NE Patriots player Aaron Hernandez got a $40 million dollar contract but these days he’s in the Bristol County (MA) House of Correction, accused of murdering his friend Odin Lloyd and suspected of killing others as well. He wasn’t able to watch his former team in the AFC Championship and probably will miss the Super Bowl too (maybe they’ll let him have a radio).
>>Hodgson said this week that Hernandez won’t be able to watch his former teammates play in the AFC Championship game against the Denver Broncos because he isn’t allowed to watch TV at all. The sheriff said on Saturday that Hernandez is kept separated from the other inmates under “special management” because of his fame...Unlike those who have lost their privileges, Hernandez is allowed access to the prison commissary, Hodgson said. But it wouldn’t be safe to have a TV in the unit. “He does get some privileges that the others don’t because he is a pretrial detainee,” Hodgson said. “There are times when he’s asked for a TV. But we can’t have a television in the unit he’s housed in. That would be looked upon by the other individuals in the unit as a special privilege and create animosity.”
