"Luigi's conditions suck!:" Luigi Mangione's fellow inmates yell to NewsNation about his prison conditions.

The fellow inmates of UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting suspect Luigi Mangione on Wednesday yelled out against the alleged poor conditions of the Pennsylvania prison where Mangione is being held.

"Luigi's conditions suck!" an inmate could be heard screaming to NewsNation reporter Alex Caprariello, who was reporting from the State Correctional Institution Huntingdon in Pennsylvania.

Other messages yelled to NewsNation included "Free Luigi!"

NewsNation reported that the inmates said Mangione's cell doesn't have a TV and recommended the shooting suspect waive his challenge against being extradited to New York. The inmates told NewsNation that he should be transferred to the Rikers Island jail complex in New York City.

Mangione was arrested on Monday at a local McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, following a tip from an employee of the restaurant. On Tuesday afternoon at a Pennsylvania courthouse, Mangione decided to fight is extradition to New York, where he is charged with murder. This process may potentially last weeks. He was denied bail.
