Rikers is a jail which means it houses three groups. Those are pretrial detainee, people convicted of misdemeanors (crimes punishable by up to a year), or people convicted of felonies (crimes punishable by more than a year) but who were sentenced to less than a year.

If he is sentenced to incarceration for over a year, Trump would go to one of New York's prisons. If under a year, he could go to a jail like Rikers.

*edit to fix horrible phrasing.

Did you cruise or live aboard? I had a Cat '22 about four years ago and lately I have been thinking of taking the leap to go cruise for a couple years.

The thing is sovcits get little bits of truth, exaggerate them, and string a bunch randomly together. For the 45 degree thing, one way to revoke a will in some U.S. states is to clearly write something like VOID on it. To avoid not being clear enough, best practice would be big red letters at an angle across the text. But also, there are easier and more normal ways to void it.

Point bring, I feel somebody saw something like that and took away that red text + angle = get out of jail free. Which, no, that's not how law works.
