Luigi Mangione describes daily prison routine in letter to nursing student following killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO

Luigi Mangione’s daily routine at a Brooklyn detention facility consists of reading, eating ramen, and attending chess nights with his fellow incarcerated ‘brothers’, according to a new notice.

Last year, 26-year-old Mangione was charged with the murder of Brian Thompson, 50, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, who was fatally shot outside of a hotel in New York City on December 4.

Following a nation-wide manhunt, the suspect was taken into custody at a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania, on December 10, before being indicted on eleven New York state charges, including murder in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, by the Manhattan district attorney’s office on December 17.

Two days later, Mangione received an additional four federal charges, including two counts of stalking, murder through use of a firearm, and a firearms offense.

Mangione has pled not guilty to the charges he is facing.

Currently, the suspected murderer is being detained at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn without bond—the same establishment that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is currently being held in ahead of his trial on racketeering and sex trafficking offenses.

Mainly used for post-arrest detention for people awaiting trial in federal courts in Manhattan or Brooklyn, past and current high-profile inmates of MDC Brooklyn include rapper 6ix9ine, Smallville actress Allison Mack, R. Kelly, and luxury real estate agents Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander.
