Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein took a bit of a detour on his way to prison. After being found guilty of rape in the third degree, and criminal sexual act in the first degree, he was put in handcuffs and started his journey to Rikers Island Correctional Facility. He had some chest pains on the way and got taken to hospital for a week, but he’s officially on his way to jail!
His sentencing isn’t until March 11th, so he’s just there for holding at the moment. The point is that he’s there, and we’ll just have to wait and see how long for.

So what exactly can he look forward to in his new home? We took to Yelp to find out.
The Yelp page for Rikers Island Correctional Facility currently shows that it has a rating of two out of five stars and a total of 40 reviews.
First off, he can expect chicken bone stabbings and drinking hand sanitiser. This review is from 2014 though, and there’s no way in hell anybody would be wasting hand sanitiser at the moment. The instant Kool Aid thing probably still checks out, though.
He also appears to be in for the smell of body odour, bleach, and beefaroni (whatever that is). I’m guessing that the chicken bone used to stab the earlier dude came from a hot dog. There’s a fun mental image for you.
Moving away from the food, it sounds like Harvey is in for a luxurious sleeping experience with bed bugs and lice, he’ll be sharing his food with rats, and mutant water bugs will be around wherever the hell they live.
If he hates his time there as much as everybody else seems to, he can tell visiting kiddiwinks to never grow up and assault anyone.
So this is the prison where Harvey Weinstein has found himself. I look forward to the review he eventually leaves, although I’m not sure I want to know any more about the chicken bone situation.
