Harvey Weinstein Busted with Contraband in Jail, Begs Forgiveness: ‘I Am Sincerely Sorry’
Slay News ^ | March 4, 2022 | David Hawkins

Disgraced Hollywood movie producer Harvey Weinstein has been caught with contraband in jail, accoridng to reports.

Weinstein is currently being held in L.A. County jail as he awaits trial for rape.

He was caught with contraband Milk Duds in November, prompting a reprimand from L.A. County jail guards, according to prisoner records.

The Milk Duds were found during a search on November 10, after Weinstein had a face-to-face meeting with Shawn Burkley, one of his attorneys.

Weinstein claimed to the guards that he had brought the Milk Duds with him when he was extradited from New York last July.

The former movie mogul is currently serving a 23-year sentence after being convicted in New York, and after California convicts him, he will never see the outside of jail again.

While the contraband is only a minor infraction, they add up in jail and can impact your living conditions, housing facility, parole status, and many other things.

Weinstein’s rep Juda Engelmayer gave TMZ, the media outlet that broke the story, a statement from Harvey who sounded nervous.

“This was an innocent misunderstanding,” Weinstein claims.

...

“It will not happen again.

“I have been a model inmate, following the rules and regulations and I am sincerely sorry.”

According to TMZ, “HW’s attorney Mark Werksman tells TMZ the judge took no action against Weinstein — nor did the jail. Mark, Shawn, and his other lawyers are still visiting him … with the same cursory checks in effect.

“Weinstein is currently being held at the Correctional Treatment Center — a medical unit within the Twin Towers jail in downtown Los Angeles … as he currently awaits trial.”

Weinstein’s attorneys, Mark Werksman and Alan Jackson, also issued an apology:

“We have been informed about this and are very sorry it happened.

“It had not happened before, and never happened since.

“Harvey has been a model inmate and intends to continue as such.”

Not a shiv.
Not drugs.
Didn’t try to rape someone in prison.
Didn’t try to kill someone in prison.
Didn’t try to order a killing from prison.

Had Milk Duds…

Get me out of this timeline.

Put Harv in a bullet proof room seat him blindfolded a cement table in that room.

Tell him to remain blindfolded.

Leave the room

Instruct him to remove the blind fold.

On the table is a loaded short barreled, break open 12 gauge.

Start a pool on elapsed time until ignition.

Sell Tarentino the movie rights.

They strip search inmates upon entry, guess I don’t want to know where he hid the “Milk Duds”.

Do you remember that story a few years back that a guy smuggled a loaded firearm into a jail in one of his folds of blubber? I think he actually had a couple of things they didn’t find.

I guess there is some justice in this world.

But a reprimand is pretty mild.
