Person of record
Cpl. Dandy
Corporal · DC DOC
Cpl. Dandy was a corporal at the D.C. Department of Corrections, where many of the January 6 defendants — including Ryan Nichols — were held in pretrial detention at the Correctional Treatment Facility. He is named in the catalog of guard misconduct laid out in the J6 detainees' habeas corpus petition. According to that petition (¶77), Cpl. Dandy "regularly used racial slurs" toward detainees and was suspended after telling fellow detainee Scott Fairlamb, "Suck my dick, White-boy." The same petition (¶78) alleges that Capt. Saunders was present and "covered for Dandy." Ryan's contemporaneous jail log corroborates the discipline: on February 17, 2022, he recorded that Officer Dandy was "suspended 7 days by Major Marr." These are allegations drawn from a habeas corpus petition and from Ryan's own daily record kept inside the facility. They are reproduced here, alongside the underlying scans, as part of the public record of how January 6 detainees were treated in custody.
