Once again, we have no direct information about Weinstein’s specific, individual activities every day at Mohawk Correctional Facility in Rome, upstate New York, east of Syracuse. In general, Mohawk is a medium security facility, the type of facility that houses a variety of convicted felons, — drug offenders, white-collar crime offenders, sexual offenders, and so forth. As the category of prison suggests, they’ve got reinforced walls and security — as about three-quarters of people held there have a history of violence — but are less reinforced than a maximum security facility. According to a Reddit discussion initiated by a family member of an inmate at Mohawk, Mohawk used to be a bit more rowdy but has calmed down substantially in recent years.
Currently, Mohawk houses 1,400 inmates across its buildings and 150-acre expanse of grounds, including a 112-bed medical unit that Weinstein might be taking advantage of quite often given his deteriorating health. Mohawk also has a typical suite of vocational programs, law services, sex offender treatment programs, and such, some of which it makes sense that Weinstein would be taking advantage of. This is especially true because his team of lawyers is currently in the process of trying to overturn his conviction, so he would need to consult with them on legal matters.
Back in 2020, Justin Paperny, CEO of White Collar Advice, spoke to Town & Country Magazine about Weinstein’s prospective life behind bars. Notably, Paperny cited the need for Weinstein to develop some kind of daily prison routine, and the likelihood of Weinstein working with consultants to that end.
