Summary

Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, is fighting extradition from Pennsylvania to New York.

Arrested Monday with evidence linking him to the crime, Mangione faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder and gun violations.

At his hearing, he shouted accusations of injustice and was denied bail.

His lawyer plans to challenge the detention and has stated Mangione will plead not guilty.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul intends to issue a warrant for extradition, while Pennsylvania prosecutors prioritize transferring Mangione for trial in New York.

This is the corporation that administers the PA DOCs inmate commissary (don't get me started on everything that is philosophically wrong with that sentence; I have a manifesto of my own to write). Mr. Mangione's inmate ID# is QQ7787. The system requests an email address and will likely collect credit card information. I'll try to see later this week if it will accept a burner email and a visa gift card purchased with cash, but my hopes are not high. I will tell you as someone vaguely familiar with the correctional system that in many places conditions are basically unlivable without commissary (again, don't get me started). I also don't know how much they will punitively restrict his access regardless of funds due to the political nature of his alleged crime. If they don't allow privacy for those providing funds I will have to weigh how much I value my own privacy in this current political climate against my continued soft spot for those exposed to the correctional system.

The Privacy app might help in this regard. It allows you to set up temporary credit cards to avoid reoccurring charges and the like.

I wouldn't know which comm to put it in, when I wrote it I just looked for the most recent post about him in c/all.
