Nick Reiner ‘rapidly deteriorating’ in LA prison with shaved head to ‘keep the bugs out’: report

Nick Reiner has reportedly been “rapidly deteriorating” during his several-month-long stay in a Los Angeles jail.

A source close to the Reiner family told the Daily Mail that Nick “no longer looks like Nick.”

“No one would recognize him,” they said. “He is almost bald because they have to keep his hair super short to keep the bugs out, and he is super skinny because of the intense medication he is on. His eyes are very sunken in.”

Nick has taken up residence in Twin Towers Correctional Facility since he allegedly killed famous parents director Rob and his mother Michelle Reiner last December. He’s spent 5 months in solitary confinement within the jail’s mental health unit. His cell is just 7 ft by 10 ft.

The 8-month stay has weakened him mentally and physically. He already had mental health concerns after he was first seen in court last year wearing a suicide vest.

“Nick has not been well for many years, but before jail some of his personality could be recognized. Not now. He is like a babbling child, totally out of it,” the source said. “It’s so bad his lawyers have a hard time talking to him.”

The Daily Mail’s source added that Nick’s siblings, brother Jake and sister Romy, worry he “will never be sane again and that he could possibly die as his heart could weaken from the constant strain.”

Twin Towers Correctional Facility is located in downtown Los Angeles, and local law enforcement has touted it as “the world’s largest jail as well as the nation’s largest mental health facility.”

A former inmate described the jail’s horrific conditions to the outlet.

“The noise really gets to you, it rocks your nervous system because it’s weird, like howling and all the profanity and sick sex talk,” they told the Daily Mail. “It’s not good.”

In his last court appearance in April, Nick appeared to have lost weight and looked to be aware of the proceedings.

Nick Reiner’s next court date is set for September 15.
