South Carolina killer Susan Smith was disciplined behind bars before her parole hearing

Mother killer Susan Smith has been jailed on a new disciplinary charge after speaking to a documentary filmmaker weeks before her first hearing.

The 53-year-old, who was sentenced to life in prison in 1995 for the murders of her two children, was charged on August 26 with communicating with a victim/and/or witness of a crime and was sentenced on October 3 to Chrysti Shain , director of communications at 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. The filmmaker deposited money into Smith’s account for “Calls and Canteen,” according to the incident report, which redacted the filmmaker’s name.

Under SCDC policy, South Carolina Department of Corrections inmates are not allowed to conduct interviews by phone or in person, but they are allowed to write letters.

Smith will be eligible for parole on November 4, 30 years after she confessed to drowning her two sons, three-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 for a documentary and ways to get paid for it.

They also discussed Smith’s crime in depth and the events leading up to and after it, including details such as “what was in the trunk of the car when it went into the water and her plans to jump off a bridge while holding the boys , only one woke up,” the incident report said.

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

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

“SCDC inmates are provided with tablets that are secured for correctional use. 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 have the opportunity to receive another tablet.”

Smith’s phone conversations with the filmmaker are not the first calls she has made that have attracted attention.

Over the past three years, Smith has courted nearly a dozen suitors over wiretapped prison messages and phone calls. The mail reported.

Criminal defense attorney Philip Holloway previously told Fox News Digital that her chances of parole are “unlikely.”

“I expect she will be denied parole – the facts of this case are horrific,” Holloway said. “I see that she is unlikely to be released into society.”

Whether Smith’s latest conviction will affect her upcoming parole is unknown.
