The officers in the DC Jail who need to be investigated for corruption and abuse- 🧵🪡 Officer 1 - Lieutenant Allen (Male) One of the ring leaders of corruption and torture of American citizens and J6ers at the DC Jail. Have witnessed him both physically and verbally abuse both J6 and local DC inmates alike - including myself. My worst experience with Lieutenant Allen was when the DC Jail threw me in the SHU (the hole) for not signing a piece of paper. Literally. While there for 3+ weeks, the DC Jail officers who were under the supervision of Lt Allen and Lt Lancaster (who we will cover shortly) turned my water off for 24 hours because they were upset with what the inmate in the cell NEXT to me was doing. After 24 hours with no water, solitary confinement for days on end, and no end in sight, I became suicidal. I informed Lieutenant Allen of who I was when he came around. I informed him that I was an Honorably Discharged Marine Corps Veteran with diagnosed PTSD, feeling suicidal, and needed some help and to speak with someone. Lieutenant Allen laughed, walked off, looked back at me with a grin and said, “Hope you don’t die”, and walked out. It took me another 12-18 hours and telling 3 more officers that I was suicidal before 1 finally believed me and took me to medical, which is a completely different story for a different time. Just know that Lieutenant Allen has a checkered work past history, is abusive, and I believe had conspired with other officers there to mistreat all inmates, but ESPECIALLY J6ers. He needs to be removed immediately. He’s a danger to everyone there. Here’s his LinkedIn profile: linkedin.com/in/telly-allen…

🚯CORRUPT DC JAIL OFFICER #2 This really should have been number 1, but number 2 will do.. Lieutenant Crystal Lancaster was in charge of overseeing the officers on our unit, and in the SHU (the hole). Her favorite source of abuse and torture was forcing men to wear Covid masks 24/7, and pepper spraying those who didn’t. The incident where Ronald McAbee was sprayed by Lt Lancaster was also the incident in which I was sprayed by her as well. I was a witness to this entire event, and watched her aggressively enter our pod looking to assault one of us. She ended up spraying McAbee, myself and 2 other guys simply because she wanted McAbee to wear his mask while simultaneously taking his medication, which isn’t possible. She pushed him, and he tried walking away and creating distance. She then followed him and sprayed him multiple times, spraying myself and others along the ways. After backup arrived, she ran McAbee face first into a brick wall, while spraying him again for the hell of it. It’s all on body cam video, and has been investigated by Congress. She has since been fired for this and other similar incidents, but nothing past that. How come I and others go to prison for pepper spraying, but she can do to the same to us with no consequences? This happened sooo many times.. This is merely one story of many. Where is the fairness and justice in that? Need more info on Lt Crystal Lancaster? Check out our motions and Habeas Corpus and other motions that are public information, and stand by for upcoming lawsuit brought by @McBrideLawNYC, @FormerFeds, and @Jon_Gross.
Julie Kelly 🇺🇸@julie_kelly2 · May 20, 2024NEW: @Jim_Jordan and @RepTroyNehls open investigation into 2022 assault of J6er Ronald McAbee at DC Gulag by jail guard Crystal Lancaster.

Ryan Nichols Sr.@RealRyanNichols · Apr 13, 2025🚨 EXPOSED: Crooked Cpl A Hayes and the DC Jail Circus—We Fought Back and Won! Cpl A Hayes ran the DC Jail security team like a tyrant. Dressed in green, plate carriers, helmets—like special forces, but they treated us like animals. Day 1 as pretrial detainees, Hayes called us “pieces of shit,” “terrorists,” said we deserved to suffer for January 6. 🖕 The LAW says we can’t be punished pretrial—he didn’t care. Following Warden Kathleen Landerkin’s orders (blasted by Reps Gohmert and Greene), Hayes made it his mission to break us. I played his “game” to survive—passing trays during our 23-36 hour lockdowns. He thought I liked him. I HATED him. Getting close exposed his corruption. I saw him: • Threaten to beat inmates. • Slam handcuffed inmates against walls. • Cover his body cam to hide his crimes. • Fake disciplinary write-ups to set us up. • Oversee his team chain us—ankles, waists, wrists—like circus slaves, filming us with work iPhones for Instagram. Hayes laughed as I stood there, ashamed, while they posted us for views. 🎥 It gets worse. His team had jail cameras on their personal phones—ILLEGAL for our J6 pod under Involuntary Protective Services. Hayes would watch us on his off days, and if someone was out for their 1-hour shower or family call, he’d call the pod landline and order a lockdown for simply “existing.” God knows who Hayes showed us to, or if he was working for the feds and was their extension. @KashLeeKelly1 was his last target. Kash fought back, used the grievance process, and got Hayes REMOVED from our unit for YEARS. ✍️ Then @ScottFairlambJ6 stepped up. He studied the law, wrote a grievance about the shackles chaining our ankles, waists, and wrists—and WON. Because of Scott, we stopped being paraded like slaves. 💪 Kash and Scott taught me how to defend myself with the law. “The pen is mightier than the sword,” Kash said. That’s how I learned to win in court—because of them. Who else has been abused by a system that protects the corrupt? I’m done being silent. Share this—let’s demand justice! 💥 #J6Truth #ExposeTheCorrupt #PatriotFight #ViralJustice #DCJailExposed #SystemicAbuse #NeverBackDown
