Nicolás Maduro, who is in custody in Brooklyn, turned to studying religion and philosophy, writes the New York Times.

According to sources, Maduro spends most of his free time reading the Bible and the Koran. He also met with priests in prison, including a priest and a rabbi. It is worth noting that interest in Judaism appeared precisely after his arrest: Maduro publicly declared his Spanish Jewish origin, although those around him claim that he had not expressed such an interest in the past.

In addition, the 63-year-old Maduro lost weight while in prison, as did his wife Celia Flores. The latter's health is "more precarious" - at the time of her arrest in January, she was recovering from a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus). While she was in custody, she was prescribed nitroglycerin for chest pain - her lawyers believe she may have had a heart attack in July. She also lost two teeth.
