‘Strangest Interview I’ve Ever Done’: Prisoners Shout from the Windows to Talk to NewsNation About Suspected CEO Shooter’s Living Conditions

In a truly surreal moment of television, NewsNation spoke on Wednesday to prisoners shouting from their windows about the facility’s newest inmate — Luigi Mangione.

Days after a manhunt came to an end with his apprehension, the 26-year-old Mangione was sent to Pennsylvania’s State Correctional Institution Huntingdon. There, NewsNation’s Alex Caprariello reported live from just outside the barbed wire fence encircling the facility, where inmates began yelling out toward him.

“Luigi’s conditions suck!” one inmate said from his window. “Free Luigi!”

Hours later, Caprariello returned to the fence after inmates apparently said, “Tell Ashleigh Banfield that Luigi is watching at 10 o’clock.”

Banfield, who was in the studio, then asked if Mangione even has a television to be able to watch the news. The other inmates, apparently watching the report live from their cells, responded seconds later.

“No!” several of them yelled out to Caprariello.

“They said ‘No,’ right?” Banfield asked him. “Obviously, we have a little bit of a delay, but they’re getting — yeah, they’re getting the questions and they’re giving us the answers!

“Wow, this is quite something. This is the strangest interview I’ve ever conducted.”

Minutes later, the camera panned back over to the prison as lights in multiple cells began flickering.

“They got their own light switches,” Caprariello said. “They’re obviously watching TV.”

“They’re all doing it!” Banfield said.
