a more restrictive setting than his current location? Is there any reason for the move?

So Manafort will have a short trip each day. Also a short trip to DC trial. Suggests the judge is not inclined to move trial to Roanoke.

Though the jail is considered maximum security, the layout of the eight-story building is reminiscent of a dormitory, with cells lining the outside walls and a lounge in the middle.

The 450 inmates live in cells with doors and windows rather than bars, and are spread through housing units holding up to 90 people each where they are supervised by one or more deputies, said David Rocco, a captain in the Alexandria sheriff's office.

In the lounges, inmates can watch television, play cards or otherwise be outside their cells except for shift changes and head counts during the day and for eight hours at night.

Inmates may make unlimited collect calls and have radios and CD players in their cells, and have access to programs taught by volunteers. "You respect them, and in return they respect you," Captain Rocco said.
