Inmates at the Pennsylvania prison where Luigi Mangione is being held conducted a wild interview with a TV reporter outside, screaming answers out the windows and flickering the lights to signal yes or no.
NewsNation journalist Alex Caprariello was reporting on Mangione’s conditions at the State Correctional Institution in Huntington, Pennsylvania, Wednesday when inmates, who were watching him on TV, yelled out, “Luigi’s conditions suck.”
Caprariello returned to the prison at 10 p.m. for Ashleigh Banfield, when the inmates watched the program on TV and answered questions Banfield posed from her studio desk.
The prisoners screamed “No” when asked if Mangione had a television in his cell.
“This is the strangest interview I’ve ever conducted,” Banfield said.
After Banfield read the prison’s menu for the day and asked the inmates if the food was good, she was met with a chorus of prisoners screaming that it was “terrible” and “B.S.”
