It's somewhat a mystery. When inmate Manzanares was transferred from Alaska State DOC to the Federal Detention Center at Sea-Tac, I was aware that FDC-Sea-Tac holds people while they are on pre-trial status, or while they wait to be transferred to federal prison. I believed he was in Seattle for either medical purposes, or the convenience of his federal court Attorneys. Since inmate Manzanares was returned to Alaska DOC after only 3 days (Sunday - Wednesday), I think his short lived transfer to WA could have been for either situation. Parties have previously complained about the logistics of Alaska, and accommodating a global witness list. MOOAny clue as to why he’s being moved around? TIA
