People are calling the jail, demanding to know why Manafort is in a "VIP" cell.

The jail's online database listed Manafort's name and inmate number and showed he was assigned to the "VIP-1" housing unit in the 500-bed facility.
Superintendent Ted Hull told NBC News that was a mistake: He usually keeps information about high-profile inmates under wraps. And by Monday morning, Manafort's name had vanished from the list.
"I've probably gotten a dozen calls people saying, 'I want to know why he's in VIP!'" the jail chief said.
"All that is is a name and number," Hull said. "It's a small, fully functional, self-contained cell unit for high-profile inmates."
A regular unit would have between eight and 16 cells with a common shower and dayroom, Hull said. But the VIP unit has everything in one place for a single inmate.

life" I bet he is not a happy camper.

(70,663 posts).... I have no doubt that he would put a hit out on him and the same goes w/Cohen
too. We are just seeing a small part of the largest and most powerful crime syndicate
in history and Putin is the Godfather.

(23,995 posts)hell, it's amazing he's still alive. if he gets offed by the Russian Mob, that's pure goddam distilled Karma in action. seems like a 50:50 shot at this point, depending on whether Vlad wants to maintain his orange asset or sees greater benefits in letting trump fall by the wayside.

(18,124 posts)he would be put in general population. But everyone knows a rich, white, repthugliKKKan male will get VIP treatment, even in jail. This is trumps ameriKKKa now by the way. I bet trump called and demanded this manafort POS be treated nicely.
