Good behavior has earned BTK serial killer Dennis Rader the right to watch television, listen to the radio, read and draw in his Kansas prison cell.

Prosecutors had sought restrictions on such activities, saying they would allow Rader to relive his grisly, sex-fueled fantasies through images of women and children and written and broadcast accounts of his murders. But Rader earned the privileges through the Department of Corrections' system to encourage good behavior, said Bill Miskell, a department spokesman.

The eased restrictions aren't sitting well with some family members of Rader's 10 victims and prosecutors who helped put him behind bars at the El Dorado Correctional Facility.

Rader, who called himself BTK for his method to "bind, torture and kill," would have to serve a minimum of 175 years to be eligible for parole. Kansas had no death penalty at the time of the murders
