They put him in a freaking turtle suit!?!

That's suicide prevention clothing in jails... Dude probably doesn't even have a mattress. It's likely that the only things in his cell are him, the turtle suit, and maaaaybe a bible.

They're called turtle suits because jails are actually pretty cold. Not dangerously so but just cold enough to be uncomfortable. If you're wearing one you're on suicide watch and they don't let you have anything else in your cell. No blankets, mattress, books, underwear, or anything. The only real way to get warm is to get into a fetal position inside of the turtle suit. Like a turtle.

I got a surprise suicide booking in a jail way back by a cop who didn't like me. Kept me in there for 2 weeks with zero human contact. They wouldn't even say your welcome when I thanked them for my food. Found out when I got out that they were telling the court that I wasn't mentally suitable for court.

You lose your mind very quickly in those conditions.... My paranoia is telling me that they definitely want that....
