TRUMP CUFFLINKS

Before they lock him up and throw away the keys, the criminal defendant to be tried and convicted racist and rapist will wear these.

Normally, the handcuffs are returned to the original officer. When the suspect is transferred from one officer to another, the 2nd officer will place another set of cuffs on the suspect. Once secured and double-locked, the original officer or the new officer will remove the original cuffs and return them to the officer who owns them.

This type of “handcuff exchange” can happen many times. For example, if the suspect is arrested by the original officer, who calls a transport van, the transport van driver may place a 2nd set, remove the 1st, and give it back. Then the suspect will be transferred to the jail, where they will remove the cuffs or shackles and replace them with their own - and give that set back to the transport operator and on and on and on.

In some departments, if all the cuffs are issued property, they may exchange them, but a lot of officers don’t like this as they may get a set of cuffs that haven’t been maintained properly and most prefer to use their own set, and have them given back on transfer.

 

Perhaps, they will give him a room with a view. Sing Sing Correctional Facility, formerly Ossining Correctional Facility, is a maximum-security prison operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision in Ossining, New York. It is about 30 miles (48 km) north of New York City on the east bank of the Hudson River. It holds about 1,700 inmates and housed the execution chamber for the State of New York until the abolition of capital punishment in New York in 1977.

The name "Sing Sing" was derived from the Sintsink Native American tribe from whom the land was purchased in 1685, and was formerly the name of the village. In 1970, the prison's name was changed to the Ossining Correctional Facility, but it reverted to its original name in 1985. There are plans to convert the original 1825 cell block into a period museum.

On a personal note: This prison property is bisected by the Metro-North Railroad's four-track Hudson Line. I have traveled past it multiple times on my way to deliver college lectures.
