Hulk Hogan's 17-year-old son will stay in solitary confinement for
now. A judge on Tuesday denied Nick Bollea's request to change the
conditions of his jail sentence because solitary confinement is causing
him "unbearable anxiety."
Bollea is serving eight months in jail after pleading no contest to causing a crash that seriously injured his friend.
Officials say he is segregated from other inmates in the county jail
in Clearwater because he is a minor, even though he was convicted in
adult court.
On Monday, his attorneys sued the Pinellas County sheriff, accusing jail officials of violating his privacy.
The lawsuit says jailers improperly released to the media recordings
of telephone calls between him and his parents and allowed a news crew
to film them.
