One is the Loneliest Number for Hulk Hogan's Son

Nick Bollea, son of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, is not too happy with solitary confinement. The 17-year-old's lawyers said in a motion filed Friday that the isolation is causing him "unbearable anxiety."

He spends up to 17 hours a day alone in his cell, and does not have access to amenities like educational programs.

Bollea is being held in solitary confinement in Pinellas County Jail's medical ward because he is too young to be in main holding. He is serving eight months after pleading no contest to reckless driving and causing a crash that seriously injured his friend.

His lawyers asked the judge to consider alternatives to isolation such as releasing him with ankle monitoring until he turns 18, or placing him in minimum security.
