Where will Alex Murdaugh go to prison?

On March 2, 2023, after a six-week televised trial, Judge Clifton Newman of the state of South Carolina sentenced Alex Murdaugh to life in prison for the murder of his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and son, Paul Murdaugh. Labeled the 'trial of the century,' the case took nearly two years to finalize and captivated the entire nation. Previously a respected member of a family of top prosecutors, Alex Murdaugh went from the thing he prosecuted to the one being prosecuted when, on June 7, 2021, he shot and killed his wife and son with a shotgun on their sprawling 1,700-acre estate in Islandton, South Carolina.
