As Thousands Remain Trapped in It’s Disease Ridden Prisons Federal Authorities Revise Inmate Release Criteria to Include: White, Rich, Male, White Collar Criminals who Serve the Overclass
/Parole Illinois reported “The bureau has given contradictory and confusing guidance how it is deciding who is released to home confinement in an effort to combat the virus.
Other high-profile inmates such as Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen and lawyer Michael Avenatti, who rose to fame representing porn star Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against Trump, have been told they are getting out. That we are only identifying high profile white collar inmates for home confinement is absurd.”
Manafort, who was once Donald Trump’s presidential campaign chairman, is 71 years old and is serving a 7-year prison sentence. He had been serving his time in a low-security prison in Pennsylvania after he was convicted of tax fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy. The charges were brought as part of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Manafort had sent a letter to the Federal Bureau of Prisons asking to be released to release to home confinement for the remainder of the pandemic, or for the four remaining years of his sentence.
He argued that his health and age made him susceptible to contracting the deadly virus, which can spread quickly in places such as prisons, where social distancing is difficult to achieve.
The letter stated:
It is only a matter of time before the infection spreads to staff and inmates at FCI Loretto, at which time it may be too late to prevent high-risk inmates, such as Mr. Manafort, from contracting the potentially deadly virus.
The Bureau of Prisons has not confirmed or denied any cases coronavirus in Loretto Prison.
Paul Manafort was released from federal prison to home confinement early Wednesday morning due to concerns about coronavirus exposure. [MORE]
