Alexander Brothers’ Prison Kissing Privileges Revealed After Inmate Attack Leaves Them Fearing for Their Safety

The Alexander brothers are reportedly enjoying an unusual level of physical contact during family visits at a New York federal detention center, where they can hug their children and even kiss their wives despite facing decades behind bars.

Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander have each been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison after being convicted of sex-trafficking offenses. However, they are now fighting to remain at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn rather than being transferred to separate facilities.

According to Rabbi Chaim Pollack, a prison chaplain who regularly visits the brothers, their families generally make the journey from Miami to see them around once a week.

Pollack said the facility allows the men to embrace their children and kiss their wives during visits, which can last more than an hour.

The rabbi described how the brothers have been relying on family contact and religious support to cope with their sentences. Alon’s wife recently brought their two young daughters, aged four and six, to visit. Pollack said Alon spent time playing with the children and their toys.

The brothers have also developed a close relationship with a group of Jewish inmates. Pollack estimated that around 30 prisoners participate in shared meals, religious services and Sabbath gatherings. He visits the siblings regularly and helps them with religious and practical matters.

But behind the reported privileges, concerns about their safety have intensified following an incident involving another inmate.

According to people familiar with the situation, Alon and Tal were working on computers in the prison library when an inmate who had allegedly harassed them previously rushed toward the area. A correctional officer intervened and used pepper spray before the inmate could reach the brothers.

Neither brother was reported injured, but the incident reportedly left them shaken. A prison source suggested they may have been targeted for extortion, although that motive has not been officially established.

The brothers’ family representative, Juda Engelmayer, has expressed concern about what could happen when they are transferred to permanent prisons. He said the family believes the siblings may be safer if they remain together.

That position conflicts with the recommendation of U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni, who suggested the brothers should serve their sentences separately, describing them as a negative influence on one another.

Their lawyers had asked the judge to allow them to remain at MDC while pursuing appeals. However, on November 2, the judge rejected the request again, telling the defense to make efficient use of the remaining time. She indicated they could have between 60 and 90 days before being transferred.

The brothers are now reportedly seeking placement in a federal prison in Florida, closer to their families in Miami. Their relatives hope that a location nearer home will make regular visits easier.

The three men were convicted in March 2026 after prosecutors accused them of using their wealth and social connections to lure women to events and sexually assault them. They were each sentenced to 30 years on October 27.

During sentencing, the brothers expressed regret over aspects of their past behavior but continued to deny drugging, raping or trafficking women. Their attorneys are preparing to appeal the convictions.

For now, their future prison placements remain uncertain. The reported library confrontation, the judge’s recommendation that they be separated and their efforts to remain close to family have added another layer to the brothers’ increasingly complicated life behind bars.
