    “I Think about You All Day”: Alex Murdaugh Already Getting Prison Love Letters

    Convicted murderer and disgraces South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh is already receiving letters in prison. Particularly, he’s received love letters from obsessed fans of his, which is particularly shocking given that he’s been convicted of killing his wife. PEOPLE, for example, reported

    “I think I love you,” a person named Nicollete K. reportedly wrote to Murdaugh on March 12, 2023, while Murdaugh was being held at the Kirkland Correctional Institution in Columbia, S.C. “I think about you all day everyday. I swear on my life I’ll never say a single word to anyone important or not important. I genuinely care for you.”

    Further, PEOPLE also reports that a “March 12 message from a woman named Lacie K. reads, ‘I am just a small town girl from Missouri,” according to FITSNews. “I am here if you want to talk. Or vent. XXLacie.‘”
    Still another letter from a woman named Destiny H reads: “You didn’t kill your family, somebody else did and you don’t wanna tell it. I give you all the love for not snitching but then again, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do for your freedom.”
    Another letter said, “I swear on my life and on my soul I’ll never say a single word to anyone important or not important. I genuinely care for you.“
    In addition to love letters, Murduagh got a message from Netflix producer Mike Gasparino that said,  “We feel at this point its [sic] very important to have your voice in the remember (sic) of our series. Our first 3 Episodes was (sic) viewed by 40 million households and also 75 million hours watched in just 10 days. Those numbers will continue to rise. We believe you can have the largest platform on TV if you are willing to speak to us.“
    His lawyer, Jim Griffin, said that despite the letters Murdaugh has no girlfriend in or out of prison. “He has no girlfriend in prison, out of prison, anywhere,” Griffin said. “He’s received messages, letters and a lot of support. To my knowledge he has not responded to any of them. He’s also received unsolicited contributions to his canteen account.“
    PEOPLE, describing the shocking murders of his wife and son for which Alex Murdaugh was convicted, said:

    The deadly shooting happened on June 7, 2021, near the dog kennels of the family’s 1,770-acre hunting estate. Authorities said Murdaugh killed his wife and son as personal and financial struggles became overwhelming.

    Paul was shot in the chest and head with a shotgun at close range. Maggie was shot multiple times, including one shot in the back and additional shots while she was lying on the ground. She had been shot with 300 Blackout ammo from an AR-style rifle. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

    During the trial, prosecutors played a video from Paul’s phone that placed Murdaugh at the murder scene on the night of the killings, Murdaugh admitted on the stand to lying to authorities about his whereabouts that night and his surviving son Buster took the stand in his father’s defense.

    Since his conviction, Murdaugh has been moved to protective custody, as the South Carolina Department of Corrections said in a press release. In its words:

    Inmate Richard Alexander Murdaugh’s reception and evaluation process is complete,
    and he has been moved to the statewide protective custody unit of a South Carolina maximum-security
    prison.

    SCDC’s Protective Custody Review Board met Thursday and made a recommendation of statewide
    protective custody classification for inmate Murdaugh. The four-member board includes SCDC security,
    mental health and classification experts.

    Inmates in this unit have validated protective concerns and are placed in a specialized unit to separate
    them from the general population. Their location is not disclosed for safety and security reasons. This
    unit has 28 inmates currently.

    Murdaugh will be in a single eight by ten cell that contains a bed, toilet and sink. Inmates in this unit
    receive all privileges afforded those in the general population inside this self-contained unit.
