History of LA Jail where Nick Reiner is being held
Page Six has reported that Twin Towers Correctional Facility, which is a mental health jail, once housed A-listers from Paris Hilton to Harvey Weinstein.
For a short period of time, Hilton had served time at the facility back in 2007 during her 45-day sentence for violating probation on alcohol-related reckless driving charges from 2006, as per multiple outlets reported at the time.
As for Weinstein, he was transferred from Wende Correctional Facility in New York to the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in July 2021 to face additional charges of sexual harassment.
Michael Jackson’s doctor Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson’s passing and sentenced to four years behind bars, also temporarily stayed at the jail before being transferred to other facilities.
Other famous faces who had brief stints at Twin Towers include actor Robert Downey Jr., “Jackass” star Steve-O, convicted murderer Robert Durst, rapper The Game and other stars.
However, the jail’s star-studded history doesn’t mean the facility has luxurious accommodations, as Twin Towers has been accused of harsh conditions.
Beverly Hills Defense Attorney Adam Michael Sacks told Page Six, “You don’t want to be there, it’s disgusting. Every client I went to visit begged for bail.”
As for the food, Sacks described it as “slop.”
“The food is disgusting,” he added. “It makes cafeteria food look good.”
Sheriff’s deputies have also shut off water to cells, including drinking water, when toilets are intentionally flooded, inspection findings claim.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County, Sheriff’s Department and Correctional Health Services regarding the alleged “inhumane” conditions in September.
