Jonathan Entin, a professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, told Daily Express US it is most likely for Trump to end up at the infamous Rikers Island facility, if found guilty, based on where his trial will be heard.
Prisoners at Rikers Island are still being shackled and handcuffed to metal restraint desks when they are in classrooms despite a New York correction commissioner promising to remove them last year.
Dozens of detainees in three Rikers housing units are sometimes shackled in restraint desks, correction sources told the Daily News. The specially-built metal desks are used to restrain “potentially disruptive inmates during therapeutic, educational, programming, and/or recreational sessions in a classroom setting,” the department says.
