"Alex Murdaugh's Prison Phone Privileges Revoked Over Lawyer's Documentary Recording"

Alex Murdaugh, a convicted murderer serving a life sentence for killing his wife and son, has lost his phone privileges and prison tablet after his lawyer recorded him reading journal entries for a documentary about his case. The South Carolina Corrections Department prohibits inmates from speaking to the media without permission. In addition to the media interview violation, Murdaugh also violated prison rules by using another inmate's password to make a phone call. These violations resulted in disciplinary actions, including the loss of canteen privileges and the need for permission to obtain another tablet. Murdaugh is expected to plead guilty to charges of stealing millions of dollars from clients and faces numerous other charges in state court.
