Harvey Weinstein says life inside Rikers Island is hell, isolating - NewsNation
Overview
Harvey Weinstein said life inside Rikers Island is “hell,” describing the facility as more isolating and of much lower quality than state prison, and complained about the severe restrictions and mental toll of prolonged isolation. The recent mistrial in his New York rape retrial, after a jury deadlocked, leaves that case unresolved and means he remains in custody while further legal decisions are made. The report contains discussions of sexual assault that some readers may find disturbing.
