NATION IN BRIEF : WISCONSIN : Dahmer Watched After Blade Is Found
Serial killer Jeffrey L. Dahmer was placed under 24-hour surveillance for trying to conceal a razor blade in his cell, prison officials said. Dahmer also was moved to a different cell and lost his television and canteen shopping privileges at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wis. The blade was found in waste paper after a guard noticed it missing. Dahmer reportedly told the guard he didn’t know what happened to the blade, then said it had been flushed down a toilet. Dahmer, 31, is serving 15 life terms for killing and dismembering 15 young men.
