- According to various reports, Nick Bollea is finding it hard to adjust to prison life and the bad news is that he still has over seven months before he'll be a free man again. Some inmates apparently made threats towards Nick which forced prison officials to put Nick into isolation. Tampa radio station 933FLZ acquired a tape of one of the calls that Nick did to his mom Linda. "Had I known this, I would have rather gone to trial or I would rather, you know, appeal the case or something. I can't deal with this for eight months. It's like the size of my bathroom," said an emotional Nick. "All you do is sit there and think, and there's nothing to think about," he added, to which his mom replies, "We'll get through it. Prove to everyone you've learned your lesson and be more careful."
