Harvey Weinstein's legal team alleges that he is facing egregious conditions at Rikers Island, fearing that his health issues could lead to his death in custody.
His lawyers claim that he is subjected to 'gulag-like conditions', describing prolonged suffering without necessary medical care, including essential treatment for his cancer.
Weinstein's attorney highlighted the inhumane treatment in Rikers, questioning whether the facility operates under constitutional norms, comparing it to a gulag where inmates are treated poorly.
Following a diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia, Weinstein was moved to Bellevue hospital after health concerns heightened, sparking legal actions for better conditions and medical care.
