    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Retweeted The New York Times

    Paul Manafort is being sent to solitary confinement in my district - Rikers Island. A prison sentence is not a license for gov torture and human rights violations. That‘s what solitary confinement is. Manafort should be released, along with all people being held in solitary.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1135903633567113216 …

        Yes - released from solitary. NYT used the term solitary confinement, & that’s what I am commenting on. “Protective custody” IS a separate practice, but does not necessarily exclude solitary. If he is in fact not being held in solitary, great. Release everyone else from it too.

        He deserves to be in jail but I agree that solitary confinement is wrong.

        It is, and it is in differant condition than punitive solitary confinement - I know it, because it's in the NYT's story.

        I believe it is not solitary as punishment, it is solitary for his protection. But I agree with the sentiment for the most part.

        I'm confused. Why would Manafort be assigned solitary confinement? Does it mean he's been insanely insubordinate? It has to be something pretty bad.

        Or it could be that cruelty is baked into the current system. There's no logic to it beyond being punitive and causing harm--institutionalized revenge--as opposed to reforming the person.
