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…
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.
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.
They put him in a freaking turtle suit!?!

“No sane person would turn to violence!” is the message media will push then
Kinda cruel to do to a dude that apparently has chronic back pain.
Cruelty is the point.
What a gross country we are.

Chest, fuck this shitty country
Lord and savior jesus chest
This feels like it’s at least shaping up to be a worker-oligarch civil war instead of a left-right one.
