Some jails offer tablets to every inmate, so this isn't an unreasonable request to make at all. Locked down tablets with walled garden internet access, of course, but still better than nothing.

A laptop at the facility is not entirely uncommon, according to Sam Mangel, prison consultant currently working with other inmates at the same facility hosting Mangione.

Mangel echoed the defense's note in the filing that other prisoners have access to laptops, which are disconnected from the internet to comply with federal prison regulations.

"There's a procedure for doing this, but it is not difficult," Mangel tells PEOPLE.
