Nick Hogan files motion for home confinement till 18, and to supress phone conversations

Nick Hogan through his lawyer, has asked the court today to transfer him from solitary confinement to monitored home confinement until he turns 18 in July (on the 27th). Nick isn’t old enough for the jail’s minimum-security area, so despite his status as a non-violent, first-time offender with no juvenile record he’s complaining it’s unfair for him to be put in a small cell for 16 to 17 hours a day. Seriously, though avoiding the main prison population seems like a good idea to Hot Momma.

His lawyers said that Nick’s “current confinement is neither fair nor acceptable and creates a mental and physical health risk to a seventeen year old.“

Once he turns 18 Nick’s willing to serve his sentence in minimum-security but until then his lawyer wants his client to serve the sentence under house arrest . So that’s like a 8-week respite from solitary confinement. He may find that to be a picnic once he’s in among the prison population minimum-security or not. But Nick doesn’t like being by himself.

The motion also complains that Hogan’s phone conversations with his parents have been recorded and released to the media:

“The result has been a media blitz with a local and national media frenzy which is unprecedented and has resulted in unspeakable harm to Nicholas Bollea and his family.”

I am really supportive of this motion.  I get that prison’s need to record conversations between prisoners and visitors for security.  But how these recording have ended up in the hands of TMZ (who I generally admire) is beyond me.  That is just so wrong and why there isn’t a criminal investigation as to who is leaking these tapes is beyond me.
