Smoothies, suntanning, pizza parties, music, movies, fitness and facials. Hard time seems to suit murderer Luka Magnotta just fine — at least according to his jailhouse letters.

“Our doors are open 90% of the time so for me I feel like I’m in a university setting,” he wrote in one of many letters to a friend.

Magnotta is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years for killing and hacking up Lin Jun, 33, in Montreal, then mailing his body parts across the country. These days he mails letters, lots of them. “He is a prolific writer of letters to friends,” explains a friend who’s received personal letters and letters he was instructed to put in a stamped envelope and send to others.

In his most recent correspondence to the friend, the 33-year-old killer writes of working seven days in the prison kitchen and then relaxing with art, music, sports and reading.

“I just bought Celine Dion’s album and a lot of others. I have a stereo and a portable for when I suntan outside.”
