Full title: his Is Not America: Paul Manafort is Being Tortured in Solitary Confinement by Dirty Cop Mueller and His Corrupt Gang
The corrupt and criminal Mueller team worked with Obama Appointed Judge Amy Berman Jackson to place President Trump’s former Campaign Manager Paul Manafort in solitary confinement. This was a conscious action to literally torture Manafort for working with Trump during the campaign.
Bernard Kerik at Newsmax wrote an excellent post on why Manafort was placed in solitary confinement. According to Kerik
In a very small regional jail in Warsaw, Virginia, sits Bob Mueller’s big fish, Paul Manafort.

Manafort's suffering is the right way to win a political contest. Mueller's investigation has no basis in law, it is political. The way to win is to play smart politics. Perhaps that means firing Meuller at the right moment, but that could also mean letting a man suffer for the cause. Manafort was certainly not clean, but does not deserve this. The violations of his rights will be a good lesson for independents who are given the facts.
Since when does a prosecutor have the authority to determine the cell assignment? Usually it’s the prison warden that makes such a determination based on the risk of, and against the prisoner.
Plus there were other charges being heard by a different judge.
Read elsewhere Manafort is in isolation cell, 23 of 24 hours.
Mueller and the rest best stand by for what’s coming their way.
Look up the definition of torture.

It was likely in the recent thread/article by Bernard Kerik....the former NYPD Commissioner and former NYC Correction Department Commissioner who oversaw the New York City jail system.
Okiedokie needs to look up the definition of prison solitary confinement. Kerik describes it, thoroughly, in his article.
Oh....here’s a link, to his article...

From the above linked article....
Solitary confinement in prison lingo is also referred to as a special housing unit (SHU), or punitive segregation unit (PSU), and their individual cells are called a box, hole, or cage.
It’s basically a deathtrap. A 12’ x 8’ solid steel or concrete box with a metal bed, stainless steel sink and toilet, and if you’re lucky, a small concrete or metal writing table and stool. On the solid steel metal door, there may be a 4 x 24-inch window that gives the inmate a slight view of the outside corridor, that can be blackened out by the correction staff at a moment’s notice.
Most of the solitary cells are the same: corroded, with massive amounts of rust at the seams where the metal walls meet the concrete floors and ceilings, from prior inhabitants flooding the cells to get the attention of the staff.
As wretched as this may sound, some may be surprised to learn that there is a definitive purpose for solitary confinement or punitive segregation, and that is to house and secure the worst of the worst prisoners: A national security risk, an escape risk; or a threat to an institution, inmates, or staff - like predators who slash and stab, or who light other inmates on fire while their sleeping, or who throw urine and feces in the face of other inmates or staff. That is the classification of inmate that belongs in solitary confinement or punitive segregation. That is not however, Paul Manafort.
Most national correctional minimum standards dictate that solitary confinement should be prevented at all cost for prisoners that are classified as suicidal, juvenile, witness protection or protective custody, pre-trial, or minor institutional infractions. However, that does not stop local, state, and federal correctional institutions from abusing the classification.
The reason for these recommended restrictions is that solitary confinement can be mentally devastating.
Where prison itself demeans, degrades, and demoralizes a defendant, solitary confinement goes far beyond the normal deprivation of freedom, where the strain of isolation can cause a prisoner to suffer from manic depression, hopelessness and despair, paranoia, anxiety and, quite often experience hallucinations. It can send suicidal prisoners over the edge, and incite juveniles to act out.
Pre-trial inmates can easily be manipulated into confessions and or guilty pleas, with promises or suggestions of being released from the box, and quite often they will do anything to be freed from the mentally and emotionally breaking cell, including lying, and pleading guilty to something they never did.
In Manafort’s case, I predicted early on that the government would do everything in their power to revoke his bail and remand him to custody, and then insure that he is placed in solitary confinement. My friend and longtime Fox News Correspondent Geraldo Rivera had a predication as well
Are we a third world nation yet?
I knew some of this, but not the full extent. It makes me very very angry.
What are we going to do to bridle the abuse of the legal system that has become embedded by the Obozo regime and remnants?
Yes
As I stated previously I dont think that manafort should have been jailed in the first place.
Secondly, torture has a specific definition. Look it up. Almost all definitions require an agent of the govt to physically harm a person causing pain and suffering.
An isolation cell is obviously unpleasant but it is neither cruel or unusual punishment or it would violate the Constitution. Every jail and prison has isolation cells where prisoners are kept out of the general population. Those cells are not torture, by any definition. I have included the california definition of torture belo as an examle. It is the generally accepted version.
“The definition of the crime of “torture” in California is:
Inflicting great bodily injury on another person,
With the intent to cause cruel or extreme pain and suffering,
For the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion or any sadistic purpose.
PC206”
As you can see, being in a cell by yourself does not fit the bill.
Whatever you would like to categorize manaforts situation as being, the law specifically defines certain conditions, and since the law defines torture it is quite obvious that that is not occurring by being placed in an isolation cell.
Sure, okiedoker. Whatever you say.
This is a VERY important point. Without RAT Alaska Senator Mark Begich OBAMACARE would not have passed through the Senate. Muller was therefore a key player in unleashing this plague of socialized medicine upon our country. Who knows how many countless souls this alone has killed?
So what was going on in the Ukraine there... was it some government operation, or a private thing, or what? Was it some Democrat sleaze of which Manafort was part at the time?
The selectivity is politically bothersome though. It’s like it’s “get as close as possible to Trump with the hounds” rather than “this is worse than Podesta.”
When you resort to extreme quibbles, you confess there’s a pretty good similarity.
This doesn’t seem like “torture” to me: https://nypost.com/2018/07/11/judge-orders-manafort-be-moved-from-jail-giving-him-vip-treatment/
