Alex Murdaugh has been moved to a protective custody unit to serve his life sentence for the murders of his wife and son.
, the disgraced South Carolina former attorney convicted of killing his wife and son, will serve his life sentence in protective custody, officials said Friday.
Mental health and prison experts determined that Murdaugh should be kept in protective custody after they reviewed his case. A four-member board made the recommendation and Murdaugh was moved to a statewide protective custody unit in a maximum security prison. Alex Murdaugh sentenced to life in prison after conviction in double murder trial during his sentencing at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro on March 3 after he was found guilty on all four counts.
"Inmates in the unit have validated protective concerns and are placed in a specialized unit to separate them from the general population," the South Carolina Department of Corrections said in a news release."Their location is not disclosed for safety and security reasons."Murdaugh will live in an eight-by-ten cell with a bed, toilet and sink, the news release said. Inmates in the segregated unit have all the same privileges as those in general population, officials said.
