A few months ago, a video starts going viral of a man named Michael, who states that he was

booked into the MDC Brooklyn facility and he was placed in the same unit as Luigi

Mangione.

Michael is like a young guy, I want to say in his 20s, and he very interestingly says in this

now viral video that the COs, the correctional officers, they want to put you with your type of people.

So they immediately ask him when he's getting booked, like, what gang are you in?

They just like assume he's in a gang, which is very bold of them to assume.

But nevertheless, Michael is telling them, put me with the Italians.

And they're like, we don't have Italians, but we have a guy named Luigi.

So they're like, you're going to go with Luigi.

And he thought it was like a whole joke.

He thought he's going with like some random guy named Luigi who just happens to be Italian.

He was recently booked into Brooklyn MDC.

So he knows about the Luigi Mangione case.

And so as he's getting booked, he realized he's going to be put in the same cell as Luigi Mangione.

Now, this is his story from his perspective.

There's no way to like fact check or verify that any of this actually happened in the facility. But this is what he says happened. He says that as he's going into the cell to put his stuff away, Luigi's just standing there. Like, he turns around Luigi Mangione is just standing there. And he's just all very nice, like, hey, how are you? Michael said that

Luigi is very nice. He introduces himself. Michael shakes his hand and says, yo, it's an honor to meet you.

And at this point, Michael's got another friend, another inmate that he's kind of known, and he's

standing right next to him. And he's telling Michael Michael don't say no goofy shit like that ever again. Don't be saying that in jail. Like you can't get away with stuff like that. But here's where it's fascinating. Michael says he was asking Luigi of like, oh my God, like are you being treated like a hero in here? Because that's what people were saying outside. They're like, oh, when Luigi goes to prison, at least he will be treated like a hero. That's what a lot of

his supporters were saying. They hope that the inmates are treating him well. They hope that he's

maybe higher on the jail hierarchy. And Luigi states that Michael is actually one of the very few people
