If you don't know the back story to this case, Aaron Hernandez is an Ex-NFL tight end who once played for the New England Patriots. He is now about to serve life in prison for a 1st degree murder charge.
Aaron Hernandez was sentenced to life without parole in Massachusetts' maximum-security prison, The Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center. It is one of the most high-tech jails in the United States with no history of any breakouts. Opening in 1998, it's the states newest prison equipped with 366 cameras recording live all the time and a microwave detection perimeter with taut wire. Leslie Walker, executive director of Prisoners' Legal Services of Massachusetts, says that the prison is one of the nicest, it is very sterile, but inside it is a hostile environment, says that it is very violent and dangerous. Prison safety is very important for the guards. Prison officials will have to be concerned about Hernandez's safety and watch for other inmates who will try to hurt Hernandez because they might have some beef with him. Otherwise, the inmates are locked up in their cells for 19 hours a day with very little to do.
For Aaron Hernandez it sounds like he was on top of the world at one point then with one little slip, he fell to the bottom. He had a $40 million dollar contract, now he is stuck in jail for the rest of his life. It'll be hard for him living there and he's going to have some problems with some inmates because he is a "star." If it is really one of the best maximum security prisons then Hernandez should be fine and not cause too much trouble, and the guards will have to watch for the other inmates trying to get to him. It's good to at least see they are going to take care of him, like they are putting him in a high security prison for the people's safety and his own. Life in prison would be difficult. There is nothing to do in the cell and you are stuck there the whole day except 5 hours, that's tough. At least he'll have a lot of time to think, to think about what he did, and how that changed everything. Good luck Aaron Hernandez, life is a lot different.
