Brendan Dassey moved to another maximum security prison after success of 'Making a Murderer'

Brendan Dassey, one of the subjects of Netflix’s Making a Murderer, was moved from one prison to another on Wednesday.

Dassey, the nephew of Steven Avery, was moved to a maximum security prison 125 miles away from where he’s served most of his time in jail. He moved from Green Bay Correctional Institution to Columbia Correctional Institution.

According to TMZ, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections was vague on the reasons behind Dassey’s move but sources say it was because of his newfound fame thanks to the Netflix documentary series.

While we know Avery’s request to watch Making a Murderer was denied, Dassey’s lawyer Laura Nirider alluded to the fact that her client hasn’t watched it either.

“Behind the four walls of a prison without, obviously, a Netflix subscription, it’s hard to understand how big Making a Murderer has gotten,” she told Forbes. “He’s understanding it. He is hopeful. He is grateful. He wants his fair shot. That’s all.”
