Nick Hogan to Remain in Solitary Confinement
A Florida judge refused Tuesday to release Hulk Hogan's son from solitary confinement, where the teen is serving a sentence for felony reckless driving.
In a three-sentence order, Judge Philip J. Federico denied a motion filed Monday by attorneys for Nick Bollea, 17, claiming the confinement was "cruel and unusual punishment."
The judge did not disclose his reasons for the decision. But a court spokesman says the judge studied the motion looking for legal issues to be argued.
"Had there been a need for such arguments, a hearing would have been scheduled," court public information officer Ron Stuart said, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
Bollea is housed in solitary at Pinellas County Jail because as a minor he can't be released into the adult population.
His attorneys say he's spending 16 to 17 hours a day in the maximum-security cell where his food is delivered through a slot in the door, causing him "unbearable anxiety." Bollea requested a transfer to monitored home confinement or the minimum-security area.
Bollea, who is also suing the sheriff's office for releasing tapes of his jail conversations, was sentenced last month after pleading no contest to charges stemming from a car crash that left his best friend, John Graziano, in critical condition.

Well, he'll be 18 soon, he can get out of solitary confinement then. 
Although I am in total agreement about the release of the tapes from the visit with his parents. That was messed up!

Re: Nick Hogan to Remain in Solitary Confinement
Why isn't he in a juvenile detention center if he's a minor?
I don't think solitary confinement is fair for him.

Their stating he is too old for Juvenile detention but too young for the adult section. Solitary was the only place they could put him.
I am glad they kept him in the jail. A lot of these "celebs" all they want is house confinement or house monitoring. You do the crime you do the time.

Re: Nick Hogan to Remain in Solitary Confinement
Today on Howard Stern they played the tapes of his conversation with Hulk. They were talking in wrestling code. Who knew that existed? 
Do your time, Nick, and stop b*tching!

Re: Nick Hogan to Remain in Solitary Confinement
why is he in solitary though? I thought that was for serial killers and stuff like that  Is it just to make it a severe punishment? I'm just wondering.

Melissa explained it above...
He's too young for the general/adult population of the jail but too old for juvenile detention.
It's for his safety & protection.
eta...he is limited to his cell 16-17 hours a day which gives him 7-8 hours of time away from it - that's a decent portion of the day since you figure it's lights out for 8 hours. I believe true solitary confinement is 23 hours a day.

This can't be the first time this has come up. I'm surprised there isn't some other solution for this.
