After Louisiana State Penitentiary inmate Derrick Todd Lee released artwork and a personal letter for sale on a “murderabilia” website, officials at the prison are questioning whether Lee violated penitentiary rules by seeking profit for his work.
Lee was linked to the deaths of seven women in Louisiana and convicted of murder on Oct. 14, 2004. He received a death-penalty sentence and is currently on death row at the state penitentiary in Angola, La.
During his time on death row, Lee has been working on art projects, which he is attempting to sell online for crime enthusiasts everywhere.
