Paul Manafort had asked to be let out of jail because the North Neck jail where he was being held was 100 miles from the courthouse.
The judge saw his point — and transferred him to a prison nearer to his courthouse.
U.S. Marshals brought him to Northern Neck in Warsaw, about 100 miles from Washington, where he was put in a self-contained so-called VIP unit that once housed former NFL star Michael Vick. His lawyers said it amounted to solitary confinement and inhibited his ability to meet with them.
Amy Bertsch, a spokeswoman for the Alexandria Sheriff"s Office, said she did not know what kind of accommodations Manafort would have at the facility. It usually holds just under 400 prisoners, who wear olive-green jumpsuits emblazoned with the word "inmate."
In other words, Northern Neck was a nice safe place, and the Alexandria Detention Center … isn’t, so much.
Are you tired of winning yet, Paul?
