South Carolina murderer Susan Smith was sentenced behind bars ahead of her parole hearing

Murderous mother Susan Smith has been convicted of a new disciplinary charge after speaking to a documentary filmmaker weeks before her first parole hearing.

The 53-year-old, who was sentenced to life in prison in 1995 for murdering her two children, was charged Aug. 26 with communicating with a victim/or witness to a crime and sentenced to Chrysti Shain on Oct. 3. the communications director for the South Carolina Department of Corrections told Fox News Digital.

Smith agreed to provide the filmmaker with contact information for friends, family and victims, including her former husband. According to the incident report, in which the filmmaker's name was redacted, the filmmaker deposited money into Smith's account for “Calls and Canteen.”

Inmates at the South Carolina Department of Corrections are not permitted to conduct telephone or in-person interviews, according to SCDC policy, but are allowed to write letters.

Smith is eligible for parole on Nov. 4, 30 years after she confessed to drowning her two sons, 3-year-old Michael Daniel and 14-month-old Alexander Tyler, in a South Carolina lake.

In their conversations, Smith and the filmmaker discussed conducting an interview and even filming a documentary, as well as ways to get paid for it.

They also discussed Smith's crimes and the events before and after them in detail, including details such as “what was in the trunk of the car when it went into the water and their plans to jump off a bridge while holding the boys, except for.” one.” “I woke up,” the incident report says.

Smith lost her phone, tablet and cafeteria privileges for 90 days starting Oct. 4. The charge is not a criminal one, but rather an internal disciplinary conviction.

It was Smith's first disciplinary action in nearly a decade.

“SCDC inmates receive tablets that are secured for use in the prison system. The tablets can be used to make monitored phone calls and send monitored electronic messages,” Shain said. “They are considered a privilege. The department will determine when and if inmate Smith will be given another opportunity to receive a tablet.”

Smith's phone conversations with the filmmaker aren't the first calls she's made that have drawn attention.

Over the past three years, Smith has courted nearly a dozen applicants through monitored prison messages and phone calls. The post reported.

Defense attorney Philip Holloway previously told Fox News Digital that her chances of early release were “unlikely.”

“I expect she will be denied parole – the facts in this case are terrible,” Holloway said. “I think it is unlikely that she will be released into society.”

Whether Smith's recent conviction affects her upcoming parole is unknown.
