Inmate number 45343 will wear a jail-issued jumpsuit for hearings with a judge. When he appears before a jury, he will be allowed to wear clothes that family members bring him.
"He's going to be identified by a number, maybe by his last name. No one is really kind in a jail," said a DC-based attorney who's represented people in Northern Neck and has consulted for clients about the Russia investigation. Until now, "When he went to Starbucks, they said good morning."
If Manafort pleads guilty to white-collar crime or a jury determines him so, a federal prison or prison camp could await him. That's much different inmates are sorted into low- to high-security facilities based on their crimes and histories.
But until his trial, Manafort's days will fall into a forced routine, as described on a private website that chronicles the nation's jails. Wake up early, roll call, breakfast. Participate in school or a work program. Lunch, roll call, work. Evenings in your cell or in a common pod with a TV. Repeat.

(15,543 posts)2. I consulted the White House's republican numberologist
who revealed that 45343 is mystical numbero-speak for a low-down, no-good, money-grubbing, traitorous republican SLICKSTER who undoubtedly hangs with draft-dodging republican casino hustlers, and Evil Empire* thugs and bagmen.

Even if he's in one of the better prisons, it's a huge shock.
I personally know someone who spent time in the same facility that Blagojevich is in. He was there just short of three years. It definitely changed him, and Blagojevich has already been there over twice as long. Manafort and Cohen should get to have a special field trip to Englewood to have a talk with him. It might drive home a real hard reality about what choices they should make.
