Tom Silvagni is currently facing the harsh reality of life inside a maximum-security prison.
But if new reports are to be believed, he has no intention of staying there.
Inside sources from the correctional facility have leaked disturbing details about a new, bizarre strategy being employed by the disgraced son of the AFL legend.
Guards suspect that Silvagni is not losing his mind. He is rehearsing a role.
The allegation is simple but sickening: Tom is faking a severe psychotic breakdown to secure a transfer to the Thomas Embling Hospital.
This psychiatric facility is known for being far more comfortable, with better food, softer beds, and less violence than general population.
"It started on Tuesday night," a senior corrections officer told our investigation team.
"He began screaming at invisible people. But it felt forced. It felt like bad acting."
The suspicion grew when a night-shift guard conducted a routine check at 3:00 AM.
The guard claims he peered through the viewing slot and saw Tom sitting on his bunk, perfectly calm.
Tom was allegedly holding a small piece of soap, rubbing it vigorously against his teeth and gums.
Moments later, he threw himself onto the floor, shaking violently and letting the soapy saliva foam out of his mouth.
He began howling, waiting for the alarm to be raised.
"He checked his watch before he started," the guard revealed.
"He waited exactly for the shift change, when he knew the less experienced staff would be on duty."
This "performance" is believed to be part of a desperate legal maneuver known as the "Insanity Hail Mary."
Rumors suggest that high-priced consultants have advised him that serving time in a mental health ward is his only ticket to survival.
They are allegedly coaching him on the specific symptoms of schizophrenia to mimic for the prison psychologists.
But the staff aren't buying it.
They see a manipulative young man who thinks he can outsmart the system with a bar of soap and a few fake screams.
He wants the world to pity him as a broken soul.
But behind the cell door, the mask slips, and the calculation is revealed.
He isn't mad. He is just terrified of the consequences of his own actions.
And he will do anything—even humiliate himself—to escape them.
THE SHOCKING FINAL DETAIL: During a surprise shakedown of his cell yesterday morning, officers allegedly found a torn piece of notebook paper hidden inside his pillowcase. It wasn't a diary. It was a script. Written in shaky handwriting were the instructions: "Stage 1: The staring. Stage 2: The voices. Stage 3: The seizure (use soap). DO NOT BREAK CHARACTER."
