Where will Manafort be held, I wonder?

Does anyone know?

4. No, not yet at least.

Pre-trial detention will be at a federal detention center. Most likely here: http://www.prisonpro.com/content/central-detention-facilitydc-jailcorrectional-treatment-facility

The Central Detention Facility (CDF/DC Jail) is located in Southeast DC at 1901 D Street, SE. The current facility was opened in 1976. In July 2002, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia vacated the population capacity limit at the DC Jail imposed in the 1985 Campbell v. McGruder court ruling. In October 2007, the Executive Administration established a population capacity at the jail of 2,164. This number is within the ranges recommended by two consultants hired independently by the Council and the Department of Corrections leadership during 2004 and supports the agency’s compliance with the Jail Improvement Act of 2003. The majority of male inmates (females are housed at the Correctional Treatment Facility) housed in the Central Detention Facility are awaiting adjudication of cases or are sentenced for misdemeanor offenses. As a result of the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997, sentenced felons are transferred to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Just in case you want to go visit him for Father's Day.

6. Thanks. Since he's awaiting trial, they wouldn't send him to a federal prison.

That sounds right to me.

11. Just heard msnbc report

that Manafort was taken into custody by federal marshalls and is being held in DC Jail, and that is a rough place. [Very, maximum culture shock guaranted!!!].

12. Thanks. Not the lifestyle to which he is accustomed, certainly.

10. I don't think it matters

(unless you're planning to visit him ) because this is a guy who's accustomed to the very best of everything. Any move downward, even a move downward to an upper-middle-class existence, will be painful for him. Even if he's in the nicest correctional facility in the country, even if he plays golf and tennis while he's incarcerated, it will be torture for him. I guarantee his sheets will have fewer than 1000 threads/inch and his clothes will not be custom-fit. He will not be able to order from the a la carte menu, and he may not even have a premium cable package.

I jubilate in thoughts of his unhappiness.
