Earlier this month, it seemed President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, would be sent to solitary confinement at notorious Rikers Island long before what is considered normal for most prisoners in his circumstance.
Manafort was, until recently, being held in a minimum security facility in Pennsylvania, where he was sent after being sentenced to seven years in prison for fraud, including hiding income from the IRS and obtaining millions of dollars in fraudulent bank loans, and for failing to file under the rarely enforced Foreign Agents Registration Act while working as a lobbyist. None of his crimes occurred in relation to his duties for the Trump campaign.
