      I see people excited to see Paul Manafort sent to Rikers Island and put in solitary confinement. 1. Rikers Island should be closed down 2. Solitary confinement should be ended. We must be so principled in our calls for reform that we want them even for our enemies.

      I know that it seems exciting to see a person of privilege finally sent to the place that hundreds of thousands of us have been sent to across the years. I get that, I do. But Rikers is still a hell hole that nobody should have to go to. Even Paul Manafort.

      When a man like Paul Manafort gets sent to jail or prison, it gets real easy to see who actually cares about fair sentencing and prison conditions and who doesn't really care at all. We can't scream for harshness with Manafort - then leniency with our own. Just be consistent.

      Rikers isn't a place you send people if your interest is justice, rehabilitation or reform. Full stop. It isn't a place you should send ANYONE. I hope advocates of #CloseRikers maintain their clarity of opposition, even for Manafort.
