What Alex Murdaugh's Life In Prison Is Really Like

Following his sentencing, Alex Murdaugh was moved to a maximum-security prison in South Carolina, under protective custody. And much like his life before jail, Murdaugh seems to be running the show.

One of Murdaugh’s ex-fellow inmates, who chose to remain anonymous, revealed to 11Alive News that the former lawyer was treated like royalty. He said, “You would not believe the way they treat this guy.” The source revealed how Murdaugh seems to be using his high status to his benefit. They said, “[Murdaugh] gets up in the morning and plays chess for a couple hours with an inmate, then he has a guy who does his laundry. I mean, everyone caters to him.” The former lawyer reportedly even trades legal advice to other inmates in exchange for something he wants. The source explained, “He does legal work for the guy who makes the wine in the dorm.”

It’s not just inside that Murdaugh is getting treated well. Many women have supposedly sent the public figures letters while he is in prison. Murdaugh’s lawyer seemed to confirm this by reading one of the letters to Fox News (via Daily Mail). A woman named Nicolette wrote to Murdaugh, saying, “I think I love you” and “I think about you all day, every day.” Although it’s much different than his family home in South Carolina, prison doesn’t seem too terrible for the former lawyer.
