metcalf, Samsel was moved to another cell. Around midnight, the lawyer said, two guards came to that cell, restrained Samsel's arms behind his back with zip-tie handcuffs and "beat him to a bloody pulp."

Samsel has been in detention since his arrest in late March. The Bucks County, Pa., resident is accused of using a barricade to push an officer outside the Capitol to the ground, knocking her unconscious.

According to prosecutors, Samsel then helped the officer back up and said, "We don't have to hurt you. Why are you standing in our way?" She later collapsed while arresting another rioter and went to an emergency room, where she was told she suffered a concussion.

Later, according to court records, Samsel attempted to take a riot shield from an officer.

Other inmates have complained through attorneys about conditions in the D.C. Central Detention Facility, but no others have alleged assaults by the guards.

In my experience, the people working in Corrections are arch conservative. Like, diehard conservatives.

They aren't beating you for your political beliefs, my dude. They're beating you because they do that to prisoners who make their job difficult. You'd probably know that if prison reform wasn't a "liberal" concept that you decry constantly.

No one said that shit.

But maybe they are getting their asses kicked by prison guards; that's not too much of a stretch given the connection to law enforcement. But that's a case for moving them to a different facility, not to let them out.

You know in her mind Christianity is a "white" religion, like somehow most black people in America aren't protestant and most Hispanic people in America aren't Catholic.

Listen, if they didn't want to be thrown in prison and beaten, they shouldn't have been Treasonist Nazi's. It's that simple. This really is their own fault.

They spent all that time "Owning the libs" they didn't realize rise that if they just didn't fight our agenda in police and prison reform they wouldn't be in this situation to begin with.

Sandlin later added that the guard mentioned something about "being glad to cancel all Christian culture", "Jesus is lame", and "This is for Hillary Rodham Clinton" right before another knee to the gut.

Were they expecting some of the usual white privilege? You're in jail folks. Specifically, non-wealthy jail. Get used to it.

Getting assaulted by prison guards is perfectly plausible, but of course even when it happens to them, conservatives just refuse to believe it's institutional violence. Oh no, it must be because the evil atheist/muslim/jew triumvirate gave those guards orders to target them!

Don't forget when he said, "No one can stop us from breeding whites out of existence and destroying western society", as violent assailant are wont to do.

After all was said and done, the guard whispered into my ear "Hail Antifa". It was then I knew that liberty had been cancelled.

The guard was later heard talking on the phone arranging payment from a Mr Soros before concluding the call with "Heil Barack HUSSEIN Obama".

It's like he never talked to or interact with a black person before, and can only imagine their speech with racist caricatures.

"This is for refusing to acknowledge the inevitability of the Marxist dialectic, you bourgeois gadfly!" The guard's truncheon crunched down on my leg with a sickening thud.

My RIGHT leg.
