'Making a Murderer' subject Brendan Dassey landed in trouble this year at the prison he is serving a life sentence when officers discovered porn in his cell.

In a DailyMailTV exclusive, prison papers show 29-year-old Dassey, who appears in the Netflix true crime series, has had two run-ins in 2018 with a guard called Officer Bednarek.

On the second occasion, Bednarek busted Dassey for having a fellow inmate's slice of French toast for breakfast.

Brendan Dassey, 29, (above) was convicted for helping his uncle Steven Avery murder photographer Teresa Halbach in Two Rivers, Wisconsin in 2005

Dassey was 16 when he confessed to helping his uncle Steven Avery in the 2005 murder of photographer Teresa Halbach in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. He has no possibility for parole until 2048.

Before Dassey was transferred in 2016 to Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin, its most famous inmate had been serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Dahmer was beaten to death in the prison gym showers there in 1994.

Documents exclusively provided to DailyMailTV by the Wisconsin Department of Correction show Dassey, inmate number 516985, has been given no special treatment by staff.

On March 16 this year, Dassey's cell number 8 in the prison's HU-6 wing, was searched and Officer Bednarek found 'one page of porn'.

Dassey's punishment for breaking rule DOC-303-47 'possession of contraband – miscellaneous' was being denied the use of the prison phone for a week.

While not as severe as many punishments, it would have hurt Dassey who tries to call his mother Barbara Tadych and father Pete Dassey on a daily basis.

Dassey was busted by the same prison guard for having too many slices of French toast for breakfast, the guard suspected the toast was payment for a gambling debt

The same corrections officer caught Dassey for another crime three weeks later, on April 10.

The Adult Conduct Report states: 'On 4/10/18, I, Officer Bednarek was on HU-6 watching AM meal, when I looked at table #4 I saw inmate Dassey, Brendan #516985 seated with 3 French toast on his tray.

'The menu stated inmates were only allowed 2 French toast. Everyone else at the table had 2 French toast, so I know that it was not traded at the table.

'When I asked Dassey where the extra French toast came from he stated 'Buss owed me one'.

'Buss at the time was a unit seven worker. By Dassey stating 'owed me one' it was more likely than not a gambling debt. Capt. Boodry notified.'

Dassey was found not guilty of gambling but having the extra slice of toast meant he broke rule DOC 303-40 'unauthorized transfer of property' and was given another week-long phone ban.

By contrast, prison records also released to DailyMailTV show 56-year-old Steven Avery, who is serving life at Waupun Correctional Institution 50 miles from his nephew, has a spotless disciplinary record since moving there in 2014. He has no chance for parole.

The second season of 'Making A Murderer', which debuted last month, showed how Dassey was pressured by his own lawyer Len Kachinsky to confess to helping Avery kill Halbach.

Kachinsky also left Dassey alone to be interrogated by police while the lawyer carried out duties for the Wisconsin Army Reserve where he was lieutenant colonel.

Dassey's unsuccessful appeal was highlighted in the second season of Netflix true crime series 'Making a Murderer' which debuted last month

Dassey's conviction was overturned in August 2016 by federal magistrate William Duffin who explained Dassey's constitutional rights were violated and Dassey should be freed pending an apperal, citing Kachinsky's conduct as 'indefensible'.

Dassey's release was immediately blocked by the seventh Circuit of Appeals and in December 2017 his original conviction was upheld.

In June 2018, the US Supreme Court refused to hear any further appeal.
