Legal experts stunned by DA'''s '''barbaric''' move to send Manafort to Rikers Island | Fox News
Solitary confinement at one of the the most notorious prisons in the nation for a guy convicted of white collar crimes with no history of violence.
Kind of hard to argue that this isn't purely political and utterly grotesque.
Scott Hechinger, a public defender in Brooklyn, also criticized the decision.
"Rikers Island & Solitary Confinement are both tortures *no one* should be subjected to," Hechinger tweeted Tuesday. "By supporting solitary for Manafort, we support an immoral, barbaric, cruel & unusual practice. Torture w/ long lasting, debilitating mental health consequences. And solitary for one means solitary is available for all."
