Alan Dershowitz: Why is Paul Manafort off to Rikers? Prepare to be shocked (and outraged)

The decision to move Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman who was sentenced earlier this year to nearly seven years in prison in connection with two federal cases, from the decent federal prison to which he was sentenced to solitary confinement to the dangerous hell hole that is New York City’s Rikers Island seems abusive and possibly illegal.

I know Rikers well having spent time there visiting numerous defendants accused of murder and other violent crimes. It is a terrible place that no one should ever be sent to.

It should be shut down. It is so bad that defendants often plead guilty, even if they have defensible cases, simply to move to a safer and better prison.

It would seem the appropriate thing now would be to find out who gave the order.  A deep stater will be exposed, I'm sure.

Obviously... somebody high up wants Manafort dead (to shut him up permanently).  Find out why and you'll find out who.   As usual, I suspect it all leads back to Hillary.

Isn't there something in the Constitution about cruel and unusual punishment? Seems this might fit.
