...In January, ahead of his trial, he was transferred from a California facility to the notorious 10 South - a jail deep inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in TriBeCa that Avenatti's Miami-based attorney Scott Srebnick described to The Post as "Sheer dehumanization."
...Avenatti was transferred to 5 South, a general population facility, on Thursday, after one of his defense attorneys, Danya Perry, wrote an appeal to MCC - saying Avenatti had reached a "Breaking point."
...Michael Lambert, who heads up a law firm that represented El Chapo, told The Post that the conditions of 10 South - a special housing unit that is primarily designed to hold terrorists and others who would face threats from the general jail population or be a threat themselves - are "Nothing short of torture."
...At Avenatti's new home in 5 South, general population privileges include 92 hours out of the cell per week, during which prisoners have unlimited email access, cell phone privileges, television privileges and library access.
...In April, Avenatti will be tried in the same courthouse for allegedly stealing $300,000 from Daniels.
