Harvey Weinstein is currently serving time at Rikers after being convicted of sexual assault in a case in Los Angeles. Since, many of his other cases have been dismissed or not tried yet, Weinstein has been threatening to perish in jail before his April trial.

Harvey Weinstein begged to go on trial earlier than planned, saying he isn't sure he will survive long enough in the "hell hole" of New York's Rikers Island jail complex.

A gaunt-looking Harvey Weinstein pleaded with the judge in his upcoming criminal retrial to move the start date forward, even by a week, because “I don’t know how much longer I can hold on” while the fallen mogul remains imprisoned in New York City’s notorious Rikers Island jail.
