Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been transferred to a minimum-security prison near Scranton, Pa., to serve his federal prison sentence after being convicted in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s Russia investigation. He is set to be released on Christmas Day 2024, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

The U.S. Penitentiary at Canaan Township is a high-security prison for men built in 2005, with a minimum-security satellite camp for about 113 inmates — where Manafort is staying — about 134 miles north of Philadelphia, according to the Bureau of Prisons.

Manafort, 70, was transferred late last week from the jail in Alexandria, Va., to the Virginia state Northern Neck Regional Jail, state records show, and logged into the federal system overnight Tuesday.

Manafort was sentenced on March 13 to 7½ years in prison in Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election for conspiring to hide tens of millions of dollars earned through undisclosed lobbying for a Russia-aligned politician in Ukraine and conspiring to tamper with witnesses, as well as bank and tax fraud.

1. Regardless, it's still much more prison than camp

If you read "Orange is the New Black", that will be clear.

2. Maybe they want to see who visits him

I know that sounds naïve, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t continue to watch him since he didn’t cooperate with them. Why not use him to get other people and more information?

Anyway it makes sense to me since it involves National Security.

3. Will he be out in time to run Trump's 2020 campaign?

Or will the pResident have to select a new future felon?
