A Jan. 6 defendant wants to make it easier for families to visit with their loved ones who are being held in pretrial detention or as prisoners at the District of Columbia jail, some for more than two years, in connection with the 2021 U.S. Capitol breach.
Shane Jenkins, who faces trial next month on 10 criminal counts from his presence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, hopes to raise enough money so that every Jan. 6 detainee or inmate in the jail can receive a family visit.
