Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took up an unlikely cause today: the fate of convicted fraudster Paul Manafort
However, Manafort’s possible isolation at Rikers may be partly because of his and his lawyers’ concerns about his safety.
But legal experts say that Manafort got special arrangements away from the general prison population because of his high-profile status. At his first jail in Warsaw, Va., Manaforthe was being treated like a “VIP” and federal prosecutors explained in court briefs that the GOP operative had a private cell with a bathroom and shower, a personal telephone and access to work space to meet with his lawyers.
