The staff at the jail where NFL star Aaron Hernandez, who has been charged with murdering another American footballer, has been incarcerated, has been warned not to treat Hernandez like a celebrity.

According to TMZ.com, the Bristol County Sheriff has issued a warning to all staff members of the Bristol County House of Corrections against taking photos or seeking autographs from the county's most famous alleged murderer.

The report further said that jail staffers have been instructed to treat Hernandez like any other prisoner there and gave him the same food, privileges and other things that the other prisoners receive.

Any staffer violating the rule is subject to discipline ranging from an admonition to outright termination, the report further said.

The report also said that Hernandez is not acting like a prima donna athlete so far, adding that he has made no requests for anything special.
