'Creepy Porn Lawyer' was stuck in 'rat-infested' Manhattan jail cell and went nearly a week without a shower, letter to court says

NEW YORK - Michael Avenatti was stuck in a "rat-infested" jail cell for a 10-day stretch during a recent lockdown at a federal detention center and was able to shower only twice in about two weeks, his attorney said in a letter to a judge Wednesday.

The details of Avenatti's recent experience at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan were discussed in a letter sent by his attorney Scott Srebnick to U.S. District Court Judge Paul Gardephe seeking a postponement to a probation background interview Avenatti is supposed to complete. The lockdown in recent weeks was due to a report of a firearm in the federal lockup that was being investigated. As a result, inmates were put under stricter conditions than usual at the troubled facility where notorious accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in August.

"The MCC lockdown led to even more cramped and unsanitary conditions at the jail," Srebnick wrote. Avenatti's mandatory presentencing probation interview was scheduled for Thursday and had a deadline for completion by March 17 following his conviction last month in a Nike company blackmail case. He's set to be sentenced in June. Avenatti was convicted on Feb. 14 of transmission of interstate communications with intent to extort, attempted extortion, and honest services wire fraud for demanding as much as $25 million from the sports apparel giant while threatening to expose an alleged corporate scandal. His bail was revoked and Avenatti was at MCC before the start of the trial because he was found to have committed a bail violation in his California case. Avenatti still stands charged in a separate case with defrauding clients in New York, including adult-film star Stormy Daniels when she faced off publicly against President Donald Trump over an alleged hush-money payment.

In other words, Avenatti was right at home among the rats. Surprised he hasn't claimed to hear from Epstein's ghost, at least not yet...

Man when you commit crimes you gotta first think “can i survive in possibly horrible conditions with an inmate population in which more than half are psychotic? And for how long can I survive that?

Then you either do the crime, do a crime that has a sentence you can live with or do no crime.

It’s pretty simple.

I can personally attest that there was a rat in his cell. A really creepy one.

p.s. Rats can't take showers. They have no opposable thumbs.

Or do they?

any time you try a decent crime, you got fifty ways you’re gonna screw up. If you think of twenty-five of them, then you’re a genius... and you ain’t no genius.

Maybe CPL can plead that he was taken "temporary unsanitary"...

Welcome to prison.
Prison is for criminals.
Criminals in prison do not live the high life.

Wasn’t that the same place that they kept Paul Mannafort during his trial as a torture technique to get him to plead to the second set of charges?

How does he rate conjugal visits?
