You think Paul Manafort went to church services this morning ?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I think I would do anything to get out of my cell.

[tazkcmo]

1. I don't think about him

Except for when I'm on the toilet.

[Achilleaze]

2. Praise Be (R)

[HAB911]

3. LOL

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. A lot of prisoners have epiphanies in prison.

Maybe Paul will embrace Judaism or Islam.



P.S. Most of the inmates look legitimately moved. There are a couple there who looked like they went just to get out of their cells.

5. I'd be happy if he embraced telling the truth.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. I would be ecstatic if he gives up Trump.

[HAB911]

6. No doubt

IF the perceived rate of return is sufficient

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. Sometimes it's a con but finding God in prison comes with benefits, like early release.

[HAB911]

9. I'm sure prison

would make even me come to Jesus, LOL

[marble falls]

10. No but he should have. He needs to have a come to Jesus moment. He needs ...

admit to his sinful nature, repent and atone. Especially, atone.

12. Fella went to parochial school.

My buddy went to parochial school. He said they did all the things we did in public school.

[marble falls]

14. I went to parochial school, Missouri Synod Lutheran, in the late fifties and early sixties...

we weren't much like the public school kids at all. When I started sixth grade in public school, it was falling off the turnip wagon.

I wouldn't swear or smoke cigarettes and I would turn the other cheek and never run.

A kid who became a good friend in HS asked my why I wouldn't swear or smoke and I told him I was going to become a minister. He told me they didn't need a minister, they needed a lawyer.

15. My buddy went to Catholic high school in the 80s.

He said there was sex and drugs there, like at public school.

[marble falls]

17. The difference between 1950's and 1980's.

[duforsure]

11. If he went to the prison church

I bet he was praying for a pardon, but it will only worsen his legal situation , for him and others. He will be in jail the rest of his life he'll learn , unless he talks. They have more than enough to stack many, many state charges against him easily, and keep him locked up forever. Many more will realize they too will be in the same boat. Pardons will make it worse , not better. Manafort also knows trump promises a lot , and delivers rarely.

13. The guy in the lower right corner has it figured out. Nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. How about the guy behind him, further to the right ?

20. "How many more days until I am outta here?"

[brooklynite]

18. "What life is like for Paul Manafort in jail"

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.

19. If Trump had a scintilla of empathy he would have to believe Manafort is is in jail...

If Trump had a scintilla of empathy he would have to believe Manafort is is in jail largely because of him.

It's doubtful his actions would have attracted the gaze of the Feds had he not become Trump's campaign manager, and it's almost certain they wouldn't have come after him with such ferocity.
