"Reassuring as this may sound,“PC” is a double-edged sword: these inmates r well protected from everyday jailhouse violence, but to ensure this safety they r segregated from general population & confined to a cell where their existence becomes tantamount to solitary confinement."
"Manafort will likely face 23 hours a day in a cell the size of a parking space, furnished with a cot, a footlocker, a tiny metal sink and toilet. There will be no desks or phones, like he boasted about as part of his “VIP” treatment in a previous lock-up."
"Food will be passed on a tray through a flap in the cell door. A small mesh-covered window will transform any outside sunshine into grayness."
Manafort chose not to cooperate, a life of corruption, to betray the U.S. and it is bad luck that he had to go to Rikers-Island before it is replaced and closed forever.
