In total, January 6 rioters have been sentenced to 1,300 years in prison - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : In the hours after the riot - despite a brief, ludicrous effort to pin the violence on left-wing agitators - there was broad condemnation of both the participants and of Trump, the man who encouraged them to be there.
44% : In some cases, it's probably true - as Trump and others have insisted - that they viewed a plea agreement as preferable to a protracted, expensive court battle.
43% : We'd seen this before, though, with Republicans declaring that the release of the "Access Hollywood" tape in October 2016 prevented them from standing alongside Trump, then the party's presidential nominee.
40% : It's particularly easy for those seeking a reason to exonerate Trump or to minimize his actions.
39% : Those arrested for their actions on Capitol Hill joined Trump as victims of a heavy-handed justice system, detained or punished not because of their actions but because of their politics.
37% : Now that Trump is poised to return to power - thanks in part to his allies' successful efforts to recast the Capitol riot in favorable terms - it's likely that many of those sentences will never be served.
31% : Trump has promised to give clemency to many or most of those sentenced once he is inaugurated later this month, and there's every reason to think that he will.
