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.
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.

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.
