Harvey Weinstein convicted: Where does he go from here?
Weinstein will be housed on Rikers Island, one of the most notorious corrections complexes in the country
Harvey Weinstein has a new title: inmate with the New York City Department of Correction.
As of Monday, the convicted movie mogul has a "book & case number" with the DOC, which will soon assign him to a jail or facility within their system, department records showed Monday afternoon. His inmate information was later removed from the site.
A jury found Weinstein, 67, guilty of criminal sex act and third-degree rape. He was acquitted of the most serious charges of predatory sexual assault, for which there were two counts, and first-degree rape. He avoided a potential life sentence, but still faces decades behind bars.

Shortly after the conviction was handed down, the judge remanded Weinstein into custody until his sentencing on March 11. Court officers led him out of the courtroom in handcuffs shortly after the verdict was read and will likely be housed at one of the most notorious corrections complexes in the country: Rikers Island.
While it’s up to the city’s corrections department to decide where inmates are housed, Judge James Burke said he’d ask that Weinstein be placed in the jail's North Infirmary Command, where he’d have “something tantamount to protective custody.”
He was reportedly transported to the island by ambulance and will be housed in the infirmary, officials confirmed.

Rikers is one of the world's biggest jails and is located in the East River between the Bronx and Queens, New York. It also houses a medical facility, which will be needed based on Weinstein's health conditions.
Weinstein's inmate information was not available on New York City's Department of Correction website, and department spokespersons did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

He could have also ended up in one of the Big Apple's multiple other Department of Correction facilities, such as the Manhattan Detention Complex, which is connected to the courthouse where Weinstein stood trial.
But the once-powerful Hollywood figure must also appear before a judge in California, where he was charged in January with forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by use of force and sexual battery by restraint.
The charges are connected to two separate instances that occurred over the course of as many days in 2013, according to a press release.
