Months after a judge said Luigi Mangione could have a laptop in jail to review evidence, lawyers for the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson say the device has yet to be delivered.
To comply with jail regulations, she said, the laptop had to be sent to an outside technology vendor to disable its connections to the internet, printers and wireless networks — a process that took “many weeks to complete.”
lol. Weeks? MDC has restricted laptops specifically designed for this and several high profile cases in MDC recently got them. Diddy had one.
I contract often, I’d say at least half or more of the places I start at take a month to onboard me for laptop(s) and necessary access.
So this doesn’t surprise me.
It took 7 weeks for me to even get a laptop at one job, followed by 2 weeks before my access tickets were complete. I was paid the entire time. Insanity.
Yeah that has nothing to do with how long it actually takes to get the laptop and do the laptop. That is called a purchasing issue which this type of place doesn’t have those same types of issues.
someone please correct me on this but like aren’t jails runned by states while prisons are federal? If so, then would that mean that regulations differ by jail or by state?
In regards to the laptop, maybe the vender has a backlog of machines to disable.
The point of brining up Diddy is was that he got a restricted laptop in MDC and Luigi is in MDC.
MDC should have this figured out. This smells like stalling.
Edit: also worth noting, most prisons have laptop and tablet platforms that are specifically for prisoners. The devices, the network, etc. It’s all an out of the box solution handled by a vendor, and it’s locked down from the jump. This should be like McDonald’s serving another hamburger. It’s a request for something that has been dumbed down and automated.

I for one would love to ask why removing a WiFi card takes weeks.
I would love to ask why they didnt have laptops without WiFi/BT in them in the first place.
This isnt exactly a jail in west bumblefuck. They have laptops for this purpose.
We all know exactly why.

The feds have some facilities that are oriented around pretrial detention. MDC in Manhattan is one of them.
Jails are at the county/parish level. Prisons are either state or federal. He’s being held in a federal facility.
