Nick Bollea, Hulk Hogan's son, who is currently serving a sentence of 8 months in prison for a crash which led to a serious injury of a friend of his, has had about enough of solitary confinement.

The 17-year-old speed lover – according to reports he was racing on a highway when the crash happened – is currently “behind bars” at the Pinellas County Jail's medical ward. He was sent in confinement there because he is too young to join the jail's general population.

His lawyers filed a motion Friday which said that the situation is causing Bollea "unbearable anxiety." The motion says the teenager spends as much as 17 hours a day alone in his cell and could really use some concessions like educational programs.

The lawyers asked the lawmakers via the motion to consider alternatives like the placing on house arrest with ankle monitoring until July 27, the boy’s 18th birthday, or to send him to the prison’s minimum-security section.

The young Bollea has lost about 10 pounds since he was jailed, said his attorney Kevin Hayslett. The teen has not access to a telephone or TV, facilities enjoyed by inmates serving time for similar offenses.

Hayslett wrote in the court documents filed Friday that the situation creates an “unbearable anxiety” for Nick Bollea.

"This sort of confinement, substantially amounts to cruel and unusual punishment for a juvenile and is not warranted for a non-violent first offender serving a probation sentence," the lawyer added according to E! Online.

Nick Hogan’s lawyers also asked the judge to order Pinellas County, Fla. Sheriff Jim Coats to stop releasing any more recorded jail phone calls of the 17-year-old. The Hogan family said the release of taped conversations is a grave violation of their privacy

Hulk Hogan’s son received the 8-month sentence on May 9 after he pleaded no contest to one count of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. The crash caused by Bolleac left his passenger friend severely injured. Bolleac was driving under influence.

Bolleac junior also received five years' probation, 500 hours of community service and a strict order to steer clear of alcohol throughout.

His driving license was revoked for three years and he was ordered to attend DUI school.

The teenager was street racing with his yellow Toyota Supra against a silver Dodge Viper, at speeds of over 60 mph through a 40 mph zone. Unfortunately, he lost control of his car, struck a curb and spun 180 degrees across two lanes of traffic before slamming rear-end first into a palm tree.

His friend, John Graziano, 22, who was on the passenger seat, was left with permanent brain damage.
