The disgraced South Carolina prosecutor Lex Murdaugh, who was convicted of killing his wife and kid, was taken into custody Friday night and lodged in the Kirkland Reception and Evaluation Center.
The most recent mugshot of the 54-year-old, who had just been given a double life sentence, showed him totally shaven and dressed in a yellow jumpsuit.
A South Carolina Department of Corrections source informed Fox News Digital that he would initially be detained in a single cell.
The source said he would be evaluated, and we would decide on his permanent location, adding that haircuts are common practice.
Murdaugh will spend the next 45 days in the Kirkland Reception and Evaluation Center, a maximum-security, level-three institution for male offenders in the city of Columbia.
The prison’s website claims that some of the state’s most violent and dangerous criminals are housed there.
The SCDC stated in a statement that Murdaugh will spend the following 45 days in this location through the inmate intake procedure, which entails medical examinations, mental health evaluations, and educational evaluations.
According to the SCDC, before the state department decides which one of the state’s maximum-security prisons he will carry out his double life sentence, Corrections will gather further important data. According to the SCDC, Corrections will collect further essential information before the state agency chooses in which of the state’s maximum-security prisons he would serve out his double life sentence.
