Manafort in “Almost Prison”
To add insult to injury, Paul Manafort has been sent to a federal prison described as a boy’s dormitory. Cumberland is in Maryland. It ain’t hell.
One top D.C. defense attorney said his clients describe Cumberland as a “boys dormitory” with food that’s “nothing to write home about.” It’s got a commissary (where canned tuna — which, oddly, is used as a kind of currency in the camp — is sold) and a bare-bones fitness facility. The biggest perk, though, is that prisoners tend to be on their best behavior for fear of being sent somewhere rougher. “Nothing bad happens to you there,” said the attorney.
If you want to send him some money so he can buy cappuccino, be sure to give a little extra so he can get a candy bar.
But will he get the Jack Abramoff Memorial bunk?
