Just talked to Dan Caldwell, a J6 detainees in the DC Gulag. He is suffering severe after-effects from the pepper spray attack by prison guards last week, which sent a few detainees, including Caldwell, out of the jail on stretchers.

Following a dispute with one detainee...
over face masks, a prison guard doused the "pod," the area that house J6 detainees, with copious amounts of pepper spray. The pod was in lockdown, so all men locked in their cells.
Spray filled locked and closed pods, infiltrated the air system. Caldwell could not breathe...

Banged on wall to cell next to him, begging for his life. Thought he was going to die; he lost consciousness and believes he fell and hit his head.
When he came to, he had been dragged out of his cell. He begged not to die. "Tell my family I love them." (He was sobbing on phone)

When he returned back to cell last Thursday, he suffered severe head and neck pain all weekend. Asked for medical attention, was denied. He awakened last night around midnight, severely dizzy, and fell, hitting his head again. Denied care until this morning. Nurses attempted...
to get him on a stretcher but bc of his neck pain he asked them not to. DC Fire Dept. arrived, hooked him up to EKG. While suffering in pain, a female jail guard recorded him on her personal cell phone.
Given a scan, came back normal but diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome.

Before the bots and inhumane morons get on this thread, I again emphasize that Dan Caldwell has not been convicted of any crime.
The wretched Judge Kollar-Kotelly, while continuously denying his speedy trial rights, refuses to release him.
No trial set -- next hearing Feb 2022.

Caldwell has been in DC jail since March, arrested in February.
One correction: Caldwell was attended to last night but calls to EMTs were delayed. He is back in the jail.
