Man Who Killed People Like "Dexter", Allowed To Watch "Dexter" Behind Bars

Would-be serial killer Mark Twitchell has been given unlimited access to the blood-soaked television series that inspired his killing, despite being held in one of the country’s highest-security prisons.

The 33-year-old former Edmonton filmmaker, who modelled the luring, murder and dismemberment of a complete stranger on the Dexter TV series, is continuing to watch the ultra-violent program inside the maximum security wing of Saskatchewan Penitentiary.

A National Post investigation has found that while Twitchell was prevented from watching the show while awaiting trial in the Edmonton Remand Centre, he has not faced similar restrictions at the federal prison.

I would think anyone he comes into contact with, namely guards, would be very cautious around him.
