January 6 prisoners evacuated on stretchers after guards gas them
By Andrea Widburg
On Friday, the attorney for Kelly Meggs, one of the prisoners being held without bail for events on January 6, filed a notice informing the United States District Court for the District of Columbia of a report that guards had negligently or intentionally disbursed a toxic substance in such a way that prisoners were inundated with it, resulting in several being evacuated on stretchers. Meggs’s lawyer also mentioned the dire conditions in the jail and requested, that the court release on bail those arrested in connection with events on January 6.
Here, in its entirety, is what Meggs told his family about the gas incident in the jail, all because one of the detainees didn’t want to wear a mask (which they’re forced to wear 24/7, even when in solitary):
When a January 6 detainee in the CTF / D.C. jail refused to wear a mask, the guards responded with some kind of mace or pepper spray.
This created a disturbance and the wing was locked down at 10 AM.
“They sprayed mace or some type of gas at an inmate and kept missing so it went into an intake that fed into other cells and the lady with the key left because she didn't like the gas, so the inmates in the cells who were being fed the gas from that intake were locked in for like 15 minutes while it was going into their rooms and they couldn't see/breathe.”
“Had to take some guys out in stretchers to the med bays”
That is. it seems to have been the ventilation system acting on its own that created most of the problems, although one wonders if the initial action was the correct action.
There may have been much more of a confrontation and disturbance, but counsel has no confirmation of that.
Other reports are that three detainees were taken out on stretchers, although it is not clear if this was merely preventative.
It is not clear if this led to more than one detainee being in a conflict with guards.
Kelly Meggs was not in one of the cells that the gas was being cycled into by the ventilation system.
