Judge getting sick of Jan. 6 rioters’ complaints about jail
conditions: ‘Some people want hotel services’


Federal prosecutors are pushing back on claims from U.S. Capitol rioters
about conditions in the jail where they're awaiting trial, and a judge
signaled that he's getting sick of their complaints.

Judge Emmet Sullivan told attorneys he was aware of problems some
defendants had accessing evidence they needed to prepare for trial, but
he waved away complaints some of them had made about alleged mistreatment,

"They're running a jail, not a hotel," Sullivan said. "Some people want
hotel services."

Accused rioter Christopher Worrell has complained that jail officials
were too slow in getting him medical treatment for a broken finger, but
DOJ lawyers pointed out that he wanted "elective" surgery because he
didn't like the way his fracture had healed and had turned down
treatment at the jail for his cancer.

"He was informed that surgery has risks that may outweigh the benefits
of a surgery," Worrell's doctor told wrote. "Although, we discussed the
risks of infection, poor function, pain, etc ... the patient's beyond
reason at this time. We will proceed with extreme caution, since it is
apparent that ulterior motives are at play."
