Controversial Actions of Prison Officials and Judges in South Carolina

A former prison guard, Asia Love, who is named in documents detailing a convicted killer's early release, tried to visit him in prison after retiring, posing as his sister, but her request was denied. Love is mentioned in additional supporting documents related to the killer's release, and in 2019, she wrote that Officer Sally Fowler wanted the killer to "receive an award" for "saving her life." The killer helped the Department of Corrections by putting them on "notice" about a dangerous inmate who had escaped. The state attorney general is asking the South Carolina Supreme Court for a bench warrant to put the killer back in prison.
