Nehls on Friday recalled his Thursday visit to a prison housing Jan. 6 prisoners on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show, saying "I had an opportunity to visit. A couple of my staffers went with me and when we pulled up to the jail, there was a whole entourage. We had everybody there from Mayor Bowser's office, I mean, we had the head cheese there."
"[W]e spent about an hour and 15 minutes," he continued. "They knew I was coming because the place smelled very, very clean. Almost to the point that was irritating my eyes with the bleach. But here nor there. We were there."
"[W]e had a an opportunity to go visit the J Sixers, the detainees in their tank, and there are about 21 of them there," he said. "Many of them were there for pretrial confinement had about 15 minutes and and listen to them. They're concerned. They said that their grievances are not being heard."
