Danny Masterson, the disgraced actor, has been transferred from North Kern State Prison to the infamous Corcoran State Prison in California. This move puts him in the same facility where the late Charles Manson was incarcerated until his death in 2017.
Key Takeaway
Danny Masterson’s transfer to Corcoran State Prison draws attention due to its connection with Charles Manson’s incarceration. The move raises questions about Masterson’s safety and adjustment in a higher security prison environment.
Similarities with Charles Manson
Corcoran State Prison, where Masterson is now held, was the place where Charles Manson spent his final years. Manson, known for the notorious 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders in Los Angeles, was placed in the Protective Housing Unit due to the potential threat he faced in the general prison population.
Notable Inmates and High Security
Corcoran State Prison has housed other high-profile inmates, including Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of former U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy. The facility is known for holding some of California’s most dangerous criminals, such as murderers and gang members, in a high-security environment.
Legal Background
Masterson’s transfer follows his conviction on two counts of forcible rape, resulting in a 30-year prison sentence. Before arriving at Corcoran State Prison, he was processed through the North Kern reception center, a medium security detention facility.
It remains to be seen how Masterson will adapt to the stricter security measures and environment at Corcoran State Prison.
