Luigi Mangione’s cellmates shouted a message to the public from inside the Pennsylvania prison during a wild livestream, as fellow inmates highlighted his “terrible” conditions.
In a live broadcast on NewsNation Inmates were heard shouting at journalist Alex Caprariello and Ashleigh Banfield that conditions for Mangione, 26, “stink.”
Inmates were heard shouting at reporters, who were outside the Huntingdon State Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania and waved back as they watched the broadcast inside the prison.
“Luigi is watching right now,” one of them was heard shouting to reporters.
Inmates later said Mangione does not have access to a television inside his single cell, where he is kept separate from his fellow inmates.
The prisoners also responded “no” when asked if they had “eyes on Luigi”, and one was heard shouting “Free Luigi”.
They spoke of the “terrible” prison conditions and expressed their hope that he would give up his extradition challenge, according to the outlet.
On the prison menu, Mangione could choose between fruits, grits, bread, eggs and coffee for breakfast. ‘Porcupine Meatballs’, potatoes, bread and fruit for lunch, and macaroni and cheese, pasta casserole with beans, tomatoes and broccoli for dinner.

Caprariello said, “They’re saying no, they’re saying nonsense, they’re saying terrible.” They’re saying that’s not what they’re eating.’

Banfield asked the prisoners through the television broadcast how dinner went, many responded shouting.
Caprariello said, “They’re saying no, they’re saying nonsense, they’re saying terrible.” They say that’s not what they eat.’
A former organized crime associate who spent 13 years in prison, including four at Rikers Island, described the New York City prison as the “most dangerous in America.”
Gene Borello warned that if Mangione were moved there, he would face harsh realities including substandard food, unsanitary conditions and safety concerns, NewsNation reported.
“You have to watch your back every day,” Borello said. ‘There is no structure. It’s just total chaos. It’s incessant stabbings and gang violence where police officers are afraid to go to work. It’s a place you want to avoid.
Mangione faces a second-degree murder charge for allegedly killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, outside a Manhattan hotel on Dec. 4.
The alleged gunman appeared in court Tuesday to fight Rikers’ extradition and was seen yelling at reporters as he was led to the Pennsylvania courthouse.
Mangione was heard shouting, “Completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience!”

Gene Borello, a former Rikers inmate, warned that if Mangione were moved there, he would face harsh realities including poor quality food, unsanitary conditions and safety concerns.

The alleged gunman appeared in court Tuesday to fight Rikers’ extradition and was seen yelling at reporters as he was led to the Pennsylvania courthouse.

Mangione was heard shouting that they were “completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.” and “this is completely unfair and an insult to the American people” as he struggled with police officers while shackled and dressed in prison clothing.
The outburst came after someone asked the Ivy League graduate if he “did it,” referencing the murder of Brian Thompson, according to the Wall Street Journal.
He also shouted “this is completely unfair and an insult to the American people” as he struggled with police officers while shackled and dressed in prison clothing.
Fingerprints found at the scene of the UnitedHealthcare CEO’s murder match those of the alleged killer, police say.
NYPD sources say the gunman left a Kind bar and a water bottle at the scene, and that fingerprints on the items matched Mangione’s.
Police also reportedly found a bottle of water that the suspect purchased at Starbucks shortly before the murder.
The fingerprint match would be the first forensic scientific evidence against Mangione.
Authorities have said that Mangione was found with a three-page manifesto that is currently being investigated and which they have called a “claim of responsibility.”
The document is separate evidence from the spiral notebook allegedly found on him in which he wrote a “to-do” list and flirted with the idea of bombing Midtown to kill the millionaire health care chief.

The three-page manifesto found on Mangione at the time of his arrest claimed that the United States had the “most expensive healthcare system in the world,” but criticized the system for making the United States 42nd in life expectancy.

Authorities have said that Mangione was found with a three-page manifesto that is currently being investigated and which they have called a “claim of responsibility.”
In the manifesto, Mangione allegedly wrote about the grandiose size of UnitedHealthcare and the profits it generates and then more broadly condemned health insurance companies for putting profits before care.
Details about his writings come amid the UPenn graduate’s own experience with the medical world, as he had been struggling after a spinal injury. His elaborate online presence also showed that he had read several books on back pain.
—To save you a long investigation, I clearly state that I was not working with anyone. “This was pretty trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD (and) a lot of patience,” he allegedly wrote in the manifesto, according to the Daily Beast.
He went on to say he had “respect” for federal investigators and apologized for causing any “trauma,” but appeared to defend his alleged actions.
“Frankly, these parasites deserved it,” the manifesto said.
He claimed that the United States had the “most expensive healthcare system in the world,” but criticized the system for making the United States 42nd in life expectancy.
Mangione has received tremendous support online following his arrest for the execution-style shooting of Thompson, including thousands of dollars in fundraising for his legal fund.
So far, hundreds of donors have raised more than $35,000 for the accused killer and even sent messages calling him a hero.

Mangione has also had fan accounts, memes and video edits accompanied by thousands of messages referring to the alleged killer as a ‘hero’.
‘All revolutions start somewhere. Let the American people start to see,” said one donor.
‘Every revolution has a pioneer, a martyr. “You have chosen to be the chosen one and you will be remembered as such,” said another.
“I’m sorry for the back pain, I don’t think you should have taken his life; it’s not our decision, but the message is one that needed to be heard,” said one follower.
