Federal convict and Trump crony Paul Manafort is to be held in solitary confinement at the notorious Riker's Island prison while he faces trial for fraud in a New York court (solitary confinement is standard procedure for high-profile prisoners); Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (whose district includes Riker's) publicly condemned the use of solitary confinement for any prisoner, including Manafort, adding that, "if people aren't willing to apply principles evenly, no matter the person, then they aren't fighting for criminal justice reform" and "a prison sentence is not a license for gov torture and human rights violations. That's what solitary confinement is." She concluded with "Manafort should be released, along with all people being held in solitary."
