Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) visited accused January 6 rioters at the D.C. Department of Corrections, claiming “they have felt forgotten and hopeless.”

In a Friday Twitter thread, Greene detailed her visit to the jail.

“Last night we toured the DC jail. My staff and I are writing a full report this morning on our 3+ hour long tour. I’ve never seen human suffering like I witnessed last night. While some were shown to us in seemingly beneficial programs, others were in tortuous lockdown,” Greene explained.

She continued, “Some inmates were receiving continuing education classes, others were truly suffering from long stays in solitary confinement for ‘bad behavior.’ I’ll never forget hearing their screams. This was in a different part of the jail, not the J6 part. Being alone surely is hell.”

2. Some inmates were receiving continuing education classes, others were truly suffering from long stays in solitary confinement for “bad behavior.”

I’ll never forget hearing their screams.

This was in a different part of the jail, not the J6 part.

Being alone surely is hell.

Greene said she was told seeing the defendants was not part of her tour, adding, “I demanded to see them and would have gone scorched earth if I was not allowed and was making it known.”

After being granted permission to visit the accused rioters, Greene was taken to another section of the jail and entered the “Patriot wing.”

She continued, “I was greeted by men with overwhelming cheers who rushed out to meet me with tears streaming down their faces. They have felt forgotten and hopeless.”

4. Phone calls were made & permission was given.

We then were taken to another section of the jail and entered the Patriot wing.

I was greeted by men with overwhelming cheers who rushed out to meet me with tears streaming down their faces.

They have felt forgotten & hopeless.

Greene suggested it was “like walking into a prisoner of war camp and seeing men who eyes can’t believe someone had made it in to see them.”

She went on, “They are suffering greatly. Virtually no medical care, very poor food quality, and being put through re-education which most of them are rejecting.”

The Republican also announced she is “beginning a plan for real prison reform.”

7. I am committed to ending this political war and seeing that our justice system is never used against Americans as a political weapon ever again.

I am also beginning a plan for real prison reform.

Our nation is broken and our people are divided.

It’s time to fix it.

— Marjorie Taylor Greene ?? (@mtgreenee) November 5, 2021

The visit came a day after both Greene and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) were denied access to the jail, as IJR reported.

Insider reported last week 691 individuals have been arrested and charged with crimes related to the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Only 105 federally charged rioters have pleaded guilty thus far.
