Our were families are standing outside in below freezing 10° weather until 1am when they released 2 hostages, there are still 20 of us in here!!!
Please help us rebuild our broken lives donation site is https://t.co/Xgwq8BEQiq & get us out of the Swamp Gulag - I've been here 4 years and 5 days WITHOUT A TRIAL!!!
My friend and J6 prisoner, Lucas Denney, is at FCC Florence
Prison in Fremont County, Colorado.
Earlier this evening, a family member who was waiting outside the prison informed me that the prison staff were “hanging up on them” when they attempted to make calls on behalf of Lucas.
I was able to contact @bradleyforco, House Representative for District 39, Colorado. She contacted the prison and was told by a staff member that “Denney was not to be released until September 25th, 2025”.
Representative Bradley told him that “the President had pardoned him and Lucas Denney is to be released immediately”. She then contacted Lauren Boebert’s team, who stated they were going to contact the Governor. Rep. Stephanie Luck was also contacted.
Less than an hour later, we were contacted and told that Lucas Denney was being processed for release!
THIS IS HOW THINGS GET DONE! I’m so happy for Lucas and his family.

🇺🇸For the past several years @FreeJ6Prisoners@thegeneral249 have been seeking help for our #J6ers.
None of the large X accounts wanted to touch it. Since @realDonaldTrump has been elected it seems now all large accounts are jumping on the bandwagon wagon.
Where were you for the past 3 years?
Where were you when we were trying to raise money for the families that lost everything?
Where were you when we were holding our spaces?
Where were you when we were making phone calls to the prisons
The only X account that has consistently supported #J6ers is @DiamondandSilk & @laralogan
I guess better late than never!
As a January 6 defendant and first-hand witness to the brutality and abuses of Biden’s weaponized DOJ, I am calling upon Congress to act to release all remaining J6 hostages imprisoned for exercising their first amendment rights.
They must be freed immediately.
