The notorious D.C. jail, often dubbed the “Gulag,” has finally started releasing some of the January 6 hostages, thanks to President Trump’s pardons that had been held up by vindictive Democrats. It appears that, for some, this will be the first taste of freedom in years as they can wrap their arms around family members and savor the heady aroma of non-prison air. The phrase “better late than never” has truly never been more applicable.
One notable release is Jonathan Pollock, who has been behind bars for far too long and still has a sister who remains stuck in the contentious clutches of this so-called prison. He expressed feelings of liberation, albeit amid the backdrop of the intimidation tactics employed by the January 6 Committee and the Biden-Harris group of misfits. Another released inmate, Jake Lang, who spent an excruciating four years without so much as a trial, celebrated his newfound freedom, proclaiming that this is genuine American resilience. Unfortunately, not everyone is enjoying the fresh air yet. Delays attributed to paperwork and unresolved state charges have caused some detainees to remain shackled by bureaucracy.
In a bold move, Rep. Eli Crane from Arizona, along with other members of the Freedom Caucus, made a visit to the Gulag to investigate the flagrant refusal of D.C. authorities to comply with Trump’s directives concerning early releases. According to Crane, this prison was the last bastion of Democrats dragging their feet on the release of January 6 patriots. Many of those freed include individuals who received staggering sentences without having taken part in any physical violence at the Capitol. Strangely, the same scrutiny hasn’t been directed toward violent Antifa activists or those who engaged in destructive actions across the country.
As if the prison drama couldn’t get any more theatrical, Jake Lang reported an incident with prison guards during his release process. He described being assaulted and restrained by Lieutenant Allen as he awaited freedom. After enduring this appalling treatment, Lang eventually left the Gulag and embraced his fiancée—an emotional moment that would warm even the coldest of hearts. Lang credited these reunions as emblematic of what makes America extraordinary, a sentiment that seems lost on those who view these individuals as villains rather than victims.

Adding to the circus is the case of Jeremy Brown, a former Green Beret who faced the disheartening news of being thrown back into his cell at the very moment his mother awaited him outside. All this backlash and impediments certainly serve as a painful reminder of the grueling wait these J6 detainees have experienced. For them, freedom has often felt like a cruel game of hide-and-seek.
As the legal battles against the unjust treatment of January 6 prisoners continue, the hope is that justice will prevail for those still behind bars. The Biden administration’s blatant weaponization of the justice system is a dark stain on the American landscape, and more and more citizens are taking notice. Meanwhile, prayers are certainly in order for those who have just tasted freedom and for those still trapped in a legal quagmire. Justice may be blind, but it doesn’t have to be incompetent.
