    They put him in a freaking turtle suit!?!

    That’s suicide prevention clothing in jails… Dude probably doesn’t even have a mattress. It’s likely that the only things in his cell are him, the turtle suit, and maaaaybe a bible.

    They’re called turtle suits because jails are actually pretty cold. Not dangerously so but just cold enough to be uncomfortable. If you’re wearing one you’re on suicide watch and they don’t let you have anything else in your cell. No blankets, mattress, books, underwear, or anything. The only real way to get warm is to get into a fetal position inside of the turtle suit. Like a turtle.

    I got a surprise suicide booking in a jail way back by a cop who didn’t like me. Kept me in there for 2 weeks with zero human contact. They wouldn’t even say your welcome when I thanked them for my food. Found out when I got out that they were telling the court that I wasn’t mentally suitable for court.

    You lose your mind very quickly in those conditions… My paranoia is telling me that they definitely want that…

        It is torture.

        They want to hurt him without a beating.

        This man will suffer for all of us.

        And to think that some pathetic rat snitched himself like that.

        I hope that boomer reflects on what they have done but you cant expect something like that form humman trash

          Bruh the dude is a murderer with a gun on him in a public place. He’s not a messianic figure. Still, he shouldn’t be cruelly treated.

        It is only civilized if you are good boy…

        It is Russian style gulag if regime don’t like you.

        Always has been, but working class pretends like it ain’t so they can sleep eaiser at night

      Everyone should be contacting the ACLU and NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund to make sure Luigi’s human rights aren’t being violated and encourage them to visit where he’s being held so an impartial party can report on his well being.

      Edit - adding the aclu website link with the contact us page.

      https://www.aclu.org/about/contact-us

      I’m pretty sure we have to select Pennsylvania and respectfully contact the branch closest to Luigi. The ACLU has been fighting these fights in court on our behalf for a long time. Be kind to them, they are our allies.

      Thanks for sharing your experience, this is additional context that I’m glad to have.

      I’m sorry that you experienced what you did in order to have this insight to share. I’ve had many patches in my own life where I’ve struggled with suicidality and what you describe sounds like the last thing that would help someone who is in crisis. No-one deserves such inhumane treatment.
