Due to the extraordinary volume of inquiries and outpouring of support, this site was created and is maintained by Luigi Mangione’s New York legal defense team to provide answers to frequently asked questions, accurate information about his cases, and dispel misinformation. The intent is to share factual information regarding the unprecedented, multiple prosecutions against him.

Here is a message from Luigi:

"I am overwhelmed by - and grateful for - everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support. Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC from across the country, and around the globe. While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive. Thank you again to everyone who took the time to write. I look forward to hearing more in the future." -Luigi Mangione

Statements

  • 2.4.25 Statement from a spokesperson for Agnifilo Intrater LLP

    “The Agnifilo Intrater team is pleased to have Avi Moskowitz lend his considerable expertise in death penalty cases to Mr. Mangione’s federal case as ‘learned counsel.’ The charges could not be more serious and our client needs every resource at his disposal to fight these unprecedented charges in three jurisdictions.”

  • 2.4.25 Statement from Karen Friedman Agnifilo

  • From 12.23.24 NYS Supreme Court transcript

    MS. AGNIFILO: First we request immediate expedited discovery in this case. The People have had this case for about almost three weeks and that's more than enough time to gather as much information as they can give to us, especially now that we have two proceedings that we have to answer to, one of them being death-eligible. So we are requesting that we get immediate discovery of all the New York City Police Department and FBI and Federal and State documents.

  • From 12.19.24 SDNY transcript

    MS. FRIEDMAN AGNIFILO: Yes, your Honor. I would like to follow up on what the government just said and seek clarity on exactly what it is that is happening, because this is a highly unusual situation we find ourselves in.

  • 12.18.24 Statement from Karen Friedman Agnifilo

    “The federal government's reported decision to pile on top of an already overcharged first-degree murder and state terror case is highly unusual and raises serious constitutional and statutory double jeopardy concerns. We are ready to fight these charges in whatever court they are brought."

FAQs

This section includes the most common inquiries received by Agnifilo Intrater to date. If you have a question that isn’t covered here, please submit it through the Contact Section. We will do our best to review all submissions and will post additional responses here. We encourage anyone who would like to write to Luigi to refer to the guidelines on the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) and Federal Bureau of Prisons websites to ensure you are following proper procedures.

Please note that the below FAQs are provided merely as guidance and the BOP has discretion to change any of these at any time. Additionally, from time-to-time federal websites referenced below are temporarily unavailable, so these links may not always be operational. We’ll provide updates accordingly as new information becomes available.

Where is Luigi in custody?

Although he is being prosecuted by both New York State and the federal government, Luigi is currently being held in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Can I send mail to Luigi? Can he respond?

According to the Bureau of Prisons website, the "BOP encourages inmates to write to family, friends, and other community contacts to maintain these ties during incarceration. Written correspondence is classified as either general or special mail."

Luigi is allowed to write and receive letters while in custody, following the Federal Bureau of Prisons Program Statement No. 5800.16 (Mail Management Manual) and Program Statement No. 5265.11 (Correspondence). Due to the volume of mail, letters could take longer than usual to be screened and delivered. Please note that every letter that is received or sent is screened and reviewed by law enforcement. All mail that is in accordance with BOP policies and procedures should be addressed to:

Luigi Mangione (52503-511)
MDC Brooklyn
METROPOLITAN DETENTION CENTER
P.O. BOX 329002
BROOKLYN, NY 11232

Because Luigi receives photocopied versions of letters sent to him, we recommend anyone sending a letter to please date and number the pages. Please also make sure the letter being sent has large margins, because the edges of pages may be omitted when letters are photocopied.

Are there any restrictions on Luigi’s mail? I sent a letter to him and it was marked "return to sender."

According to BOP policies, if a letter is addressed incorrectly, it will be returned. If a letter is sent without a return address, it will not be delivered. The return address must appear in the upper left corner of the envelope and contain a fully spelled out first name, last name, and address. The letter should be signed by the sender with their name printed below their signature. If something in the letter was included that is considered to be against Federal Bureau of Prisons’ policies, it may be returned or will not reach the recipient.

May I send him items like books?

Due to the overwhelming generosity of members of the public, numerous books have already been mailed to Luigi. He is very appreciative, but kindly asks that people temporarily refrain from sending more books. The number of books he can possess at any given time is limited. According to BOP Program Statement 5580.08 (Inmate Personal Property), the limits are:

  • Books (5)
  • Photo Album / Scrap book (1)
  • Photos 4x6 single-sided (25)

Please note that wardens have discretion to adjust these limits.

Can I send Luigi photos?

Luigi is allowed to receive photos via Shutterfly and FreePrints in accordance with mail procedures while in custody, following the Federal Bureau of Prisons Program Statement No. 5800.16 (Mail Management Manual) and Program Statement No. 5265.11 (Correspondence). Due to the volume of photos, they could take longer than usual to be screened and shared. Luigi appreciates the photos that are sent and kindly asks that people send no more than five photos at a time. Please note that every photo that is received is screened and reviewed by law enforcement.
