Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein says life behind bars at New York’s Rikers Island has been miserable and dangerous. In a new interview, Weinstein claims a fellow inmate punched him in the face while he was waiting to use a phone, leaving him bleeding on the floor. The former movie mogul also described spending nearly 23 hours a day in his cell and feeling constantly threatened by other prisoners as he awaits further legal proceedings.
