Jail - where dozens of Capitol rioters are housed before their trials - is like 'Guantanamo Bay', a lawyer representing one of the protestors told DailyMail.com. The suspects are held in solitary confinement in cells the 'size of a walk-in closets' for up 24 hours a day and treated like 'domestic terrorists' by jail guards after several law enforcement officers were injured and killed during the January 6 violence at the Capitol, lawyer Joseph McBride said. McBride, who represents Richard 'Bigo' Barnett, 60, of Arkansas - the man known for putting his feet up on Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desk - claimed that the guards are 'roughing up' the siege suspects to show solidarity with law enforcement who protected the Capitol. 'The DC Central Detention Facility has become Guantanamo Bay for American Citizens,' McBride told DailyMail.com. 'In the eyes of the Federal Government, the 2021 Trump supporter is the 2001 religious Muslim. This is demonstrated by the fact that Trump Supporters, type casted as extremists, are being illegally detained pretrial by the United States Government.' Nearly all of the Capitol protest suspects have spent time in the Washington D.C. Jail, where they await their trials.
