Fellow jailbird dishes on Luigi Mangione’s job, daily routine and demeanor inside Brooklyn jail

Luigi Mangione’s job in federal lockup is cleaning showers — and he’s a one-man welcoming committee, according to a fellow jailbird.

When Michael Daddea arrived at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, a guard told him he would be housed in the same unit as the accused assassin of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, he revealed in a video posted to X.

“I’m like, ‘Yeah, he’s being a wise ass’. . . I look out the cell, Luigi is standing there and he’s like, ‘Hey, how’s it going?’ Like, super nice. Introduced himself to me first thing. I’ve literally – I’ve been in the unit for 10 minutes,” Daddea, 29, recalled in the June 7 clip, which amassed over 80,000 views before it was deleted from his profile this week.

It's an honor to meet this POS? 🙄

Federal jailbirds have X accounts that they can post videos to?

If an individual could get 15 seconds of their life back and do things over, the prisons would be 85% empty. Wonder if Luigi realizes just how stupid he was.

That sounds good to ears, but my experience is most would focus on how not to get caught. Not to change their lives. Note I said most, not all.

The Post is trying to humanize this sub-human.

That doesn't really reflect the recidivism rate we suffer with. Look at the blown second chances by those let off lightly.

Oh gosh, a puff piece on the kinder, gentler murderer next door.

“Super nice.”

Brian Thompson would probably disagree, but unfortunately he was unavailable for comment.

When his name stops being relevant in the ‘New Yorker’ and other pages, yes he will finally regret it. For now, he gets his dopamine hits from that and those who shake his hand saying “it’s an honor to meet you”.

“””That doesn’t really reflect the recidivism rate we suffer with. Look at the blown second chances by those let off lightly. “””

I worked with a lot of guys who had done time. Some saw the error of their ways and truly wanted to change their lifestyle. A lot of them had never known any different way to live other than crime. It was just what you did.

To others, prison was just part of the thug life. Serving time was a badge of honor.

Luigi's positive attitude is due to several factors. He gets fan letters every day by the bagful. He's thinking that he'll get, at the minimum, a nullified jury in New York and he'll be on his way.

He might be right.

Many patients who were illegally denied treatment were unavailable for comment as well.

The State needs Luigi Mangione to take a plea deal because they can’t have the trial expose just how corrupt the healthcare industry is.

Well, look at him. The hand and throat tats would suggest some issues with judgment and discernment

So glad to see, per the article, that Mangione is a fellow practicing Catholic. He seems to have missed the part of the catechism that discourages gunning other people down in the street.

I assume you’re not a lawyer. Still, even as a layman, you don’t really expect a judge to determine that the defense of “he had it coming” will be allowed to be presented. do you? Not only is it not relevant, but the notion that it’s ok to gun somebody down because he was (purportedly) the head of a predatory company is so outrageous, the defense will not even want to offer it

The article says he’s a “model prisoner.” Good. That doesn’t mean that he shouldn’t do a lot of time for killing someone. Some people turn their lives around in prison. Maybe he will be one of them.

The defense is going to present their client as someone who suffered incredibly debilitating pain for years and ask the jury to relate to all the treatment they were denied as well as the treatment denied to loved ones. The State needs him to take a plea bargain to prevent that.

Sounds like it must be lovely meeting such a nice cold blooded murderer. Truman Capote really liked it too.

Nope. Been a lawyer for over 30 years. Ban on it. A desire for revenge is not a permissible defense. Even if that weren’t the case, no mention of his own circumstances in his journals. I hope the Feds succeed in frying the little bastard
