The Hollywood Reporter have stated that Avery is being denied permission to give any interviews by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections.
Joy Staab, the P.R. representative for the prison says, “We are not facilitating interviews out of respect for the victims".
When asked if Avery was notified when reporters have actually requested an interview with him by getting in touch with the prison authorities, Staab replied by saying "nope."
One of Avery's original lawyers, Jerry Buting, says that he’s “never heard that explanation given before" and according to Harvard Law School professor and retired federal judge Nancy Gertner "the prison has a right to exclude cameras from the facility, but not to deny you a visit with a prisoner (for an interview).
Avery is allowed to contact media outlets via the mail though and he used this method recently after he decided to send a letter to local station 'WISN 12 News'. In the letter, Avery asked for permission to be granted an interview on camera.
Avery said that he's willing to tell his side of the story to the TV station, but he's not allowed to speak on camera due to the reasons stated above.
