Charles Manson, 68 in November 2002,
was convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Because the death sentence was abolished in the state of
California his sentence was changed to life in prison. He is currently being held at Corcoran State
Prison. He has been a difficult
prisoner who is constantly pressing the system
to its limits. He finds himself in isolation much of the time. As of April 2002 he has been denied parole 10 times. His next parole hearing is scheduled for 2007.
Charles “Tex” Watson is currently serving a
life sentence at Mule Creek State Prison in Northern California. He has found God during his incarceration
and has found a way to help others through his faith. As of October 2001 Tex was denied parole for the fourteenth
time. He is eligible again in 2005.
