Sounds like Perry's up to his old shenanigans again!

"Former Nashville lawyer Perry March was moved to a maximum-security prison after becoming the subject of an investigation by officers from the Tennessee Department of Correction, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Prison officials refused to disclose the nature of the offense for which March, 46, is being investigated but said he is being held in administrative segregation for 30 days.
Administrative segregation is a more restrictive housing in which inmates have fewer privileges than in the general prison population.
"The placement is for the protection of the institution and other inmates and the community until the decision is made to move him from administrative segregation," said Dorinda Carter, a department spokeswoman.
March is serving a 56-year sentence for killing his wife, stealing from his former law firm and plotting from his Metro Jail cell the killing-for-hire of his former in-laws, Lawrence and Carolyn Levine.
March had been held at the Northwest Correctional Complex, a minimum- and medium-security facility in the far northwest corner of the state. On March 2, he was moved to the maximum-security West Tennessee State Penitentiary near Memphis, after being upgraded to a maximum-security prisoner.
"All I can say is there were concerns of the security of the institution," Carter said. "There's still an investigation going on, so I can't say much more than that."
Prisoners on administrative segregation are isolated from other inmates and required to eat their meals in their cells, where they spend 23 hours a day. They get one hour of recreation daily.
Carter said she did not know how long the investigation would take.
March's lawyer, John Herbison of Nashville, scoffed at allegations that March might have caused trouble in prison.
"It's really ridiculous to suppose that he poses a threat to the institution or the community. It's not as if he has a lot of resources at his disposal," he said.
He said that his client was abruptly moved from one prison to the other and that it was March who had been threatened at his new lockup.
"There is some real concern for his safety at the institution he's been moved to," Herbison said. "Apparently some inmates who appear to be affiliated with the Aryan Nation are unhappy about having a Jewish inmate."
The Aryan Nation is a white supremacist group in the U.S. with numerous members in the nation's prisons.
Carter, the corrections spokeswoman, said she was not aware of threats to March.
"We haven't been given any information that would make us think that he's been threatened," she said.
Janet March, a Nashville illustrator and artist, disappeared in August of 1996. March left the city with the couple's two children, first for Chicago and then for Mexico. In 2005, he was arrested in Mexico and charged with his wife's murder.
While being held in Nashville's Metro Jail awaiting trial, March orchestrated an unsuccessful plot to kill his missing wife's parents, who had campaigned for his prosecution. The plot failed after the fellow inmate March tried to hire to do the killings instead went to authorities.
March was convicted of the crimes last year."
