Prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment -- 8th amendment:  Prisoners of the Jan6 who entered the Capitol have been beaten, and tortured and subjected to some unbearable conditions.  Last October 2022 a group of 34 Jan6 prisoners signed a letter requesting to be moved to "Gitmo," pointing out that conditions were better there, than the multitude of abuses prisoners are enduring at the D.C. prison.  Among the abuses are:  withholding needed medical care,  non-functioning toilets, broken sinks, Mice, cockroaches & Black mold in cells, beatings,  waterboarding,  sexual assault, and sleep deprivation.  Also, extended solitary confinement, no visitors including refusing access to visiting Congressmen & denying some attorneys access.

In July 2021 three congress members were denied from visiting with JAN6 prisoners.  Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Majorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Louie Gohmert (Texas) were turned away from the D.C. prison when they tried to visit accused Jan. 6 prisoners & interview the facility supervisor.   Allegations of mistreatment were one reason for the attempted visit.
