Now that's a strange typo.

I read that as another "Germany bombed Pearl Harbor" type statement - actually chuckled.

I am not a tiny guy but if I was sent to jail I dunno about you but I would REQUEST solitary. It's protective custody.

That has always been my tacit belief also - not familiar enough with the dark side to be comfortable with inmates. Of course that assumes I was innocent - if I were guilty, then I'd probably have more real knowledge about it.

I think there are two kinds of solitary.

No.
There is but one kind of solitary.

There are a litany of reasons to punish a person by that type of confinement though. None of those reasons were either necessary or warranted in this case. Manifort has been found guilty of nothing. He could easily be housed at a low-security facility, or at home.

Manafort's treatment is inexcusable. It is a kangaroo court redress, and should be of concern to any American. It is outrageous, the stuff of the old USSR, and in the end that will prove to be the single strongest connection between the case of Paul Manafort and any "Russian collusion".

We tried that “home” thing. Manafort didn’t change his behavior pattern. Same ole BS of thinking everyone should play by his rules.

Where oh where is the ACLU????

The people Manafort was trying to coerce into like testimony?

---

How did the cross-examination of those supposedly coerced witnesses go exactly? What were the jury findings?

The purpose of remanding to custody PRIOR TO a trial by peers should be on basis of flight risk. If Manafort is on record consorting with witnesses, then by all means, cut off all his unmonitored nonprivileged communication.

But when a system throws Manafort in Solitary without a trial while allowing Bill Cosby to roam free for months FOLLOWING a jury conviction, something stinks-to-high-heaven.

"Across the country, states are waking up to the fact that we must address our overreliance on solitary confinement. Long-term isolation costs too much, does nothing to rehabilitate prisoners, and exacerbates mental illness - or even causes it in prisoners who were healthy when they entered solitary. Officials in some states that formerly relied heavily on solitary confinement are now realizing that they should use public resources on proven policies that promote safe communities and fair treatment, and are successfully reducing the use of solitary - at the same time saving their states millions and reducing violence in the prisons. It's time for more states, and the federal Bureau of Prisons, to follow suit." They seem to be OK wiith it for Manafort

"This massive increase in the use of solitary has happened despite criticism from legal and medical professionals, who have deemed the practice unconstitutional and inhumane." But it's ok for Manafort as per the ACLU it seems

So you claim to have esoteric knowledge of the Manafort case or are you simply a blowhard?
