They have been in solitary confinement for a period LONGER than they would have been imprisoned, if they HAD been convicted.
The information about the sentencing limit is here.
Almost all of the currently incarcerated fall under this category. A MISDEMEANOR, not a felony.
BTW, when I saw the photos of one of the DC officers testifying before the 1/6 Committee, I noticed several tattoos. One was of a spider's web (funnily enough, a design often associated with those worn by prisoners. The others, on the front of his chest, were not visible at that time, although they were partially on view during a television interview when he wore an open-neck shirt.
Other pictures:
I have no idea what that chest tat is. If you recognize it, please comment.
Apparently, tatting is so common among the Capitol police, that they had instituted a policy giving more guidance to their ban on tats that would show up on arms and legs while in uniform. I assume that neck tats would have been banned before the time - shortly after 9/11 - that Fanone joined up with the Capitol police.
They were visible even during his testimony in his uniform, although it appears that either pictures were edited to make the tats less obvious, or he just HAPPENED to have grown his beard so as to cover the tats.
And, again just by HAPPENSTANCE, when photos were taken during his testimony, he was often hunched over in a way that minimized their appearance.
Finally, one of the tats seems to be blurred in the photo. I've not yet found a clear photo of the one on the left side of his neck.
The tat on his left neck looks like a traditional Chinese rendering of a dragon. The open jaw is close to the neckline of his shirt.
