The Los Angeles prison where Nick Reiner is being held on two counts of first-degree murder has a star-studded history known for its harsh conditions.
On Page 6, you’ll find Twin Towers Correctional Facility, a mental health prison that once housed A-listers from Paris Hilton to Harvey Weinstein.
Hilton served a short time at the facility in 2007, when he was serving a 45-day sentence for violating probation on an alcohol-related reckless driving charge from 2006, multiple media outlets reported at the time.
Weinstein was transferred from New York’s Wende Correctional Facility to Twin Towers Correctional Facility in July 2021 on additional charges of sexual harassment.
Michael Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray, who was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison for the King of Pop’s 2009 death, remained in prison temporarily until he was transferred to another facility.
Other celebrities who briefly stayed at the Twin Towers include actor Robert Downey Jr., “Jackass” star Steve-O, convicted murderer Robert Durst, rapper The Game, and other stars.
But the prison’s star-studded history doesn’t mean the facility has lavish amenities, as the Twin Towers has been criticized for harsh conditions.
Beverly Hills Public Defender Adam Michael Sachs exclusively told Page Six, “You don’t want to be there. It’s disgusting. Every client I’ve visited has begged for bail.”
As for the food, Sacks described it as “terrible”.
“The food is bad,” he added. “The food in the cafeteria looks delicious.”
The New York Post detailed the harsh conditions inside the facility through inspection reports and court filings.
County commissioners claimed the cells had feces on the walls, urine on the floor and concrete walls covered in graffiti, according to the newspaper.
If the toilet was intentionally flooded, sheriff’s deputies shut off water to the cell, including drinking water, according to test results.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit in September against Los Angeles County, the Sheriff’s Department and Correctional Health Services, alleging “inhumane” conditions.
The lawsuit alleges that the twin towers have mold and rust, the homes are infested with rats and the showers are infested with black bugs.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department told the Post that despite the claims, $309 million has been spent on upgrades, including hiring staff, repairing infrastructure and other improvements.
Twin Towers Correctional Facility did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
On the afternoon of December 14th, Rob, 78, and Michelle, 70, were found stabbed to death in their home in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
Death certificates released Tuesday said Rob and Michelle died within “minutes” of “multiple sharp wounds” caused by “another person’s knife.”
Officials told the Post that Nick was initially considered a person of interest in the stabbing.
Nick fled the scene and was arrested later that night in connection with the murder.
The “Being Charlie” co-writer has been formally charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his parents.
He has been placed on suicide watch, law enforcement sources told TMZ, and is scheduled to return to court for arraignment on January 7, 2026.
