Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti was transferred from a federal lockup in California to the notorious Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan last week — and is now being held in Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s former cell, it was revealed Monday.
Avenatti’s attorney claimed in court papers filed Monday that he’s being held in solitary confinement in the “Special Housing Unit on the notorious 10-South of the MCC-New York.”
His lawyers pleaded with a judge to release him to general population in the prison, arguing he could not prepare for his trial in those conditions.
“He is in a cell reportedly once occupied by El Chapo, on a floor that houses individuals charged with terrorism offenses,” Avenatti’s attorney, Scott Srebnick, wrote.
“The temperature in his cell feels like it is in the mid-40s. He is forced to sleep with three blankets. Not surprisingly, he has been having great difficulty functioning.”

Great news!
I would have thought the authorities would have held him Epstein’s former cell.
Michael Avenatti did not hang himself!
How fitting. The nickname El Chapo is a Mexican slang term for “Shorty”.
In a few days, Mike will be entertaining the other prisoners with his stories about Stormy Daniels. No one there to fact check what he says.
Leftists just loved this guy, didn’t they?
Is he no longer a ‘Rat POTUS Candidate?
Birds of feather.
Funny!
CNN brings you “Michael Avenatti 180” live from the El Chapo cell in Manhattan.
2 doors down from Epstein’s cell?

Is he on suicide watch yet?
You never know with these things.
He might not even be feeling depressed.
I believe he may be more honest than the current occupants in the DEMS candidates clown car. Granted that ain’t saying much but I think it may be true.
Perhaps he will pull an Epstein while he’s there.
Does this mean he won’t be in Iowa on the caucus ticket?
Doesn’t CNN see a story here?
“I would have thought the authorities would have held him Epstein’s former cell.”
With the same guards and a “Wish you the best!” card from John Podesta
