Rats and raw sewage: Jeffrey Epstein jail blighted by 'horrible' conditions

Yep. Manafort's gut looks satisfied. Doesn't look like he's into exercise.


The Metropolitan correctional center is under fire in the wake of Epstein’s death – and critics say urgent change is needed

The New York Metropolitan correctional center sits on a corner in downtown Manhattan, eerily quiet given its location between the financial district and Chinatown.

At the junction of Pearl Street and Park Row, the sound of trucks whizzing by and cars honking at pedestrians remains strangely absent. The headquarters of the New York police department is next door and surrounding roads have been closed since 9/11.

Pedestrians and cyclists are permitted to walk the perimeter of the prison, with the exception of its front entrance. Guard houses are dotted round the building. Tourists heading to the Brooklyn Bridge, bankers riding bikes and parents pushing children in strollers pass by as though passing any other government building. Barbed wire and frosted windows give the only clues to its purpose.
