Aaron Hernandez In Jail: Inmates and Prison Guards Warned No Pictures, Photos or Autographs, Staff Could Be Fired For Special Treatment

Jul 01, 2013 03:51 PM EDT

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is facing life in prison and is currently in the Bristol County House of Corrections and based on the rules laid out, Hernandez won't be getting any special treatment from the guards or the inmates.

According to ESPN.com, any staff or inmates that ask for autographs or pictures with Hernandez could face punishment, including outright termination for some of the staff if they don't comply. Hernandez has not received any special treatment leading into him getting arrested, as the police did not allow him to turn himself in and the judge did not approve bail for the charged murderer.

Hernandez was held in a single cell over the weekend and he is allowed out for one hour per day while in lockup. Inmates are not allowed to ask for pictures and any guards that do so could end up with a bit of a punishment. Reports say that Hernandez has been well behaved so far and while his situation is much different than when he was at home last week, he has no choice but to remain behind bars.
