Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman who was sentenced earlier this year to nearly seven years in prison in connection with two federal cases, will be transferred later this week from a minimum security facility in Pennsylvania to New York City’s Rikers Island, a source close to Manafort told Fox News.

Rikers Island is the famous jail in the shadow of LaGuardia Airport. It has been the temporary home of some of the most high-profile violent criminals in the city, including David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam; and Mark David Chapman, the man who killed John Lennon.

wow
They're really trying to accomplish something by doing this...working very hard to get the President (or Manafort) to do something.

Rikers Island is a hell hole.

Manafort should be pardoned by the President.

There are many who committed the same crimes or worse, lobbyist presently walking the streets of Washington and others. Joe Biden and Kerry are two that come to mind.

Thank you RINO party for sitting back while people like Paul and Stone all get locked up and destroyed while the biggest crook of all Hillary waltzes around free as a bird bashing the F out of Trump and flaming the party.

He’ll be in solitary the whole time he’s there. For “his own protection”.

This story seems odd on its face. Rikers Island is a New York City Corrections facility, not a state or Federal prison. It's a detention center for temporary holding, not a place to serve a lengthy prison term.

Is he being arraigned for a crime in New York City?

Hey Democrats, I’m really looking forward to payback. I hope none of you get a new vacay at Club Fed.

If not a pardon, at least commute Manafort’s sentence to time served!

Why? Out of spite. This is what Trump Wins! looks like, our enemies murder little babies so sending a man to a hell-hole is EASY for them. Remember, there but for the grace of God you go!

Wondering if the reports on FISA, etc were not legal then can Manafort legal team use it to get him out of jail.
