Hello and welcome to the details of Trump foe Michael Avenatti in jail cell that held El Chapo, say lawyers and now with the details
In a filing late on Monday night, Avenatti’s lawyers said their client is in solitary confinement under 24-hour lockdown on a floor in the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in downtown Manhattan that houses people charged with terrorism offenses.
They also said Avenatti has “great difficulty functioning,” is sleeping with three blankets because the temperature feels like the mid-40s (6-8 degrees Celsius) and faces “special administrative measures” that almost completely block contact with outsiders.
While jail officials have been “professional, respectful and courteous,” Avenatti’s lawyers want him moved to the general population, where he can meet with them and better prepare for trial, which could start next week.
Jail officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Avenatti, 48, became well known for representing pornography actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against US President Donald Trump.
The Manhattan jail has long faced criticism for its living conditions.
At his sentencing last July, Guzman described living there as “psychological, emotional, mental torture 24 hours a day.”
Guzman and Sayfullo Saipov, who was charged with killing eight people by driving a pickup truck down a Manhattan bike lane in October 2017, are among other MCC inmates to have faced special administrative measures.
The jail is also where the financier Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide last August while awaiting trial on sexual abuse charges.
Avenatti was charged with threatening to publicize accusations that Nike Inc illegally paid families of college basketball recruits unless the sportswear company paid him US$15 million (RM61 million) to US$25 million to conduct a probe.
Prosecutors also charged him with concealing a settlement offer from his client.
Avenatti has pleaded not guilty. He was jailed last week in California after prosecutors there said he violated bail conditions in a separate criminal case. Avenatti was flown on Friday to Manhattan. — Reuters
