[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Nick Reiner is being closely monitored in prison. One week after the tragic murders of Rob and Michele Reiner , we’re hearing an update on Nick’s current condition behind bars. As we’ve been following, the 32-year-old was arrested and charged with two counts of first degree murder in the death of his parents, and was booked without bail into the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles. There, he was placed on suicide watch in the administrative segregation section of the detention center. Days later, he was “ not medically cleared ” to attend court, but ultimately ended up going on Wednesday where he waived his right to “a speedy arraignment.” TMZ previously reported the Being Charlie screenwriter had yet to show any signs of grief as he’s “ in a fog ,” but was described as “calm, cognizant,” but “dazed.” Now, we have another update. On Saturday, a police source informed People the 32-year-old remains on suicide watch and is in solitary confinement after the killings of his parents. According to the source, he’s mandated to wear a blue suicide-prevention smock at all times.

The police source noted he’s been deemed to have a “ mental disability .” “When he arrived at the jail on Dec. 15, mental health staff evaluated him and determined he was at risk. He will remain on suicide watch until a doctor clears him, which could take a long time depending on his mental health ... We can’t put him at risk since he has mental health struggles, and no visitors are allowed.” The officer also shared that Nick was processed into the prison on Monday faster than the average inmate: “There was no delay - he was processed and housed in less than four hours from the moment he entered. Since then, he has been escorted at all times by a sergeant with a video camera.” By noon the day he arrived, he had already been processed in, including an infection screening and a psychological assessment conducted by medical staff: “This process usually takes about 24 hours for an inmate.
