Hogan's son wants out of solitary confinement
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - June 3, 2008 Nick Bollea is serving eight months in jail after pleading no
contest to causing a crash that seriously injured his friend. The
17-year-old is being held in solitary confinement at the Pinellas
County Jail's medical ward because he's too young to join the
jail's general population.
But Bollea's lawyers say in a motion filed Friday the situation
is causing him "unbearable anxiety." They say he spends up to 17
hours a day alone in his cell and does not have access to amenities
like educational programs.
They asked a judge to consider alternatives like releasing him
with ankle monitoring until his 18th birthday or moving him to the
jail's minimum-security section.
