NewsNation managed to conduct a mass interview with inmates from outside the prison where he's being held thanks to his fellow inmates watching the network live—and they're on Mangione's side.

It's not just that many folks online appear to be on Luigi Mangione's side—it looks like his fellow inmates are, too.

A report by NewsNation from outside the Pennsylvania jail where Mangione is being held has gone viral after his fellow inmates decided to give an interview of sorts.


As NewsNation's Alex Caprariello was reporting live outside the jail, Mangione's fellow inmates began yelling out the windows to communicate with him and in-studio anchor Ashleigh Banfield while they watched the report from inside the jail.

As Caprariello spoke with Banfield, inmates suddenly yelled out the windows of State Correctional Institution Huntingdon that "Luigi's conditions suck!"

Those comments were soon followed by the catchphrase that has taken hold of the internet: "Free Luigi!"

Caprariello revealed that earlier in the day, the inmates had told him to:

"Tell Ashleigh Banfield that Luigi is watching at 10:00."

Caprariello then said that he assumed the comment was a joke of some kind, as Mangione is being held in his own cell away from other inmates. But Banfield was keen to conduct an interview of sorts with the inmates anyway. She said:

"Can I just ask the guys if they can hear me right now to answer yes or no very loud: Does Luigi have television in his single cell."

Sure enough, the inmates, who were clearly watching Banfield's show inside, called a "no!" out the windows. Banfield was bemused by the encounter.

"Wow, this is quite something. This is the strangest interview I've ever conducted."

Later, the inmates began flashing lights in their cells as a signal to Caprariello and Banfield. The inmates also had some bones to pick with the food they and Mangione are being served, yelling out the windows that the food is terrible when Banfield asked.

This is sending me 🤣💀 can’t make this sh** up!! ( excuse the snort 🤭) #LuigiMangione #news #live #unitedhealthcare #crime #nyc #fyp @Ashleigh Banfield


On social media, people were just as mystified and tickled by the bizarre moment as Banfield and Caprariello were.




But others found the moment disturbing, given the nature of Mangione's alleged crime.


Well, 2024 sure isn't letting up.

24-year-old YouTuber Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov was arrested after making contact with one of the world's last uncontacted tribes, making the perilous and ill-advised journey to North Sentinel Island and leaving a coconut and a can of Diet Coke on the beach as a gift to the Sentinelese.

Polyakov, 24, arrived at the northeastern shore of North Sentinel Island at 10 a.m. on March 29, according to police reports. He used binoculars to survey the land but saw no one. He then climbed ashore, leaving behind a Diet Coke and a coconut, took sand samples, and recorded a video, the authorities said.

Vivian Wilson Drags Dad Elon Musk For Claiming Protesters Are Being Paid By Democrats

After billionaire Elon Musk erroneously claimed that massive anti-Trump administration protests around the country have been full of "paid protesters," his estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, underscored the extent of his hypocrisy in a post on Threads.

Millions of people participated in protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk on Saturday, with demonstrations held across all 50 states and around the world. The protests, organized by a pro-democracy movement, were a response to what they describe as a "hostile takeover" and an attack on American rights and freedoms.

Musk Slammed For Criticizing 'Suicidal Empathy' Of SCOTUS Justices Who Ruled In Favor Of Due Process

Once again borrowing from the language of the toxic, insecure, red pill/blue pill, alpha male, incel subcultures that gave rise to public figures like Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes, Elon Musk attacked the women of the United States Supreme Court for following the rule of law and the United States Constitution instead of showing fealty to Republican President Donald Trump.

In a 4-5 dissent, only the women of SCOTUS decided the core of our justice system—due process—can stop the kinds of mistakes Trump's Department of Homeland Security is making routinely, like ICE abducting and deporting innocent people with visa or green cards to a hellish prison in El Salvador.
