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.”

Are the cameras working outside his cell?
“a perfect storm of screw-ups.” Case closed.
Point proven! LOL!
Ah, ‘ol Mike is finally getting the respect he deserves!
“Michael Avenatti being held in El Chapo’s former cell in Manhattan”
Avenatti should get down on his knees and pray to whatever god he prays to that he wasn’t put in Epstein’s cell ...
Something tells me he’s not so cocky now.
Wouldn’t it be fun if Avenatti cops a plea in exchange for spilling what he knows?
Like, for instance, who was paying him AND his client, Stormy Daniels?

Hope that the entire cast of the View takes time to go visit Mr. Avenatti. Its not like they have to go upstate to see him, he’s right in Manhattan!
