The death of Rob and Michele Reiner rocked the entertainment industry, and went especially viral since the apparent homicide was seemingly perpetrated by their son Nick. Reiner would have been 79 this week, which has put even more eyes on what's happening with Nick. An anonymous source revealed what it's like in prison for him, and it's not exactly a pretty picture.
Shortly after their deaths, tributes to the Reiners started rolling in. And in the month that followed, fans have been paying attention to the legal process their son Nick is going through for allegedly killing his parents. An anonymous insider recently spoke to The Daily Mail about the conditions he's seemingly living in. They spoke about the food in the Los Angeles prison, claiming:
The food is not that good, but that is the way jail food is – lots of mystery meat. It is tasteless, but at least there are no bugs in it. And there is no metal silverware because it can be used as a weapon. So only plastic sporks - like a spoon and fork combo - are used.
Silverware isn't the only way that Nick Reiner's reportedly being protected from harm. According to Former LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, he's in "administrative segregation", which is meant to keep him safe from both other inmates and himself. This limits everything from his uniform to the way he's able to interact with others. There were previously reports thats Nick was was struggling mentally in prison, and per these insider he's being monitored to ensure he can't harm himself.
The same anonymous insider spoke more about how Reiner is reportedly being handled while incarcerated ahead of his forthcoming trial. They claimed:
He will see guards and the psychiatrists that talk to him, but when he does, he will be handcuffed and watched. He is high risk, so many precautions will be taken. He is restricted, there is zero freedom.
Nick Reiner was arrested shortly after his parents' deaths, and has been incarcerated ever since. He's been reportedly struggling mentally, both before and after being taken in. And if the anonymous source is to be believed, he hasn't gotten any real visitors. They said:
It appears only his attorney has visited at this time.
Of course, Nick hasn't necessarily had an easy time when it comes to legal representation. Specifically because one of Reiner's lawyers stepped down back in January.
So what is it like being imprisoned for so long? Per the same source, the most challenging part of being in mental observation housing is the fellow inmates. They claim:
They constantly scream night and day - they don't shut up. There is no mute button. They don't know what they are saying or doing. The noise really gets to you, it rocks your nervous system because it's weird, like howling and all the profanity and sick sex talk. It's not good.
That certainly sounds like exhausting, especially if Reiner is also struggling with his mental health. Overall these claims don't paint a pretty picture about what Nick's life is like in prison. We'll just have to wait for his impending trial, and see how long he ends up staying in that specific unit.
