Alex Murdaugh is a 'celebrity of sorts' in prison who passes the time playing checkers with his fellow inmates — many of whom are convicted sex offenders, his lawyer said.
There is also a small courtyard for fresh air, and they each have a tablet that can be used for phone calls, emails and limited internet access.
However, he may face potential trouble inside the prison walls. Corrections officials told Griffin that some inmates had posted menacing TikTok videos using contraband cellphones threatening physical harm to Murdaugh if they see him in the yard. The South Carolina Department of Corrections made the protective custody decision, but the designation will be reviewed in 90 days. In protective custody, Murdaugh cannot take advantage of the facility's programs, which include producing upholstered furniture and powder coating metal products at the prison's own factory.
