Looks like Paulie Numbnuts is about to relocate after a New York Grand Jury indicted him on 16 counts of various financial crimes in March.
Rikers Island, voted one of America’s 10 worst prisons by Mother Jones Magazine looks to be the locale where Manafort will be summering.
“The brutal prison on New York’s Rikers Island has been home to some of the most notorious criminals in the city’s history, from serial killer David Berkowitz to John Lennon’s murderer, Mark David Chapman—and now it’s set to add Paul Manafort to its rogues gallery. The former Trump campaign chairman—who was sentenced this year to four years in prison—will be transferred there this week from a minimum-security facility in Pennsylvania, Fox News reports. A source close to Manafort reportedly told the network Manafort will be kept in solitary confinement, complaining: “He’s not a mob boss.” Manafort’s defense team will appeal the decision, which came from a New York State judge.”
No one here at Daily Kos wants even a dirt-bag like Manafort to be subject to the violence and brutality endemic at Rikers.
So we should be cheered to note that Paulie will likely be held in solitary confinement.
In a way though, that is sad, as no one will be able to admire the recent additions to his wardrobe made after Paulie was sent to the Big House….

This will say little about me as a human being. But I say Rikers is exactly where he belongs.
I was going to say that it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy … and then I remembered, there’s Roger Stone.
On that Mother Jones list of the ten worst prisons, I would wager a small amount that the other nine are all for-profit prisons.
I don’t bet against sure things, Under, your wager being one of them. And let us wait and see on that defective clone of Penguin named Roger Stone.
Rikers is too good for him……and if they are complaining about him being in solitary, put him in general population. Screw him.
This won’t, I’m sure, be a popular comment. In many other countries, being sent to prison IS the punishment. How is it that the USA has become so retributive? Those other countries have lower crime rates. Maybe they’re onto something?
That’s exactly where he belongs ….Damn trader
Not to seem disingenuous but it seems public stoning may be a better punishment in this instance. Or, maybe he could be placed in solitary just next to Roger Stone and let them play tic tac toe to decide after 3000 games who wins. The winner is then released into the general population.
